i need a new muffler for my 88 22re 4runner as my old one is compleatly gone. What would you suggest in the 100.00 price range? i am looking for something that will last a long time first and then something that is not loud but if you listen for it you can hear a nice growl. Thanks

Can't go wrong with a flowmaster, but Vortex or magnaflow may be more your thing.

i guess i am looking for something that while in the cab with the windows up i can only hear if the radio is off. But when accelerating i don't want it to be to loud, just loud enough so that i can hear it in the cab.

Flowmaster makes an SUV series of muffler that is supposed to act like that.

Go with a stock replacement. All those aftermarket mufflers just make the 4 banger sound like a out of control popcorn maker. I can get you into a stock system for under your $100 limit and it runs from the cat back, bolts in too You know where to find me

if you're willing to spend $100 on a muffler, you need to get your priorities in order.

I like my Magnaflow...it was a bit more than that with install but I like the sound...went with 2.25" in/out and am very pleased with it.

linuxrunner

i am not really all that worried about the sound mostly i am looking for really high quality. Do you feel that the toyota mufflers are built better than aftermarket ones?

magnaflow stainless steel will last realy long time

linuxrunner

Does anybody have a aftermarket muffler on a 22re or 22r? does it really sound like a "out of control popcorn maker" Also do i need to weld on aftermarket mufflers? or do some bolt on?

Toyota gives you lifetime warranty on OEM mufflers.

There was nothing wrong with mine when I replaced it with my Magnaflow...that was at about 210,000 miles.

Listen to Toyofast.
Or go with a $19.99 generic oval muffler and 2 clamps.
Those Magnaflows etc are overpriced and loud.

linuxrunner

i think i am going to go with the toyota, Toyofast you have a new PM. If it is bolt on, lifetime garenteed and under $100 i think i am going to go for it.

So, uh... you don't want it to be loud, but you do want it to be loud...LOL
I tell ya, whichever performance brand you get (Borla, Magnaflow, Flowmaster etc) you'll hear it on acceleration and in the cab, especially during highway travel...it will DRONE! Go with the OE muffler from Toyota. The exhaust system on Toyotas is remarkably well tuned and engineered. In fact, I still have my factory exhaust, sitting in the garage taking up space

Toyofast

That's TRUE & FALSE. Toyota is no longer doing the lifetime muffler warranty program. If you had purchsed your muffler when the program was active, then you have nothing to fear. If you purchase a Toyota muffler after the program ended, then well... no lifetime warranty is given.

Just a FYI

my vote goes to magnaflow

Yeah I went for a 24" stainless Magnaflow and it was about $100 off e-bay. The longer it is the less noise it will make.

I just installed a thrush turbo muffler on my 89 runner w/ a 22re not long ago...Its very quiet, and the only sound difference is really from the rear if you put your ear up to it...Very minimal sound increase and only cost 19.99 from summit racing.....To sum it all up, it doesent sound like a popcorn maker, but I am sure it would if it was any louder...

I got a glasspack on mine. It was really cheap and sounds good. But I do have the 3.0, which sounds good anyway. Its a little loud though. Actually, its very, very loud. On the highway it isn't bad, but taking off, cruising, etc., its loud. Can't say I'd recommend it for you...
