Has anyone changed the muffler on their new tacoma yet? If so let me know what you have and how you like it so far.

I'm thinking I want a nice tone to it, not overly aggressive and nothing that makes it sound like rice burning import bumblebee car either.

No speakers here at work, but maybe later at home I can. Is that AOL or MSN IM? What did you end up putting on your truck?

I have an Xrunner...and i think the Exhaust sounds freakin awsome...got a nice growl to it and not overly loud and annoying...it has enough sound to let others know its there...but not sound like I am trying to race everyone

its on aim, and its a ss 18 inch magnaflow.......sounds great......much improved even from the x runner exhaust. its very mellow at low throttle, a little deep hmmm, little more throttle it sounds nice and mean. i would def do it again.

I had looked at magnaflow as a possibility. What were the inlet and outlet, sizes and offsets of the muffler? Was there any trouble getting it mounted up since its shorter than the stock muffler is? Still using the stock mounting brackets or no?

it was center to center, 2.5 in/outlet. i did use the stock brackets, and it is close enough in lenght that it fit. my dad and i welded it in, went real smooth.

Sounds like a good fit do you have the muffler part# by chance. Might have to give a Magnaflow a try.

Do we have any more information on upcoming exhausts or possibly even some exhausts that exist today for the 05 Taco?

My friend just got the Banks exhaust for his Titan and it just sounds mean. Granted he's got a V8, but I'd still like to get a little rumble out of this truck as well as any performance gains it might provide.

So any news on exhausts?

Jon - Got the clip, thanks. Sounds really good. Has it broken in yet or what that a clip of it new? Either way
