MagnaFlow swap
I considered a swap as well. The problem is that Toyota uses a dual inlet muffler, which there aren't many options for, but the inlets are not centered. That requires the muffler shop to custom bend some pipes to fit an aftermarket muffler. The same is true on the outlet. They would have to custom bend a pipe to fit. After its all said and done, you end up spending 3/4 the cost of a full cat-back and you can't go back to the stock system because you now have cut factory pipes with custom bent extensions.
For me the choice was easy. Spend a little more and have the full system, which is a larger diameter, 100% stainless, mandrel bent, lifetime warranty and tuned exactly for this application. Plus, if I so desire, I can bolt the stock system back on.
