i wanted to know which muffler or cat back system wood be good for the XB i wanted something that gives a bit of hp and a bit of sound i wanted to get the trd muffler but i dont know how it sounds on the XB so i turned to you guys see if you guys can help
thanks A.B.C

I got the TRD installed last friday, took our local muffler shop 5 minutes...exact fit, no mods. I really wanted a muffler that wouldn't be too noisy and I got the right one. My babies ride with me on Thursdays and Fridays and didn't want to mess up their hearing early, plus this conforms to the DMV 95db(I think) limit for mufflers and comes with a certification. It is 1 piece, axle back system only, not cat-back like it says on the box. Picked it up from W. Covina Toyota TRD specialist Tim, nice guy for around $257 + tax. I like the breathability it gave the scion coupled with the AEM CAI. I drive an auto so wife can enjoy it too, so I need as much Hp I can get to boost this car a little bit. I also was going to have some pipes custom made from cat to this TRD system, guys at dealer thought it may void warranty. I am very happy with it. If you want louder mufflers, this is not for you, get the ones they talk about in the other forums like Greddy, bulllet, blitz, they have more Hp like 8-10 as oppose to about 3-5 on the TRD. Hope this helps.

i just want to add that the greddy, blitz nur spec, etc do not add 8-10hp. that is a myth. especially with our small engines. but they will help a little. maybe 1-2hp at most. that is, unless they cause a loss in power, which is possible.

I am using the Magnaflow mirrior finish muffler with a ___ tip. Here is the link to the pics.

It is completly quiet at high RPMs, of course I also had the entire exhaust system done as well.

Nice work...The muffler and tip is very similar to the TRD, jI ust like your tip better because it seems thicker and polished better. Wondering how much the system cost without the muffler, just all the custom pipe from muffler to the cat. Thanks.

this sytem with out the muffler and tip is about 390.00

:?: Curios to as if you can install a Flowmaster on the Xb. It seemes that there is an awful lot of room under there. Also was wondering if anyone has gone up to 2.5 or 3 inch piping?

2.5 and inch piping is too big. stick to 2-1/4.

a flowmaster will fit under there, but it will be loud!

I want to hear a borla on an xb..... until I'm able to get an xb to put one on. I love the sound of the Borla I had on my last car fun car and EVERYONE complimented it. Deeper tone

alright someone help me out here...i know that most of the exhaust out here for the xB are axle back...not cat back...some please clearify this for me...why do the xB exhaust systems only come axle back and not cat back...and are we talkin about the rear axle here or something else? some please help...thanks...

Im putting a flowmaster on mine next week probably. Im thinking about just dumping the exhaust though. I want people to say "what a _______" when they hear how loud it is im gettting the thing for free and were just gonna weld it in then I will switch it out later. Ill let you know how it sounds.

im might go put an skunk2 muffler on the xb see how it sounds if i dont like it i will go and rip it out see how it sounds when its done

Does Skunk make something for the xB? If you put it on let me know how it sounds that is probably the company I would most want to go with.

I would stay away from the Flowmaster. I put one on my wifes accord when I was young and didnt know better. It was the loudest thing I have ever heard. You couldnt even hear the radio while on the freeway. It was all drone.

skunk got an unervesal muffler im going to stick under there see how it works it looks bad

the skunk2 muffler is to big that thing looks way big so i didnt get it on there that hing looks like i will get a lot of tickets

this conforms to the DMV 95db(I think) limit for mufflers and comes with a certification.

That regulation is such a BS. Have you heard one of those Harleys on the street lately?

Now, I am not even into loud exhaust. But, I am sick of authorities that makes up the regulations that they are not willing to follow through on all people.

its illegal on harleys too.

they shoud give them tickets 2 its all the same stuff aint it

We just recently had a DNX Performance muffler put on our xB, and I have nothing but good things to say about it. When you are cruising it is not loud at all, but when you step on the throttle it lets everyone around you know that you are there. On freeway trips if you don't have the baffle in it will definitely put your rump to sleep though.

we got a universal muffler with a flame treated tip.

its illegal on harleys too.

I'm sorry for not being clear.

I know it's illegal on Harleys. I am saying who gets more crap? I hardly hear any Harleys getting pulled over for being loud.

hehe. i hate it too, but its always been that way and its gonna take a lot of enforcemnt to fix it if they ever do. i ride a harley with a DAMN loud exhuast...hehe and i have never been pulled over for it.
HOWEVER, i also have an 82 elcamino which has a relatively loud exhuast (headers and true duals with flowmasters, for those of you who know more than just imports), but not even half as loud as the harley and i have been ticketed for 'too loud an exhuast.' trust me i was ____ed, but there was really nuthin i could do b/.c it is a modified exhuast, and its all the officer's opinion. in california, any exhaust that is not stock can be considered illegal.

another funny thing is i always see ignorant ppl say that harleys are an exception b/c they come stock with loud exhausts, when in fact the stock exhaust on ANY harley is damn quiet....ex. have you ever heard a cop on a harley bike with a loud exhuast pull up next to you? nope.
anyways, i just wanted to put my 2cents into the conversation.
