Figure i would ask but probly wont find anything but any cheapos comparable to the borla...that setup just sounds straight up bad ass

 

they all sound the same unless you spend $$, which most ppl dont do anyways.

 

you can buy a magnaflow turbo straight through, it'll sound similiar to mine.

 

ya but magnaflows are expensive to and some you can hardly hear. a buddies 3.4 tacoma has one and it has a nice tone but its not loud at all

 

magnaflow has a cheaper turbo style straight through based muffler than the borla... remember my muffler was 150 bucks heh

 

haha dang and i thought my 50 dollar cherry bomb extreme was expensive. im use to 20 dollar glasspacks and free straight pipes

 

I've had a Magnaflow on my 88, it sounded good, not too loud. I also had a cheap cherry bomb on my 88, and it sounded very similar. Like I said, most exhaust out there are going to sound the same unless you start getting into $$ brands or exotic exhaust (ex: my custom exhaust which was also $$). $1k in my exhaust, and I'm finally happy with how it sounds...most people wont spend that much. Boosted and nitrous also makes a motor sound alot different :smirk:

 

By the law of synonyms it could be said "it sounds like Erik Beeman then...."
I actually don't mind it

 

I only give you a harsh time because I had the same exact setup as you and I thought it sounded like a mail truck with a huge exhaust leak. aka garbage.

 

Lol i loved the way my truck sounded when the muffler and tip was off.
Exhaust exited about 3 feet behind the cat, right before the axle..

 

all i did was cut the cat and ran the stock muffler and i exits in front of the back tire i think it sounds pretty good reved up other than the back firein

 

muffler fell off in the woods...ill keep it like that until i have to go through isnpection

 

ok well how much different would my exhaust sound if i took off my cat and put a 8" glasspack in its place?? i currently have 2.5" in/out magnaflow cat and a cherry bomb extreme muffler. im hoping to make it really loud but still keep the deeper tone it currently has.

 

i'll giv c cz z cxvb d

 

n vnvn bcn mm

 

well i had a hi flow cat and 8" glasspack and got complaints all the time and finally got a ticket. so i changed it to this set ups and its still pretty dang loud but the cops are finnaly off my back and i want it louder. lol

 

I have a custom exhaust using an oval Magnaflow muffler and no cat. Personally I think it sounds "okay". It was quiet as stock when the cat was still installed, but it got a hell of a lot louder when I took that out.

I don't think you will ever make a 3.0 sound that good, it will sure as hell never sound like a V8

 

What he said. It's not a hotrod engine, never will be, why try. If you drive it daily, trust me the loudness gets old quick. IF it's just a mud truck or woods truck, then whenever it falls off, who cares. Throw it in the dumpster. I still prefer stock. When I bought my 4runner, the exhaust pipes were so rusted and full of holes, it was all still there but may as well have not been, because none of the exhaust actually made it to the tailpipe. (not to mention that it didn't run...) but anyways, When I replaced it, I spent the $170 on a new Toyota pipe and muffler, everything from the cat to the tip. Nice and quiet. Maybe I'm just gettin old, but I drive this thing every day and the drone gets old quick.

 

i'll post it again for the 2 posts above this.... this is about as loud as a 3vz will ever go. im sure with a flowmaster muffler my truck would be more loppy
