I have a 3.0 and i wanted to know what exhaust/muffler sounded the best. not a fan of the import ricer sound, looking for a sorta deep mellow sound, i'll take any suggestions thanks

 

here is what my 4runner sonunds like with an intake and exhaust

i have a 12" glasspack muffler and a stock tailpipe

i've got a 40 series flowmaster on mine with an OEM cat....i like the sound. Nice and deep at low rpms....mellows out around 2.5-3k rpm.

 

NWOR tri-Y headers, Exhaust Depot high-flow cat, custom 2 1/4" cat-back system (single) with Raven muffler from Midas. very low growl, but screams at 4K RPM and up. I'll have to get some audio posted like 89mac.....

 

corey's exhuast page will give you a breadth of samples to listen to... http://pnw4runners.com/exhaust/exhaust.htm

 

i have a flowmaster 40 series with OME cat and it sounds great nice and deep around 2 grand and a power band around 3500 to 4000 thats what i would go with...

 

Another fan of the Flowmaster 40 here (I ran a CatCo cat though).

I'm pretty fond of the sound of my Borla cat-back system.

 

Nwor headers, stock cat, 2.25" NWOR catback with a magnaflow

whats the difference between a 40 series flowmaster and a 50 series

 

http://www.flowmastermufflers.com/mufflers.html

 

Id go with the glass pack as well as a descent size hole in front of it. You'll definately turn heads!!

 

p.s. its really deep and not very ricey

 

IMO Magnaflow mufflers are the best you can buy. They are relatively cheap, and have the best design for performance, that being a straight through design with perforated inner walls and sound deadening material around the perforation. They arent too loud, and offer the greatest flow.

 

thanks for all the help

 

for the money i dig my pacesetter cat-back...nice tone and easy to put on...

 

I just want to thank Corey's site - love the sounds. Great, now I have to spend more money - right after my new timing belt, pully and H2O pump.

 

magnaflow and 2.25 catback. very nice sound on highway.

 

I put a carsound free flow cat, 2.25" cat back with a dynomax 'turbo' muffler. Has a nice drone to it at 2000 rpm, and kinda makes the 3.0 sound mean...lol

Not quite as mean as my buddy's LS1 with true dual turn downs right after the cats! lol
