I have a Magnaflow cat back system on my Tacoma. Great sound, great finish. The part # 15811. I got mine on eBay. Brand new 350$$! Took me an hour to install it.

No catback's going to make any noticeable difference in power. Don't waste your money on a catback's system. Just get a muffler if you want sound.

i have used boasl on all of my vehicles. Fitment has always been spot on in the 15 years i have used them.

They offer a lifetime on pipes and mufflers, YES, PIPES and mufflers. Their prices are very competitive.

Elton, thank you for your suggestion.

I went to my local muffler shop and installed the 18" Magnaflow muffler for my 97 4Runner 3.4L V6 Limited.

This is the sound that I've been looking for

Now I need a nice looking 3" tip.

18 inch magnaflow is what I got onmy 3.4 and I love it. It seems to have gotten a little louder over time though, but not in a bad way.

You can't go wrong with Magnaflow 18" muffler. It is loud and beefy.

I'm still using the stock pipes, only muffler is replaced.

Stay tuned, I will post a good quality video up in the next few days.

A Little late now sounds like you got what you wanted, but for the 97 3.4L I have a borla and think it sounds great. Not ricey but has a great tone. If you want i can put some videos up. Also, just got a borla system on order for my ISF as well as the roommates M3 with a Borla too. They are a little pricey sometimes, but you can't go wrong have had the 4runner with 170k and been on over 6 yrs.

I love Beto's!

There's one close enough to me to just walk to though, so I've never heard my JBA catback in the drive-through.

I will post so videos probably next week i'm in tulsa and the weather sucks. I will be doing the video for the 4runner the same time i do it for the ISF. Just got it in Yesterday and it looks sweet can't wait to get it on. http://www.borla.com/products/produc...=14659&ref=cat
Here is the muffler and piping I bought for the 4runner just a cat back. If you got any questions i'd be more than happy to answer.
