Alright guys im looking into putting an exhaust system on my 03 Tacoma. I see alot of posts on here talking about Gibson exhaust. I was at first looking into Flowmaster. Which do you guys think is the better exhaust system?? Here is my specs.






2003 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab Pre Runner 3.4L V6. K&N Filter Installed.

My vote is Flowmaster, but then again I have never heard a Gibson exhaust so...

My buddy has a complete dual setup (dual muffler, dual pipe/tip) and it sounds NICE! Its loud but nice..

What are you looking for? Throaty roar, just a little deeper, really loud, what? Also, are you looking for a complete setup? All I'm gonna do on my 4-runner is cut everything off after the cat and add on a new muffler and use my existing pipe and a new tip so...

Pretty much what are you looking for in your new exhaust setup?

Well #1 would be performance ofcourse , Id like it to be a good tone, not horribly loud but still loud enough to make a difference, but also im hopin the interior sound wont be so bad that id have to ahve the radio full blast. the system i priced replaced everything from tthe exhaust back except the catalytic converter.

Not one of the choices, but i really like my magnaflow...just my 2 cents

What is the part # for your magnaflow...

I think it is 12226 ( 20" overall, 2.5", 5x8 oval )

How bout Gibson vs. Jardine? I was set on Jardine because of sound and price but the fallback was it was not stainless steel. Now theres a guy on ebay selling the Gibson Stainless steal exhaust for like 10 bucks more than the Jardine. I can't find a sound clip of the Gibson exhaust anywhere

I run flows, but I know Gibson builds kick butt deseil exhuast systems.

Yea, I've heard they are nice but I really want to hear one. I like real quiet exhausts

Define "better" in your eyes...

I vote Flowmaster...just got mine put on 3 days back and am very pleased with the 40 Series they put on...when the guy said the deal package came with the 40 not 50 series i was kinda bummed but im glad now becuase the 40 series is a little quieter but still louder than stock. Still kinda getting used to it but can definitely tell power difference.

the 40 series is louder than a 50 series...... unless you are looking at a 40 delta versus a regular 50

The 40 delta is one of the loudest offerings from flowmaster. Correct me if Im wrong the 30 is the loudest street muffler and even louder than that are the American Thunder series that are made for race cars.

I have a magnaflow 2.5 cat back and it is great

Thats interesting...whatever 40 i have (i can't tell from looking at the Muffler itself) is defintely quieter than my brother's pathfinder with the 50. Im not exactly sure about the details but im defintely pleased with whatever they through in there.

Painfully expensive, but After two cross country trips, I can say my Borla system is pleasantly quiet. I'd say too quiet, but I used to get heahaches with the glasspack I had on my saab (it gota lotta looks at intersections). Just a thought.

I really like the Borla but just can't afford it. And the Jardine sounds very close

where would one buy a magnaflow catback for a 02 4runner
