Default TRD Muffler

If you have this do you like the exhaust sound? Do you have a clip of it online? Also, has anyone noticed if Sparks or McGeorge ever do free shipping on this item? I'm probably going to order from one of them since my dealer says they can't come close to their price.

Thanks in advance.

I don't have a sound clip, but I do like the hum that it makes when i'm driving. The idle is pretty aggressive sounding too. There are a few clips i've heard on the site try doing a search for them.

I have and I love the sound it make. Even at idle it sounds sweet. I get complements all the time. McGeorge does charge shipping.

Here are some great clip of the TRD exhaust:

It sounds really nice! It isn't obnoxiously loud, but it can be heard. It doesn't get unbearbly drony cruising the highways, and the tone is pretty deep. Also, it doesn't get high pitched in the upper ranges. Go for it!

Thanks for the clips! Now I'm just going to wait and see if I can catch it on a free shipping special, $70 bucks is a lot for shipping.

seems like http://www.scionpartspeople.com is the best place to get this exhaust? Is there truth to this? What is the install time on this if getting done at a shop?

From what I have read (haven't done it myself yet) it's not hard at all to install this...only a few bolts??
