ive looked everywhere for this info! i know one of you can help!!!!!


thanks

i was under the impression that the trd was a rebadged borla axleback.

they are both very similar exhaust. I would recommend borla however because it is engineered a bit better for performance. you will see better numbers

I have TRD and have never personally never heard borla on a tC in person, but the TRD sounds nice but its just not that loud. Also if you plan to get headers as I have now, the TRD sucks. So you would either have to deal with horrid rasp or sell it as i am now. I vote Borla

The rasp is gonna come on ANY exhaust system. Not just TRD. Compensate with any of these setups....


30 inch resonator
22 inch resonator + High flo cat
two 14 inch resonators


any of those you are guaranteed to get rid of rasp

trd is borla. borla manufactures the exhaust, trd slaps their name on it.

this is true but I was under the impression that rasp is the worst with the TRD and is the hardest to get rid of

so thus pay less and forget the TuRD emblem

make me an offer and i'll sell you my TRD, since i might go silent.

trd's blow and borla's are to quiet....

actually no the canister exhausts usually provide the most.

everyone says there the same but there not, there close. If you look from behind the car you can clearly see the trd muffler its where as the borla is tucked up under the car. I have the borla and love it..its not loud but i wasnt looking for something loud for my 4 banger just a nice lil growl and thats what the borla does. Plus turning 3k+ at highway speeds i didnt want any interior noise to drive me crazy on the daily commute.

call me crazy but rasp doesnt bother me

YOU! are. CRAZY!

TRD exhaust is not made by Borla. It clearly has "WALKER" carved into the rear of the canister.

I agree its made by them but its not the exact same, they are configured differantly. From what i can tell its how they mount..the Borla tucks up under the car so its not visable from the rear unlike the trd.

Here are some pics to show what im talkin about..the 1st is a member from the forum his post is a little farther down...the second two are of mine when i installed it.

dude its obviously not the same exact system.

borla manufactures the TRD exhaust

they both suck lol

^ yeah pretty much.

TRD sounds like ish
Borla is a million dollars, and sounds almost exactly like TRD
