Hey does anyone know a good muffler for a 22re, The guy who had it before me put big exhast piping and a huge flowmaster I think its a 40 series, not sure, but it just sounds real airy, does anyone run without a muffler, just a cat? I think Im going to just cut it off, thats how I had my V6 till it decided to blow both head gaskets . Any advice would help.

sure cut it off and get pulled over for being to loud .... i had a flowmaster delta 40 on my 22re with 2.25'' pipes and it sounded great ... are you looking for it to be loud or just a little loud

seeing as you live in CA there is no way that you will get away without a muffler. you will be pulled over the day you take it off.

yea those nazi-cops would have a field day with you. Besides the fact that your gonna need a ring job after a while of having almost no backpressure.

yea, I ran without a muffler for about 8 months....Not a good idea. As far as I know, no damage, but after running without it, and having one put on. I estimate I regained 20+ hp with a new performance muffler. I got the muffler used, it came off a tundra. i think i spent 100 or less on the muffler, new tailpipe and labor.

Go with a muffler. By the way, I'm surprised the mods haven't seen your avatar!

My V6 wasnt that loud, never got pulled over for loudness, but the back pressure sucked, what muffler would you guys recommend, I dont mind loudness, just not deafning, I want a muffler that sounds great, and performs good too, any suggestions? I think I figured out why it sounds so airy, theres a leak in a weld its about the size of a toothpick, how much do you guys think a muffler shop will weld it for, or should i throw some jb weld?

ive had bad experiences with jb weld on mufflers lol. Just take it to get it welded. It should cost almost nothing if its just a little spot

holy crap, someone else from victorville...
just take your truck to either Howards Muffler off of Mojave dr. or Allied Muffler off of Hesperia rd and Yucca st. they are the best shops best up here.

If you're trying to save money, just get a muffler from anyone of the parts retailers. Don't go without one though. I'm not aware of any state that allows you to not have one at all. It's not just due to noise but fumes getting into the cab because of where they exit the vehicle.

Elton

if you like it loud go with a 14'' magnaflow if a little loud is what ur going for try a 18'' magnaflow

MMA_Alex

some places have no requirements for emissions if i remember correctly alabama? or one of those states

I also was going to recomend a 14" (LOUD) Magnaflow or an 18" (loud) magnaflow. Excelent.

kansas also has no vehicle inspection, except when you bring it in the state. THey look at it and make sure the VIN matches.

A huge header back exhaust will actually cost you torque.

If you've got a small pipe all the way to the cat, then a muffler is just a sound device.. don't gain anything sigificant by remove it, other than noise.

nat88toy

engines do need some back pressure! id keep it on.

Red3.slow

I think a flowmaster 50 series would sound good on that. I would not run with out some form of muffler and cat. I have a 12 inch glasspac and no cat. The old one was pluged and I just haven't gotten around to a new one. Car sounds cat will be added soon enough.

MMA_Alex

please dont start this debate again...

I was saying the samething, another dude from victorville, but I'll check out those shops, thanks, we basically have the same truck too, just mines a 4x4

94toyota4x4

Im thinkin Im going to go with the 18" magnaflow, any true hourse power gain from it and can you compare the loudeness to something else? Thnaks for all our help guys.
