Default question on TRD axle back DIY

i searched for this, so i apologize in advance if i missed it.

Im assuming that this is way easy to install...few bolts, few hangars right? there isnt anything too complicated with this is there? the reason i ask is because i saw a pic of an exhaust (not sure which one) on a TC that had an extra hanger welded on..

thanks for the help.

just two 14mm bolts and three rubber hangers. :D Use some WD40 to grease up the rubber hangers for easy removal.

It sounds awesome, of course I'm a little biased.

Let's just say that it would take longer to take pics for a DIY than the install itself.

if the WD40 doesn't work you can use some dishwashing soap. works great IMO. slips off very easily. kinda messy though... just letting you know

Thats exactly why i was searching for TRD Sound clips. Thank you by the way for the links. The cops just hate modified exhausts!!!! (i live out in california).

Story time: One time, a cop saw me when i was just picking my sister up from school..i noticed that he glanced at me...a few seconds later, i see the bastard speeding towards me in my rear view! lucily, i was right at my house. i pulled into the drive way, opened the garage and as i was getting out of my car...he rolled by hella slow lookin at me!! SUCKAS!! and i live on a small side street...so he had no reason to go there other than to follow me!

It's not loud at all. Just enough to give it that "performance" tone. You'll thank yourself later when you're at cruising speed on the highway.
