Need Help on choosing muffler!
2 Attachment(s)
After researching for several hours, I have narrowed down the choices for a new muffler for my 96 3.4L 4runner. By personal opinion I have ruled out Flowmaster and several others and it is down to MagnaFlow or Vortex.
I don't want anything obnoxiously loud but I want you to be able to know I got something in there. I was looking at the Magnaflow 18" if I were to go that route. I have heard a lot of good things about Vortex from Jason B. and other 4runner owners. Please share your input with me on this topic. Picture of My Rig |
Magnaflow 21". Not much louder than stock at idle but definitely a peppy rumble during throttle.
I remember that Vortex people talking about their trucks sounding like they had V8's in them. That would be too loud for my truck. |
Thanks for responding. I'm new to this stuff and trying to work out all the kinks with posting a thread. Still haven't figured out how to get the pictures on yet. Are you running the 21"?

I'm starting to lean towards the 18" Magnaflow. I've been listening to some clips and other peoples opinions and I think i'm sold.

ive known two people now who went w the 18" MF and then sold it for the 24". why? because 18" was too drony and loud on the highway. 24" is a teeny bit louder than stock, but still throaty at startup and on the streets. ask both tdiddy and localmotion about their experience. oh yeah, moved to newb land :D bob |
Thanks Bob. Maybe I have the 24" muffler. All I know is it's not the 18" and I like it.
|
I'm going to go with the 18" magnaflow, going in Friday to have them look at what we're going to do. I might hate myself and wish i got the 24"

Id go with a Magnaflow. A few people on Toyota Nation have uploaded sound clips of their Tacomas with Magnaflows and even the 4-bangers sound pretty beefy with Magnaflows.
Every other performance exhaust Ive heard on a V6 sounds ricey. |
i have a 18'' magnaflow on mine dont sound ricey at all
|
i have a mixed feel on Flowmasters. On my old Explorer it sounded like a champ! you definately knew i was coming. My current toy, i have a bigger cat with larger pipes, and a flowmaster, and it was kinda disappointing. you can tell i have a new exhaust on, but with all the stuff i actually put on the exhaust system and the money i spent on it, like i said, a little disappointed. yes i know i have it on a little 4 banger but i am wondering in the back of my head if something else woulda sounded a little more beefier. oh well, i am stuck with it, and so far my system seems pretty bullet proof.
(i have beat on it a little. . .haha) |
