Rear Muffler Disconnected From the Larger One - Dual Exhaust Replacement Available?

[el_madmaster]

Hey guys. I am changing the oil in the Sequoia right now and took a look at the underbody to see how bad the 5 NY winters were on it - I noticed a bellowing noise that actually sounds pretty good when slowing down recently. I just discovered the cause - turns out the pipe between the first and second muffler (or is the second one - the one where the two exhaust pipes go into - is that a cat?) is completely disconnected, thanks to rust.

Are there any 2 in, 2 outs, that are good and don't result in loss of low end torque, and don't result in replacement of the larger muffler? Someone on here has a Sequoia in their profile pic that has a system I'd be looking for. Also preferably side exit.

There is only 1 muffler on the Sequoia

It goes from the Manifolds down to the cats....
Then the 2 cats feed in 2 ins on 1 muffler
and that muffler has 1 exit.
The pipe goes straight back to a resonator and to the rear bumper.

If you get a 2 in 2 out you will have to have your muffler guy CUSTOM bend your second exit pipe.

Also there are few mufflers with 2 in 2 out that are good for the Sequoia.
You do not want the dreaded DRONE at cruising speeds.

I have the Borla dual exit on my Seq.
2 in 2 out... and its very nice.
I dont know if there are still any out there to buy.
I got mine off of ebay and I love it.
Check out my photos and you can see the set up and possible some photos to help explain how it looks

Ah figured maybe that was a smaller one... should change the post title to resonator disconnected from the muffler then lol.

Actually you were the person I had in mind with the setup I'd like to get - I remember seeing your pictures in a bunch of posts and thought that was the best looking exhaust set up on the Sequoia.

How much did the Borla run you? I read some posts hearing that the Borla is quite a bit louder than stock. Is it bothersome at all? I wouldn't mind having a much throatier acceleration sound note but still would like to keep it quiet in the highway.

Seems there's nothing on Borla's website anymore - guess I shoulda ditched the "wait till it rusts/wears out then upgrade it" policy a while ago heh.

I got the Borla on ebay about 2 yrs ago.
MAN, I can remember what I paid. I wanna say like $400 or maybe $500
I have seen these out there for $800.00


As for the sound.... "what sound" its just about as quiet as Stock.
(Even with the JBA Headers I added on)
Now if you STEP ON the gas HARD it has a nice throatier sound.
But its very nice
I use the Seq to drive around my wife and kids and they would not allow it to be loud or annoying.
I love it..

I dont think you are going to find it on Borla's website
BUt I have seen a few out there the NET.
Some are Dual REAR exit and others are like mine with the Side Exit.
You just have to look around.

You could have your muffler shop just WELD together the broken piece for
less. Or build you the 2 in 1 out (stock set up)

Also you could have then build you the 2 in 2 out with dual pipes and Stainless Tips...
Just stay away from the Flowmasters.
I originaly had custom bend 2 in 2 out dual rear exit with the Big 70 Series Flowmaster.
And it was just WAY TO LOUD and the drone at cruising (highway speed) was terrible
Money WASTED.

So I paid a Stupid Tax and got the Borla... BEST Upgrade I could have got.
