Vortex Muffle

Whats goin on every body...My names billy, im 17 and i have a 1996 4Runner limited.....I only have a couple mods on it
~ Crystal Eyes Altezza Carbon fiber tails
~Vortex muffler with a magnaflow tip.

Ok this muffler is the ลลลล....It's awesome. I got it from Jason (Burtman) He told me it sounds kick ass and gives a lil more power.....well he wasn't bs'n

This is such a cheap mod but it makes your ride sound awesome...Jason describes it as makin your V6 sound like a V8 but its a whole lot louder than my dads V8 in his 4runner....All it's awesome.....If you're looking for something that sounds great and gives you a little more midrange power that costs a little under $100...this is the way to go...I highly recommend it....

Well if you got any ?'s hit me up...i'm new and i love to talk about car.....specifically 4runners

Glad you got that sucker on. There are about 20 different vortex mufflers, luckily I found the one that sounds best. Been runing it for 4+ years on my own.

Adam F has one on his 2nd gen, and had it on his 3rd.

I can get you any grille guard you want. Feel free to IM or email me.

I had it on my 96 with the 3.4 and also have it on my 88 with the 3.0. The 3.4 flows a lot more air, and the muffler sounds quite a bit louder on the 3.4 as compared to the 3.0, but it still sounds killer on the 3.0.

Go for it, it's a great muffler for ANY vehicle.

Hey all,
We were talking a bit about this mufler on Chat last night. Somebody gave a link to a video, and it sounds awesome. I may end up getting one of these.

Adam F--Was that your 4runner on the link? Looked just like yours.

Well, have fun all.

This particular model doesn't cost me much less. I basically added them for those that have been asking for them for a long time to help out.

You don't need to. I know what fits the 4Runner best, and the one I have on mine is the best. You can always AIM me if you have more questions. ANy muffler shop can do install. They will cut out old one, and weld in the new.

Ah, ok. The link on your website is different. Sounds really good though!

They had a video link on chat with a silver 1st gen that looks like yours with a Vortex muffler. Must be somebody elses.

Well, have fun all.

can you make a dual exhaust installation with this muffler. It looks like it has a single opening. I've seen mufflers with one opening from the engine and two openings for the exhaust.

You sure can. Yourexhut shot can either add on a simple Y for you, or I can get the the dual outlet version if you want.
