I have spent so much time looking for people who have changed from stock to custom or TRD or anything. My 2001 4 Runner needs a new system due to rust. HELP!!!!!

Paid $650 (yea yea, too much $, blah blah) for my TRD catback system. Had it since about March of '09. Happy with it so far. Sounds pretty nice, much better than the Dynomax muffler I had on before







The dark chrome tip is starting to rust around the TRD etching jusssst a little bit... but I hit it with some polish every now and then to keep the corrosion at a minimum

 

Dont feel too bad, i spent nearly 1200 on my exhaust and im still not 100% finished.

 

$50 installed. This is way back in the day when I just had a glasspack/cherry bomb installed with the stock piping:

$170 shipped and installed. And this is the Jardine system that they no longer make. Keep in mind that I'm having issues with an internal rattle in the Jardine muffler, but allegedly they are going to cover it under warranty.

24" magnaflow on stock piping. Paid around $70 installed and it sounds pretty good. Most people get the 18" but i decided I wanted it to be quiter. The older I get the more respect I need to have for my elderly neighbors bla bla bla haha. Needless to say, it's exactly what I wanted. Not too loud and still noticeable. Deep & low on roads as well as the highway and sounds awesome pedal to the floor. Been meaning to get a video up.

 

I've run the same system for the last eight years, no problems other then the muffler is getting some small stress cracks in it, and most of the packing is getting blown out.. I'll prolly toss a glasspack on there.
