    Loud as hell URD exhaust!
    Regret mods:
    - Supercharger ($7k with fuel upgrades is not worth it on a daily driver)
    - Deck plate (good only at WOT, everywhere else it just wastes gas)
    - Oiled air filters (k&N, Amsoil, etc...)
    - Cheap suspension (spacers, shocks, shackles)
    - Mud Terrain tires (cool factor wears off after 100 miles of noise)
    - Dark window tint (5% sucks at night)
    - TRD Package (not a mod but a waste of money)

    Too new to have any regrets. Although I did have a Mustang GT that I did everything I could possibly do to it. Including a S/C. Thought I should sell it before I get in trouble. Used the money to buy a Tacoma. Besides you can do more with the family with a truck.
