I know Borla offers an aftermarket system for about the same $. BTW, this stainless system carries a lifetime warranty (full replacement) on all of the installed components! I previously had a V8 Tundra and didn,t mind the sound of that at all. Other than this, I love this suv! Also will this void the Toyota warranty if it's only a cat back system.  deserttoy |
I just ordered my Borla system for my leased 4runner. Should receive it in a few business days. I did talk to Toyota and here's the info I received.
1. The system will not void the lease agreement. The guy said you can pretty much do anything you want to the truck, as long as you aren't drilling holes into the body or doing anything weird like that. He then went on to tell me that his buddy is leasing a Matrix and right after he signed up, he put a new exhaust system on.
2. I then called the service department to see if they'll actually install it for me. I'm in the Northeast and the Borla system is not offered through NE Toyota dealerships so I'm getting it shipped up from a SE dealership. The serviceman said that as long as there's no welding and no mods to the converter, they'll install it and the warranty will still be good.
Hope this helps.
