Flowmaster 50.

I know of few of you got this one. I know lots of us got Magnaflows, Dynomaxes, and Vortex's, but listen to this. This is on a 3.4L Tacoma with a FLowmaster 50. Sounds similar to my brother's Silverado V8 with a 40.

I think I found my next muffler.

haha. Fair enough. The reason being my friend just got true duals on his frontier. It's a 3.3L. Ours is a 3.4L, I figure they will sound similar. His wasn't near are deep as the Taco in the youtube video. Right now, its down to Magnaflow, Jardine, or Flow 50.

It might have to come down to that, Plus I'm working at a garage right now, they distribute flowmasters. I think I could get a 50 cheaper than any other muffler.

So did you have a bad experience with the Vortex Muffler from Jason Burtman. That was the one I was considering.

I gotta buddy in Bluff City, so I'm down in Bluff City about once a week. We tend to go JC every now and then. PM me for contact info and we can try to meet up.

Yeah, no cherry bombs for me. Flows, at least in a V8 car, can have a nasty drone too...

Dual exhaust will eliminate your back pressure.
