everyone has shadows in the sun, :D A nice precisionmuffler.com axle back is always a nice way to go as well. Priced to go and shipping is not a problem.



I know that a 2HP gain is not a lot, but the looks and feel of 2HP is still more than nothing.

my $.02

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
its identical to precision but cheaper in price. i'd have to see quality first tho i suppose. i'm a poor guy so if the quality is there i'm down for cheap. i sold dzcustom a nice universal muffler he had installed and for 100 he has a lovely deep low pretty quiet exhaust it's basically just an axle back , he like it , and it has a tip that is soo far from the norm , it's awesome looking.

Its $200 INSTALLED, tax included, and stainless. Two peeps are running them, and will give me their honest opinion when I see them in a week.

I like the looks of the TRD Sport exhaust but am wondering what is this I have been reading about melting the bumper? Also which muffler has the best low sound? I am looking more for a rumble than a whine.

well the melting bumper is a result or ____ty mounting , basically the muffler moves from side to side so it can hit one or the other side of the bumper thus melting it. a low sound depends on muffler , piping size and whether or not it has a silencer in it at the time.

For a low rumble I would recomend the auto axle back from Precisionmuffler.com. The low rumble is perfect and you never have to worry about melting bumpers with it either. :D

Melted bumpers are the result of improperly placed hangers and of the exhaust joint gasket being worn out and not replaced.
