i personally LOVE the sound of the TRD exhaust. It is very mellow, but deep. Not ricey AT ALL. there is a really ____ty vid of my car in the snow on scioncommunities.com that you can check out...

http://scioncommunities.com/sc/index...&vid_id=100015

...wasnt trying to be funny, more than less one of those things where my friend took the footage and made a really fruity vid.

anyways, you can def. hear the exhaust. sounds REALLY nice IMO. i cant wait to put on the high flow cat and see what hapens.

highway is not too bad at all

(considering i have removed all the sound deadening material):


...as for pics:





...some of them are old, but do the exhaust justice.
My only gripe is its a pain in the nuggets to keep the tip shiny without some metal polish (which i suppose is expected). Hope all of that helps.

nice and deep without enough groan to attract the 5-0.

exhaust retails for 399.99 at the dealer.

def. could find cheaper, and i could offer a discount to you, but you would most likely find it cheaper w/ shipping elsewhere. Hope i was able to help...

alright so here is what i found so far

tanabe-260
greddy sp2-260
trd-around 300 was the lowest which one is the best for the price

and also from what i found tanabe is only one that advertises in cabin noise to a minimum

I've got the Borla and it sounds pretty darn sweet. Just like the TRD in that it is not ricey and not noticeable on the highway. I think it is also a catback.
