Just installed a new cat and flowmaster muffler

the 4runner sounds a bit deeper, although i don't much like the on throttle sound... but the muffler was brand new and free from a buddy, so why not

I'm going to get the radiator cleaned tomorrow morning, then it's off to oceano dunes to ummm... test out the new muffler.

if it's not to windy I'll take some video clips since I know somebody will ask

"Free" is always good! What's the model and size of the Flowmaster?

it's a 2 chamber and about 12 inches in length I think... I thought it would be much much louder than it is. The car sounded like a beast this morning when started cold

having a good intake helps it sound a little deeper

I care. Seriously, dumping out even more polution than you need to to drive around is silly.
