Yesterday I received my exhaust from TRD Sparks. It is completely different from what is seen on the Borla website. The muffler is inline vs the side by side inlet and outlet. This morning I installed it in about 20 minutes. The biggest pain was removing the stock exhaust, mainly the rubber hangers were tricky. I love the sound, and couldn't be happier..

youve still gotta break it in.

 

sounds good

 

I took out for about a 20 minute spin. I can still smell the new burning off..

 

give it a good week for the true sound

 

it will take longer than a week.

 

depends on how much you drive it....but a good month will do it

 

No header right?

 

sounds good.

 

No header, just an Injen CAI.

 

getting a header isnt a good idea if they want that sound of the borla exhasut

 

Just wondering. Header drastically changes the sound of the exhaust.

 

yea the header will make the exhasut louder and raspy..cause it deletes the cat..if you have a custom midpipe or sometime then il be even louder cause no cats mean loud and raspy but you can get big resonators to help most people do that

 

that sounds hella good!! is this the exact same as the TRD axelback exhaust?

 

somewhat the TRD one is a litte bit quieter but alot more rasp with the header....

 

I bought my Borla at TRD Sparks Toyota.

I'm not sure, but I think they build their own system. Check out what the Borla website has to offer. http://www.borla.com/applications/lo...Section/11743/
As you can see they look and are built completly different. I choose the TRD Sparks because it was cheaper, and the muffler was inline.

I heard that TRD exhaust was made by Borla. Maybe TRD just uses a Borla muffler... Not that sure..

 

It is definitely a nice exhaust for those not looking to gain too much unnecessary attention. I have had this exhaust from day one (dealer add on) and have love it. The only thing I would change is the mid-pipe. I am currently looking into the Megan mid to create more of a deeper tone. Not louder, but just a touch deeper.

 

adding the midpipe wil be louder a little deeper but your deleting the cat and getting a smaller resanator then stock..i have megans midpipe its nice but makes the car louder little rasp also
