I currenty am running a 99 SC Tacoma. I had the TRD Single outlet exhaust

from the cat back installed with the supercharger at the time of purchase

from toyota. At 70,000 miles I started noticiing a noise coming from

underneath the truck, especially when i would hit bumps. It sounded like the

exhaust was loose like a really bad squeek pitch. The sound got even worse

after a few days, I took the truck to a nearby toyota dealership and the

mechanic told me i had a Crack in the back of my muffler. I was speachless.

He basically sald i was going to have to buy a whole new exhaust or weld a

new muffler in there. I told him that i thought this was hilarious and I have

owned numerous other brands before and never had one with a 4 inch split in

the back at 70,000 miles. This was over an 800.00 puchase back in 99. I

took the truck to a local muffler shop the next day, I barely made it into his

shop as the sound and squeeling became so unbearable. All the guys in the

shop where looking at me as I pulled in as such a nice looking truck sounded

so badly. They told me I had a few options. to buy a new muffler and spend

over 150.00 or they would weld it up for me for free and it should be just

fine. Well. I was 3/4 of the way home and pulling into my driveway when all

of a sudden I heard a loud BOOOOOM. I was so pissed off. I turned around

and headed right back for the shop. They jacked it up and sure enough to my

suprise, The TRD muffler BLEW UP inside. Like the balast or the metal part ,

that tube that goes through broke loose. The shop could not believe it. they

junked the piece of crap and threw on a Flowmaster 40 series. Even though i

was out money All that was forgoton after they fired it up with the new

muffler. Now it Has the same deep tone but just much louder and with a snap

to it. kinda sounds like a prof race car. After this experience I am really

starting to question TRDs quality of there products especially the

supercharger. Although its been great Im wondering what day im going to get

in it now and its just giong to blow up!!!!!. I really feel part of the reason the

TRD muffler blew up was It became aluminized from running to lean. There

has been articles on here about how without a better fuel delivery kit the

Supercharged 3.4 runs lean and its a great way to aluminize the exhaust.

Thanks alot TRD for selling a half finished product and a 850.00 exhaust

system that grenaded!!!!!!!!!!!!!
