Stock muffler/tailpipe

[the_greenhorn]

Question for those of you who have installed dual exhaust for 5.7: what did you do with the stock muffler/tailpipe assembly with polished steel tip?

I still have mine sitting in the garage - my assumption is that the stock setup is not worth much. My garbage man obviously won't haul it off, but I was just wondering what the rest of you did with your old/stock exhaust?

yep, just installed the TRD duals this weekend....guess I am going to stick mine in the unfinished portion of our basement, just in case I ever decide to go back to it.

I put mine out on the curb...it was gone within an hour.

setting out on the curb sounds like a good idea - will try that. Also, my stealership is just two miles from my house - i wonder if they would take it off my hands?

[TexBiker]

Any muffler shop would probably take them, too. Or a local scrap dealer.

Got mine sitting in my shed for when I sell the truck or trade it in. Then sell the aftermarket stuff for stuff for the new truck.

Have mine listed in the classifieds along with the stock air box. I guess you could use it as a cat decoy for the thieves. LOL They could practice their sawsall techniques with it...

Hang on to stock exhaust and airbox so you can install when you sell it and sell your aftermarket stuff best of both worlds.

Cut that stock muffler in half so we can see the guts !
bet the TRD muffler looks identical inside,got acouple Toyota wrench's saying the only difference is the TRD has two out instead of one like the stocker.

I wouldn't bet against them . . . . . . .

The TRD muffler is a straight through muffler and has stainless steel wool packing inside. The same outer muffler shell was used by Tenneco on both mufflers. I was in contact the the person in charge of the development of the TRD.

Local muffler shops will take them as they use them for collision replacements.

keep it, by all means, you never know.

I have stored mine in the rafters in the garage. You never know when for some crazy reason you want to go back stock, such as when selling the truck.
