tacoma magnaflow....

well installed 18 magnaflow time will tell if i keep it or remove...one thing since magnaflow is not straight thru...muffler pipe moved about one inch or so to left...meaning not centered under heat guards....look @ pic....any extra stress on header connecting due to bend to left?

 

The donuts don't look stretched, I say its fine.

 

other pics
its about 1 inch or more to left not centered

 

more...

 

I'm assuming since connection to the headers have springs they have flex

 

I had on my second gen same application- dump before the axel. Sounded decent - I know flow master 10 times louder . Did the same dump with magnaflow on my 2020 and it sounds clean and much less quieter . I assume going from 4.0 to 3.5 might contribute to that. Overall sounds good and not really annoying in the cab. Wish I could post a audio file. Very very mild . Sounds best upon start up. Also- my buddy who has installed mufflers on all my trucks did a really clean job and reused the “SS/ chrome tip” . I’m never a fan of exhaust tips. I was gonna junk. Maybe spring for black tip but really not needed IMO since I have axel dump. Yet, he suggested to throw on- and looks good If you look under my truck. I’ll try to post pic later .

 

Trd, borla, corsa and gibson catbacks all sound pretty IMO. Not ricey at all.
