Why mess with perfection ? If it aint broke don't fix it!
Why mess with perfection ? If it aint broke don't fix it!I have an 05' Tundra and I'm looking to put a new exhaust system on it as long with a new air intake system. however i am totally confused as what to do because i've read that Toyota engineered the exhaust size to be perfect for the low-end torque of the truck, so I'm told not to increase the size of the pipes and just put on an aftermarket muffler, saving my money and torque. Don't know what to do, so if u have any ideas please let me know.

Bingo, that is correct. Don't screw with the pipes. I put on a Spintech muffler, and seat of the pants, gained some juice. Somebody on here has the same setup and dynoed it, I think it was a 5HP and 8ft.lb. torque gain, or about there. Just get a solid muffler that sounds good, a new exhaust tip, and call it good.I have an 05' Tundra and I'm looking to put a new exhaust system on it as long with a new air intake system. however i am totally confused as what to do because i've read that Toyota engineered the exhaust size to be perfect for the low-end torque of the truck, so I'm told not to increase the size of the pipes and just put on an aftermarket muffler, saving my money and torque.

He's got a VVTi motor which if I'm correct doesn't respond as well to headers as the non-VVTi motor does.Headers get some headers.

Has anyone done some 1/4 mile runs with headers and an intake on the VVTi engine? Where is the proof that headers produce results???Headers and a muffler.
You will be happy with the results. Dyno results do not fully reflect the part throttle gains of both. Air intake helps too, but stick with Trueflow or Airaid.
basically except the borlas are cheaper maybe even half the costA little off topic, i noticed toyota offers trd performance ezhaust and then on some sites i notice some tundras coming with borala off the showroom floor. Are they the same?? You could always go that route.
