Exhaust

[2fast_Eddie]

What do you guys think would be the best exhaust muffler for a Tacoma 3.4 V6 engine is? and I'm not just talking about the way it sounds, but best performance out of an exhaust.

Either it's on or it's off. . .

Nowadays, any of the major players all do about the same. Dynomax, Flowmaster, Borla, etc...they all help flow, flowmaster is by the far the loudest. When I put a 3" exhaust on my K1500 it lost some torque because I lost so much backpressure. I would keep the stock pipe, and just weld in the muffler.

I have always been happy with Flowmaster,like Ryno said bigger is not always better.I bought a 03 Tacoma Quad cab 4wd TRD,and was going to lose the just the stock muffler and go with a 3 chamber Flowmaster,I think its would be 2 1/2".I just don't want it to sound like I had one of those flatbillers install it,for example dual 3" now I will be a hard core dezert racer,j/k

Don't worry about the power advantage. They are all similar and in my opinion don't do a whole lot compared to other power upgrades that can be made. On my 3.4 v6, i have the stock pipe with a flowmaster 2 chamber dumped after the muffler, and have a straight pipe that can replace my catalytic converter when I go offroad. Don't waist you money on Borla. In my opinion, the best onroad sound/performance comes from a flowmaster 2 chamber dumped and retaining the cat.

I ditched my stock muffler and first had a Flowmaster Series 40 and now I have a Dynomax Race Bullet. Can't tell a difference between the two, and after a while they all sound the same...loud.

Go with a Spintech...it will outlast a Flowmaster due to better qulaity assembly and it sounds awesome. They are a small company who prides themselves on quality...not some huge mass produced company selling advertising!

"Unlike any muffler you have ever seen or heard before
Traditional muffler designs remove sound in two ways: friction and absorption. Friction mufflers (stock type, turbo type, chambered) have high back pressure and can cause extreme high resonance and noise inside the vehicle at certain engine speeds (2000 to 3000) RPM.

Absorption (packed mufflers) have a straight through design, they can have good flow but the packing begins to deteriorate and get louder as they wear out, and with modern engines the heat is very high which destroys the packing even quicker.

Spin Tech's patented design provides maximum performance for today's modern engines. Its all done by means of a Spin sound trap, which captures sound vibration (noise) and turns it into heat within the muffler case. As exhaust gases enter they are routed to the spin traps which create a high velocity vortex trapping the sound waves. The extremely high flow rates are achieved by a unique internal scavenging system that creates a venturi effect.

Developed and fine tuned in the toughest race tracks of America, our product development continues as "Spin Tech Performance" mufflers are gaining more and more followers in the extremely competitive racing areas of Drag Racing, Circle Track Racing and Road Racing! Race officials are frequently requiring mufflers on competition vehicles, more often than not the 95 DB rule is becoming the norm. Spin tech performance mufflers can make the difference between winning and losing! "
