hey does anyone else have the TRD axleback exhaust with injen CAI? Im getting both, and I was wondering how it sounds. I have heard and know that the TRD doesnt sound too much louder over the stock and all, but will it sound noticeable ("not stock") when i have both that and the injen CAI? comments and vids welcome. thanks!

 

I have the TRD axle back with the stock airbox on mine and I love the way it sounds. Yes, I know I have an xB but it's the same engine.
The TRD axleback has a nice tone to it, NOT RICEY AND ANNOYING but hey, I got the axleback for $150 and besides at my age of 33, I don't need a LOUD exhaust like some of the teenie boppers and twenty-somethings on here...

 

haha true, thanks for the input. so its noticeable? i just wanted something that is louder than stock, but not too loud. i want it to be noticeable that it isnt stock, but at the same time i dont want a really loud ricey tone. i think the injen CAI will also make everything sound a little better too.

 

the TRD is a good sounding exhaust, you can check out a clip that i took of mine here:

(had only my AEM CAI when i took that)
it's deep enough to sound a bit more sophisticated than cheap ricer fart cans...

 

was your piping all stock and all too? just the TRD axleback with the AEM CAI? sounds pretty nice

 

yup, that was all with stock dealer stuff on, no other aftermarket mods during that recording.

i put on a strup header and agency power pulley this past week and now it sounds even more aggressive and you can hear it breathe a bit better.

you will get a good tone with the TRD, but the power won't be very noticeable...

 

My TRD is noticeably louder than stock, w/o being silly loud or ricey- just gives the box a little bit of attitude.

Adding a CAI won't change the exhaust note, but will allow more intake noise...

 

i was under the impression that a intake gives the exhaust a throaty-er sound.

 

evosky - can you put up an updated clip since you now have a strup header? thanks
