Default Exhaust review-AFE Takeda axle back

Hey all!

I finally got around to buying an axle back exhaust for the xB. I found the AFE Takeda axle back exhaust on clearance via ebay for a $180 or best offer price. So, for schits and giggles, I floated a $130 shipped offer, which they accepted

As some of you may know, these exhaust have listed and sold for between $350 and $400 since they came out, which I though was absolutely silly for two pieces of exhaust pipe and a tip.
Yup, this system deletes the rear muffler, which I was afraid was going to sound like ****, but hey, for $130 shipped Id take the chance.

Had it installed today and wow, why does Scion even have a rear muffler on these things? With this muffler delete pipe, you still can't even hear the exhaust at idle,
and you only hear a nice low volume growl when you give it the boot. I mean, you can redline the motor with this rear pipe and still talk normally 2 feet behind the car.

So yes, it's definitely worth the money if you pick it up below $250, which most places are currently selling it for....

I like the center exit aspect of it as well....

Forgot to mention...this also removes about 10 lbs from the rear of the vehicle...amazingly enough the rear muffler didnt weigh all that much...
