    Has anybody that's done this had any problems? I'm thinking about straight piping my Taco, doing something to make it more V8ish at least, any suggestions/ any problems?

    I have seen this vid before..... he took off all pipes and is running straight headers in this video, though i dont believe he kept it that way..... Its bad for your motor. And IMO theres just too much rasp.

    When i was doing my headers i ran it straight block for like 1 min and it was WAY too loud.

(but not if you dont like loud) lol.. soon to come: -black headlight mod -aftermarket grill -blacked out emblems -headers -new shocks and leafsprings - considering all pro front bumper
    ive got an 05 taco 4.0 v6. i took it to the muffler shop had them cut out the muffler put a y-pipe on and run duals out the back. (its 2 1/4 tubeing with 3"x24" long tips) before i had the duals done i just cut the muffler off and put in a piece of pipe and had a single straight pipe.
    the duals sound alot better and deeper. ive got a k&n intake, dont know how it would sound with stock intake.
    also i did gain hp and torque.

    I've got an exhaust cutout behind my cats and after the y pipe so I can make noise when I want to but it won't have an obnoxious drone when I'm just cruising. Although I only open it like 5% of the time I like having options.

    In this video I'm opening and closing it to give you an idea of the difference.

    Dynocomp did a decent job. I have heard that they tune on the conservative side, which is ok for me.

    I scheduled an appt for like 1pm and when i got there they had a Pantera on the roller.... i had to wait like an hour, so they Dyno'd and tuned my truck for $75 because i had to wait so long. it was on the roller for roughly 30 mins.

    the tune gave me roughly 10hp. Im not FI, so that is fine by me. i have the dyno slip but it doesnt show the "before".

    If you want your truck to sound like a V8, you should buy a v8 truck. But if you're purchasing something just for sound, that seems like an awful silly reason to blow so much cash.

    I have yet to understand the mentality of purchasing something, and then trying to make it something it isn't.

    And FWIW, you cannot trust web video clips regarding exhaust sounds, as most video devices have horrible mics for sound recording.
