Default Louder?

Im looking to get a louder exhaust than the magnaflow for my 2010 box... the magnaflow also taps my spring on every damn bump! i have heard the strp and trd on youtube, but cant really judge the level because i thought the magnaflow sounded good but i dont like it!

Any ideas? If you have a diff one please let me know which it is, and if you are pleased with it!
Thank You!

The best sounding exhaust I've heard on the XB is the CXR 3". However, it is very loud and has a lot of in-cabin resonance. The fitment is poor as well. Many people here seem to like the cheap 2.25" ebay exhaust. You could try that with different mufflers to get the sound you want.

For reference here is a clip of my custom 3-2.5" exhaust with a modded TRD axle-back:

I like your sound. The magnaflow has a 2.25 I think. I'm thinking about getting the TRD axle back and leaving the magnaflow pipe.

Thanks. I'm pretty sure the Magnaflow is 2.25" ID. If you do go with the TRD AB I suggest having the flange cut off and a new one welded on where it meets the mid-pipe. The TRD is necked down to only 1.8-2.0" where it meets the mid-pipe and tapers out to 2.5".

Of course all you really need is a different muffler and there are much cheaper options than the TRD AB. Unfortunately I can't recommend a muffler that will provide the sound you want. It's also worth noting that I am turbocharged and if I had a header instead, my exhaust would be louder. Good luck.
