Absolutely not tryn to rip. BTW welcome

 

I don't really remember exactly but I would say actual muffler is about 14-16", with inlet/outlet its probably 20" or so...maybe a tad shorter...I can measure it for ya if you need me to.

Nice, how much did just the muffler run?

 

Well you also have to factor in all the engine too. What year is your 4runner

 

The muffler on burtman industries is 103$ with shipping

 

Same as 4x4Fink. My 18" Magnaflow was a bit too loud at highway speeds. How does the Vortex do in that category from the inside? If I can get convinced, I might try it when I get my 2.5" system.

 

He's got a Tacoma...if you've ever pulled up next to a Chevy/Ford with Flows, it'll sound like that but not as loud...a nice deep, mellow tone...but when you hit the gas it really wakes up! I set off on average 4 car alarms a day driving through campus to class...its a lotta fun!

EDIT: marko has a '98 and oly has a Taco

 

Thanks man! Maybe I'll have to get one!

 

That's short, shorter than the 18" Magnaflow. It sounds loud on Jason's website too. Does it really disappear during highway driving at 2.5k RPMS ish (from the inside)?

 

That's VERY loud... My 18" magnaflow annoyed me at highway speeds.

 

Not completely. You will still here it undoubtely

 

Yeah that's what I thought. I liked the sound of the 18" MF, maybe it'll sound nicer with a 2.5" pipe. If not, I can go 24" @ 2.5" pipe, if nothing else. Oh godh I am so picky...

 

If your Magnaflow annoyed you at highway speeds then I would advise against the Vortex...I'm used to it by now so it doesn't bother me and by the time I get my BFG's on here...not a big deal at all, but I understand what you mean.

Good luck!

HAHAHA. Ok i got a question does the pipe affect the sound of the exhaust???

 

There may be a very tiny difference in sound...but I would stick with the factory size pipe.

Fink

 

You mean the sound of MT's will overtone the exhaust?

I personally believe a bigger exhaust pipe will yield a deeper tone, but I am not sure. Can anyone confirm?

 

Good deal. Cuz ive been debating wheither or not to buy new pipes. thanks for the advice

 

I wanna get 2.5" in preperation for a supercharger/turbo (2.5 is too small for turbo, but better than 2.25). Also, 2.5" gives you a better top end at stock, lower bottom end.

 

From what I measured the stock piping size for the 3.4L V6 is 2.45"
