What a RIP OFF

What does the pro being a trim, not a different model, have to do with the exhaust?

 

Yes. Thank you. Knew it was an upgrade and dont know why I was thinking Rancho. Haha. You are correct.

 

That’s not how that works. It’s not sending 12v instead of five, it just changes the way the throttle ramps with small increases in voltage.

 

One could debate that no production car, truck or other was "designed" for any aftermarket upgrade. They are designed and built to o.e spec. This doesn't mean that aftermarket parts or tunes (tunes also changing shift points, a/f ratios, etc) could cause immature failure or a shortened life. Outside of adding aftermarket turbos or supercharger or the like, of course.

 

I think Rancho is an OEM on some Chevy/GMC full size trucks. Get you head out of the gutter!

 

No, I think it's 8.

 

Ford also....

 

i keep telling my Jeep friends that the Rubicon is a trim package and not a different model. Finally I got it, to some “trim package” means interior or cosmetic upgrades, not same chassis / engine with different axles or suspension.

 

Somebody smoked a little too much of that Christmas Kush

 

Puff, puff, pass

 

I have the TRD exhaust and is not a rip off. I did gain a few hp, not sure how many. If I'm not mistaking, you gain about the same hp with the meso gasshole. Just my $.02

 

But has a better sound and look.

 

Absolutely agreed. Specially when paired with the TRD CAI.

 

It is possible the TRD Pro makes more power, but Toyota doesn't advertise it as such in the press literature. Advertised spec and actual power/torque output can be quite different, as evident by the new Supra.

 

OEM exhausts aren't restrictive.

These myths are from the crippling emissions of the 70's 80's and 90's.

You won't gain power from a cat back muffler.

These trucks don't even have exhaust manifolds, its just a large flange that bolts to the head. It flows fine.

 

Or the aFe

 

Yea..they are sweet.. sounds like Chewbacca is trying to rip my hood off everytime I floor it!

 

Lol, dont you love it when people say they feel the extra horsepower after installing a little part here and there. Lol

 

Placebo is a hell of a drug.

 

Rear locker on the OR. Only major difference besides the decals, and it's a pretty big one if you actually have a need for it. If not then it's just a paper weight in your rear diff
