TRD Exhaust

My friend paid $750

 

So on the other forum, there were a few people talking about this design and how the additional pipe is there to reduce drone in the cruising range of 1,500-2,000 rpms. Pretty interesting.

 

Would be cool to retrofit a 350z stock exhaust. Would sound REALLY GOOD!

 

On the new tacomas they have the stock exhaust set up just like this. People who wheel hard end up smashing up the piping going up to the exhaust tip.

Just something to think about.

 

side exhaust was one of my main reasons for buying. I can punch it now with back window down and not worry about exhaust in the cabin. Back window weather permitting is down 100%

 

Dunno but the 1st day of driving it smelled from burning out the oil or whatever from manufacturing. Next day, window down, punch it and no fumes

 

can you post a sound clip please thanks

 

I don't have video cameras except home security and its sound is washed out

So I just got back from an hour cruise. We all know the runner is not a race car.
Driving (my) normal conservative throttle, this TRD exhaust gives a good mellow sound, without drone, without the obnoxious raspy sounds that others have.
When I punch it, not over bearing or obnoxious. I have the sprint booster set at red 5 and have not tried it at the stock setting yet so not sure if that makes a difference.

 

Prices are dropping

 

So it's been over a month, any feedback on the trd intake/exhaust ?
I've had exhaust about a week after yours and intake for a week now. Really liking the outcome so far

 

how do you like yours? Im installing the intake tomorrow. Prob wait until spring for exhaust

 

I like it. Not loud unless you want it to be. Floor it and it's like a beast comes alive.
I drive conservatively so for me it's the little rumble I'm liking. I came from 150s and they pipe fake engine noise through the stereo to make you think the v6 sounds good. Nothing that I've seen or heard to date makes any 6 cylinder sound good. The trd is a compromise as imo, does not sound like total crap as others I've heard. Gibson and magnaflow on a runner.
I was curious how the op liked it

 

My friend really likes the setup. I do, too, I think it sounds pretty nice, and I notice a lot less drone in his cab compared to the URD exhaust on mine. I think you described it pretty well when you say the TRD intake\exhaust setup isn't loud unless you want it to be, and it's a smooth tuned sound

 

Skipped the Trd and got a borla touring from Wheelwell got a great deal 418. Shipped
Very quiet but nice tone on the gas no drone at all
But I wish I got the s type

Nice
i am still waiting to see and hear one in person for my self to see witch one to get in SoCali. went to the dealer even and they did not have 2020 Trd one on the lot

 

It's about back pressure.

Backpressure refers to pressure opposed to the desired flow of gases in confined places such as a pipe. It is caused by the resistance provided by obstructions or tight bends in a confined space such as an exhaust system.

Reducing exhaust backpressure can improve fuel economy and performance. Reducing restrictions in the exhaust system allows the exhaust to flow more easily so the engine can breathe more efficiently. The most common modification is to replace the stock muffler with a low restriction aftermarket performance muffler, or to replace the entire stock exhaust system from the catalytic converter back with a free-flowing aftermarket performance exhaust.

That said, back pressure is also important. When the engine is engineered, a certain level of back pressure is calculated, and the engine is designed accordingly. Back pressure allows heat retention, and to remove it completely would result in a change to the engine thermodynamics that could result in warping, cracking, and other nasty things over time.

So, reducing back pressure a little helps performance, but you don't want to reduce it too much.

 

Not sure if this kid is righthttps://youtu.be/jjPeP_Nn2B4

 

Good video, yes, he is right, but the title is misleading. Back pressure is bad yes, but the exhaust system, which is the main cause of the backpressure is very necessary for the proper evacuation of exhaust gases at the proper velocity, and the healthy operation of the ICE.

 

He states multiple times in the video that low back pressure is better, just as the title states. He also explains why

 

Just wondering what people are doing with their old exhaust ?

 

I see this part as low as 615.00 New on line, It’s Tempting.

 

Hey Guys- Just getting into the Toyota world with a 2019 TRD Off Road. Confused why I can't buy this exhaust from a dealer. Have others installed this on other years? Thanks for any tips.

 

Since its Trd Pro exhaust some of the dealer do not wanted to sell it to none Trd Pro from what I have gathered only west coast is like that.
but lucky for us there are people that don't like it and will sell it so look on the market place

 

Our dealership would not sell pro parts if you don't own a pro.
The answer: get a vin number off of one for sale online. Then order the parts with that vin number online.
Beat them @ their own game!
Good luck.

 

On my 19 I ordered online at parts.toyota.com. they had a sale at the time and I picked it up local at my dealer...not all dealers participate

 

True statement I ordered a pro roof rack and almost every dealer balked
ordered from Toyota parts online no problem but my exhaust is a borla touring and I love it quality piece

How long is the muffler, and did you go cat back?

 

It sits a little higher then stock but I love it the touring has an exhaust tip and yes it was catback

Just picked up trd exhaust. Will post pics after install.
