hey guys, sorry but i didnt search to tell the truth. dont have much time since the last time i visted was in march.

i got an 89 toy v6 xtra cab 4x4 auto at home in hawaii. i now live in vegas but my dad uses to go to work and stuff and was wondering wats the best sounding exhaust? he doesnt want it loud since he is my dad but just enough for a good sound and performance. possibly a CAT BACK system. also not to expensive.

thanks guys!!

just a 22re

take the cat out and run it with a stock muffler thats my set-up sounds ok not loud but yet cant sneak up on anyone

18'' magnaflow muffler is nice not to loud if you want it pretty quiet almost stock like go with a 24'' one then go to a muffler shop and have a 2.25'' cat back bent up www.hottexhaust.com has good prices for mufflers

thats wat im running right now. been like that for bout 2yrs now. lol time for a change

Its all a matter of opinion in what exhaust sounds best, on my sisters rig we took her muffler out and left the stock cat, it sounds similar-ish to a Jardine, I like Jardine exhausts, a 30" glasspack would sound good too.. Please search next time..

If you have time to post, you have time to search.

Go to your local muffler shop and have a system made, it will be cheaper then any catback you can buy online.

2.25" pipe bent at the muffler shop and 18" or 24" magnaflow muffler (18 is louder than the 24) and 2.25 or maybe even 2.0 to the exhaust tip (by the time the exhaust hits the muffler, the advantages of 2.25 pipe are lost due to exhaust gas cooling).

Jay351

Well stock pipe size for the 3vze is 2 1/8th. So I would keep it at least stock, but since 2 1/8th piping is pretty damn hard to find, 2.25" is good stuff. No reason to ever go bigger then that though.

abecedarian

just for the record... 2 1/8 = 2.125

Jay351

Yes. Thats why 2.25" is a perfect size for the 3vze. A little bigger then stock, but not big enough to cause problems that say a 2.5" or bigger would cause.

2 1/8" pipe is almost impossible to find

not to mention muffler shops don't use DOM bending techniques to bend pipe so there is a loss of ID everytime they bend a pipe.

Jay351

Yep! Unless your local shop does mandrel bends, but usually they only do popular sizes like 2.5 and 3"... well around here at least.

If you use the crush style bends try to make a system with the least amount of bends. My system only has two bends in it (exits straight out back).

Just because you didn't have the time not to search does not mean you need to request to be spoon-fed.

Please try and be a little more considerate of other people's time and the time that they spend answering your questions that have been covered many times on here before.

Thanks,

How does that work... two bends.... Even if you leave the cat straight, and hit the muff straight, you have to bend up to go over the axle, then arc over the axle back down, then bend back horizontal. That's 3 bends....
