    lol are you asking me to test the All-mighty red hole cover on a dyno?

    I never even knew people were curious about that, I've never seen anyone mention it and I just thought it was a drain.

    You can youtube "tacoma magnaflow" or "tacoma flowmaster" and there are more than enough videos to give you an idea of what you'll be getting. I personally prefer the Flowmaster 40's.. The Magnaflow reminds me of a baja truck.

    Are you sure its an on-off switch. On my Unichip I had on my tundra had a switch but it was for two differnts maps (aggressive/more aggressive). Just a note my unichip f**ked my tundra up real good after about 1.5 years of use. Also all of thier chips are actually made in so africa

    so ended up going with the 14" magnaflow muffler would have rathered the 18" but the 14" was all they had.
    So far not to bad a little noiser then thought but owell.

    I disagree. Sometimes I like to shut off the radio when Im cruising in town or somewhere the rpm's are low and enjoy the sound of my truck. I do have a six speed which makes it easier to dial a tune without having the truck shift on its own.

    Cant wait for an aftermarket exhaust.

    See I'm getting more irritated with my Magnaflow catback every day. The drone when cruizing was 'ok' at first but after 4-5 months it's just annoying now.
    It gets really loud in the cab for no reason. I considered taking it off completely.

    I just readjusted the pipe lengths before and after the muffler by and inch or two. Hopefully I'll have changed the resonating frequency by doing that. I'll know tomorrow.

    Your exhaust has to be routed over your axle and pointed out the rear of the vehicle to eliminate that massive drone, I had the exact same problem
