hey guys, so i currently have the trd muffler. i was thinking of doing straight pipes to it from the cat back but have a feeling it would b too loud... so my question is should i buy a mid pipe for it? or mayb an s pipe? which one would be more beneficial while keeping the sound of the trd muffler or mayb even making it deeper. trying to avoid rasp at all costs. does anyone have any clips of trd muffler + ...... i dont have a header or cai. Last but not least it has to retain the, as i like to call em, "blops" u get when u let off gas. fireballs are a plus :P

Anything you add will not keep the same sound OR improve it. Leave it as is or you're lose the sound completely.

I would leave it alone. If your planning on staying N/A dont touch it. Your not gonna gain much in power. Your brain will tell you you have but your not gonna really feel the 1-2whp gain.

Yeah what ack said, if you change the piping to the TRD axelback you will completely change the sound. You can get a cold air intake which will will enhance the sound a little.

and then there was this.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI5xDisMse4
just found it sounds sick as f

That's my buddy Ray's old tC. Man, I miss it. =[ It was nice and clean.

I wouldn't suggest ANY headers with the TRD. It'll just cause it to be very raspy. Rays' tC was a bit raspy with the mid already. Just get a CAI, if you don't want to change the sound too drastically. The CAI will just make it a bit louder. I loved the combo I had - Fujita CAI + TRD Exhaust.

don't worry definitely wasn't thinking of doing headers. im really liking the sound of this megan s+ mid pipe combo though

whoa!! that does sound sick as f

Yeah that sounds nice, might have to invest in that Megan Mid pipe myself, gets a nice growl to it.

i like the way it sounds, you'll be fine with a CAI, s-pipe, and midpipe as well.

yeah i think this is the way im going to go sounds amazing. its got a subaruesq sound to it. man why cant our cars sound like srt-4's lol

Because your not turbo.

anything done to the turd exhaust will sound crappy

I'm running the TRD exhaust with a custom 2.5" header back system + a TRD SC, however in order to keep the TRD exhaust from sounding like crap, I have a 40" resonator, its heavy as hell, but I get the sound I want.

Oh...and a DME header....

do you have a sound clip of it?

do you have a sound clip of it?

My car is down right now, rebuilding my SC, should be ready to go by next weekend, so remind again by the end of next week and I'll get a sound clip up for you.

Head in to muffler shop and get a 2.5" midpipe put in instead of the stock one and have them change to like a 32"magnaflow resonator and you will get a nice sound.

yeah im thinking bout doing that, going to head down to one and see how much theyll charge

yeah im thinking bout doing that, going to head down to one and see how much theyll charge

I have whatever 18+12+2-2

I have 40-42" resonator and it sounds like ___.
Not a TRD...

a snail maybe.

injen ram sounds pretty tasty with the TRD exhaust. My girl has it on her ride.

do you have a sound clip of it?

Here you go:

Its kinda short, did in a hurry, I'll make a few more this week, its not the best quality as I did it with my phone, sorry. Also this video does not do it justice, it sounds so much better in person, I'm sure if I was using a good camera it would sound better.

thats one nice sounds tc

thats one nice sounds tc

Thank you.

I had the TRD with the megan midpipe and spipe. I did like it but i switched to the HKS and love it. Too me the TRD was too quiet by its self.

do yourself a favor, sell the trd, buy a megan mid-pipe and tanabe concept G. Im no expert, but i went through 7 different exhausts with combos of header, s-pipe, and mid-pipe even with a cut-out and this is by FAR, the best set-up there is!

well i dont have the money to spend on a new muffler and i got my trd for a rediculusly low price and like the stock look of it.

i was just saying, you could get enough selling the trd to pay for an hks or tanabe used!

Personally I have a custom 2.5 spipe and a megan midpipe with my TRD and it just sounds nasty as f___ (but in a good way). no rasp on accel, and just a tiny hint of it when engine is spinning down freely, makes it sound really rich between 4k and redline, listen to this vid
