Toyota motors always had more engine noise than others its in their nature. Put thicker oil in it go up to 10w40 and it will quite some not much.... as for the air flow well thats also very common in old japanese trucks the 22r has this alot more than the 3.0. Just be thankful its nothing serious.

Buy a NEW Toyota, problem solved. I love the straight pipe on my 3.0L.

I'd just drive it for a few hundred miles without stopping. After a while, you'll notice the engine noise drops quite a bit. Then, lace up you boots and grab your jerry can.

get some dynamat (or similar material) and cover the firewall... its unbelievable the amount of noise that comes thru that thing...

haha it doesnt bother me that much lol but yea after driving a while the engine noise isnt as loud

i can deal withit next oil change ill go 10:40 and see how much it helps

and im doing new sparks to try to get rid of that stupid ticking + premium fuel.

and i just turn up the music put a dip in and listen to my exhaust.

And i love the straight pipe to it sounds more clean to me.

im straight piping it next weekend gotta buy flangers and piping for easy removal.

and I had a 22re and a 22r before in my trucks before this one and it wasnt that loud actually.

but also both were all stock with original everything ha

Thanks everybody and Yes it sounds so much better turned off but i just cant end up pulling the key out i love drivin it. sorry =/
