Be it TRD, Magnaflow, Flowmaster or whatever. Intill numbers are presented in a unbiased test of the systems, your opinion is just that and opinion.

I have also heard opinions that the Borlas drone at some RPMs make people want to puke. Again, just opinions.

I know that the TRD Dual exhaust is not going to suit everyone. I do know that it added some Umpf and it sounds killer when I punch it but, I chose to stay with the manufacturer for one reason and one reason only...the warrantee stays intact. This brand new Tundra design is unproven. I don't want any room for debate if something was to happen. So it costs me twice as much, oh well. I got the effect I was looking for.
Excellent points. Doubt you will see any MPG gains as you enjoy your new exhaust initially I have also heard that an exhaust rumble on start up will help eliminate the imaginary "piston slap" issue.
