    haha yeah i've heard of people doing glass backs but still sounds high pitched, just won't be able to get that low grumble unless you get a tundra. those v-8s sound sick when done right

    it should sound great. mine is pretty deep so im assuming it would slightly less deep on a 4banger. i love it because its not too loud at idle or low rpms but when you get on it, it roars so you shouldnt get pulled over


    i would reccommened the flowmaster super 40 for a deep, loud but not too loud muffler. it should not sound ricey

    Yeah, but you still have other drivers trying to see you. Lights are meant to provide...light. For safety. Yours and others drivers'.

    im no expert nor do i pretend to be but im sure it would sound good based off of the deepness of mine


    i found it online for like $60 or something, then i took it to this guy who installed the muffler for another $60

    I only put on 2 coats of night shade. All the red and orange looks gross on a black taco. Anyways you can still see the brake lights just fine. It might be a little hard to see in the day.

    well you have to make sure its the super 40 not just the regular 40. heres a super 40 video. not super deep but pretty good for $60 (unless you have ~$800 to drop on thorleys and a magnaflow)

    yes sir. 35W is plenty though, unless you want to blind other drivers. i have 35W and they are still way better than stock. the color temp determines the color. i have 6000 kelvins and its a cool blue color. higher temp is going toward dark blue/violet and lower temp is going towards yellow
