Wake up in Medford and now I have a V8....

I go to start the runner this morning and i immediatly think to myself, "Hey sounds good this morning, deep sound, must be the cold". Then i go to start driving, annnnnd vibration is everywhere. I get out. Look at my exhaust and it pointing down. No FCC censorship guy with a "Bleeper" could keep up with the amount of obsenities comming out of my mouth. I looked underneith and I need from the CAT back.


In a endless search here on yotatech of exhaust systems of which ones best /cheapest. I thought for people like me thinking about doing an exhaust soon. I need input: Best exhaust for my money! I have a 92 4runner with a 3.0 ....HELP HELP SOS

Stranded in Medford

I say Borla, but thats just me!

My 88 has a Borla cat back on it, it’s been on there for the last 100,000 miles and still sounds as good as it did when it was new! Go with stainless if you plan on keeping the 4runner for many more years, it will pay for itself. If not take it to Meinekee, they will install a stock spec system for $170 with a life time warranty. OR you could build your own with parts and pieces from a stock system with a high flow muffler. Either way exhaust system work sucks! I got a heck of a seal from http://www.streetimports.com/ on a full stainless cat back for my Mazda Thursday for $199 shipped!

go talk to Dennis at Lous Custom exhaust on Mystic Ave in Medford

tell him Tim from PV referered you

have a 2.25 or 2.5 inch cat back system put on with a turbo muffler of some type ( went with 2.5 )

you will be happy with that, he has tons of mufflers in stock, and can bend up a nice custom system, I am betting for a few hundred bucks, all aluminized steel too so it wont rust out

tim

I'm with B4R - you said "best/cheapest" Borla is quite probably the "best" but for that money you can buy another used toyota....

A generic turbo muffler and some pipes bent by a local guy will do the job perfectly, and you can take the money you saved a buy new tires or something.
