    Hi, This is my first post. I purchased a new 2017 Tacoma Sports Inferno. Didn't like the cheese grater front grill, car tires, hubcap wheels, and silent exhaust. So I replaced the muffler with a SpinTech and black tips. (can't see it, its on the other side. HA) Following is my stock pic followed by my pic took over the weekend. Guy

    Thanks! I wanna do more. Lift? True dual exhaust? I wonder if it would run better or worse with a split exhaust. K&N Air filter? California only allows the filter that fits the stock system. %$@& California!!!!

    Meh, take your time and think it over. Often times people lift and get vibrations in their truck... Messing with the exhaust usually creates more problems than it fixes.

    I'd suggest doing the stereo system in your truck first. Sound deadening, new speakers and amps...that's the way to fly man....

    Truck looks great guy! :thumbsup:

    Dual exhaust will hurt the low end power, bad idea on that one.
    Intake won't change the power but will make the truck a little louder.
    Lift would be cool, all for that! Do your homework and really identify what you want for a lift before pulling the trigger. tons of options and lots of reading on that topic.

    Start with what this guy said

    Thanks for the advise! I think I'll leave the lift alone. I like the stance with the off-set of the new wheels and I'm never going off road. Maybe a new K&N air intake. I was reading that the Tacoma is weak on power. I traded in a Mustang GT 6 speed, however, I blast onto the freeway every morning with my new truck! Seems to have plenty of power! The engine screams with a little higher tone than my GT did. LOL!
