I picked up my new love today. A whole 4 miles on it and all the way from Japan in 3 weeks !!! When I finally got it home, I stood back and said "YEAH !!" and laughed. So much to do. Let the Mods begin.
I sold a 98 horse power Mazda Protege, so the xB seem pretty powerful to me,............. if that is at all possible.
My question is-- does the TRD muffler add any power, or is it just an expensive silver thing ?? Any body have the muffler put on ,notice any difference ???

congrats....i hope you enjoy your xb as i have enjoyed mine....and to tell you one thing...i sure wouldn't buy the trd exhaust....doesn't really look that good on the box....i have a 5zigen fireball exhaust on mine....also i wouldn't recommend the trd becuase of the price...you could find a better exhaust through someone else...

i hope you enjoy the car. you can expect a ton of performance from the xB. i would look into the full catback magnaflow exhaust

Congrats on the ride...
the TRD isnt great for the money,,,you ca get much more for your dollar, either magnaflow or greddy or otherwise....
If you want power sadly a exhaust won't do it but at least it will sound nice and throaty (excluding TRD)

LOL... Congratulations and welcome to the family. Don't get your racing aspirations going though as I think a Yugo Sport model could beat the box LOL

Thanks for the welcome, everyone!!
As for the exhaust, The boys at TRD seem to think theirs is the best. But isn't that true for everything thats sold, anywhere ??
I don't know what I'll do yet.
