Great clips. I love this muffler! It sound great on the 4Runner and the Taco.

Close up of tip.

Drive by.

The vortex sounds killer on the 3.4. I had one on there, sounded great. There was a sound clip floating around, I just don't know where it is nowadays.

I have one on my 3.0L and it sounds good, but nowhere near as good as the 3.4. The 3.0 doesnt flow as much so I guess thats why its not as good.

Heres a pic of the poor old muffler

Still no leaks after 5 years. Best muffler I've ever had!

Too bad I'm going to cut it off and either skip the muffler or put in a glass pack!

Nate08 · 07-14-2007, 10:21 AM

Why not ust put on another vortex?

Adam F · 07-14-2007, 10:41 AM

Not loud enough

Nate08 · 07-14-2007, 02:34 PM

This is on the 3.0? Because its pretty loud on the 3.4.

Adam F · 07-15-2007, 01:31 AM

Yup. Like I said, the 3.0 doesn't flow as much as the 3.4, so its a lot quieter. Plus, I want something obnoxiously loud.

GOH10 Runner · 12-03-2007, 11:50 AM

random but i just watched clip number one for the muffler, and when u were accelerating your brake light came on.....I had a 98 Limited that did that if I accelerated hard, do you know what causes it?

hanksyota · 12-03-2007, 11:56 AM

toyota's do this if they are slightly low in the brake fluid department. top it off, and it shouldnt be a prob. im not sure this is the case, but works for most.

oh and as for the muffler, ive been seriously considering getting one from jason, i just really want to stay as far away as possible from Ricey sound in my wee little 4 cylinder, so im still thinking about it. any notice in power difference?

x2! My truck was doing the same brake light thing. I added a bit of fluid and it was all good!

Awesome sounding truck!

Adam F · 12-03-2007, 07:25 PM

FYI if your fluid level is low enough to set off the light, either your brake pads are wearing down prettly low, or you've got a leak. Either way you should go through your brakes ASAP.

Nate08 · 12-04-2007, 04:30 AM

I topped it off and it's all good.

hey whats up guys, im new to the yota scene and im looking for a deep mellow muffler for my 4runner. I really like the sound of the videos from fireteacher. Im confused though b/c he calls his muffler a vortex classic, and then there is the one you guys were talking about, the cherry bomb vortex by maremont. my question is are they the same or different?

Clemsonfan15 · 05-31-2008, 05:43 PM

I'm not sure, but he Vortex sound good.

greyghost4x4 · 05-31-2008, 05:53 PM

I believe that they are different. I am not 100% positive but I think it is a size thing. Maybe someone else can help out.
