Tampa Bay Area Tacomas BS Thread

I dunno. I'm not sure I want to risk the resonance. Plus I want to run 3" pipes from just aft of the rear O2 sensor out to the back. I'm hoping that will give me a nice deep unique sounding tone. But yeah, I think the 40 series would allow me to have the muffler in front of the little crossmember that the carrier bearing is bolted to and that's probably where the mount for the traction bar would be as well.

 

I was thinking of Nam when I posted that.

 

Haha, he moved to Feature Sound which is on the north side of Ulmerton & if I'm not mistaken is considered Clearwater. Seth is on the south side of Ulmerton & that's St Pete. Boundaries are weird over there. Haha

 

Stole this pic from Ricks gallery. Looks like his is further back than what you're thinking.

 

I'm not terribly concerned about how it sounds outside the truck. The 40 series would sound great there. I'm more concerned about the resonance INSIDE the cabin at cruising speed. Like I said, the 40 series on the F250 drove me nuts with the hum inside the cabin (and it was like that for about 9 years, so it's not something I wouldn't notice after a while). It was pretty loud and made my ears buzz at times.

 

Lol well just thought I'd ask I have an 09 pre runner and I wanna know how much lift I need to clear 33s. Should I get spacers? Do they make plastidip in chrome?

 

I figured his was. That's the factory muffler location. I was just thinking if I go with a shorter muffler like the 40 series, I could move it to the front side of that crossmember and it'd be out of the way of the proposed traction bar.

 

no lift needed to clear 33's
you only need spacers if you don't have a torque wrench
and yes plastidip does come in chrome

 

Good info!

 

@SpruceTaco

Oi, you've ridden with Rick a few times. What's your opinion on how much resonance there is in his cabin?

 

Tampa Bay derp

 

I was trying to remember if there was any drone but that damn crs is not helping. Haha
The only thing that stands out was the hum of his tires which is ok cause mine is the same & it doesn't bother me.
I was wondering if it being under the bed & not the cab helped any.

 

Alright so when are we doing a lunch meet? Gotta get a good group so how about the 3rd or 4th weekend of this month

 

i drove blackhorse, wasn't annoying at all
not many people get to drive blackhorse, guess he trusts me

 

I drove it before you so he could video it.

 

i have video of me driving it, do you ?

 

Of course, did you not read what I just posted? SMH
