    i have had dual exhausts..........had one on my 06 tacoma, then went back to single exhaust.......and i liked it alot better. and thats why i went with a single exit exhaust on my 04.......................plus with duals.......you tend to lose power/torque a bit.

    Make it true dual exhaust and then we're in business!!! Otherwise, dual exhaust is always sexier. (especially the chrome tips)

    Wow, sorry I havent been on in a few days and Ive got some good and bad news. Ill start with the good, I DID end up going with a delta flow 40 series flowmaster single in/dual out and had it exitting in the stock location. It looks IDENTICAL to Gr8WhiteTaco's setup in the first pic (I opted not to get tips yet because they didnt have any smaller ones in stock that would look right. I also agree with you that RidgeRunners looks very nice tucked up like that, if I had paid closer attention, I would have told them to do this)...now on to the bad...I was at my brothers' house and he needed to make a run up to Walmart which is only 10 minutes away from his house and with my truck being the last truck in the driveway, I gave him my keys and told him to just take mine. He liked the way it sounded so I thought Id let him take it for a spin (big mistake). Im sitting on the couch with some cousins watching some weird horror film on sci fi when I receive a call. To cut a long story short, on the way back from walmart, the road was wet and he hydroplaned the truck off a very small hill into a ditch :( Luckily he walked away from it unharmed but I cant say the same about the truck. I currently dont have pictures (As soon as I take some, I promise I will make a new thread and post them) but looks like its going to need some hefty body work as well as motor work as it would not turn back on...after taking that kind of jump, Im not sure if I want it back though. Im just happy to report that he didnt get hurt because vehicles can always be replaced and makes me feel safe in a tacoma :) Im waiting to see how all of this is going to play out but whatever the course may be, I'll be back in an 01-04 double cab no doubt.
