Performance Exhaust SystemsDetailed discussions regarding performance headers, single, dual, street and off-hard racing exhaust systems for your vehicle.
This is a discussion thread titled "trd exhaust recall bait and switch", within the Performance Exhaust Systems forum, part of the Technical & Vehicle Assistance Forums category.
I had a recall for the trd exhaust on my 04 tundra, The dealer installed the
replacement exhaust and it all looked great. I ran it about 100 miles and
pulled my camper camping. When I returned home I cleaned my truck.
When I got to my exhaust tips and started to polish them the TRD logo
started to rub off. So my problem is that I payed for engraved TRD exhaust
TIPS and when they switched the system I got a lesser product.
Has any one else had a problem.
PS I would not have taken my truck near them If I had known. I want the tips I payed for.........................
COMMENTS PLEASE

Yes, looks like the TRD is engraved onto the tip. I remember mine having hard water spots on them. After I took the truck in to have professionally detail, it looked like the day I have purchased her...spotless.

My point the trd that my dealer replaced my system with are not engraved
they are some kind of stickers. That rub off I had cleaned my other ones
many times. I am fit to be tied. Anyone like to buy a dc tundra 2004 with
16,000 miles. Hate to say it for the first time in 20 years I may be a ford owner. want a deisel anyway.

Are you serious? getting rid of your truck because of the exhast tip, please it is not that big of a deal. Go back to your dealership and see if they will make it right. If they don't buy another one, not that big a deal.

It is the principle of it. I wont what I payed for. I have been a loyal toyota
guy since 1983.
I got a call from my dealer today I think they are going to make it right. This is great news to me I paid over 600 dollars for this exhaust because of the tips.
I have still been trying to get this issue resolved but no luck so far. I ask them to give me my old exhaust back and they could have the junk they replaced them with back.
they have refused that solution also.

So If You buy a set of TRD exhaust for your tundra make sure they dont have the fake Trd tips that the logo will rub off.
Figure I can tell at least 20 people

Whats the skinny on the 04 Tundra exhaust recall? I just bought my 04, called customer service for recall history and they told me it had all been done but only mentioned front-end stuff.
Thanks
Dave
probably just a recall on the TRD exhaust alone. Not the truck I imagine

mine also aren't engraved....for some reason I think TRD was cutting cost on them and not engraving the tips. Its still made by TRD and not a aftermarket replica, take a look at this link, those aren't engraved tips.
