TRD Exhaust - Just Right for me

01/03/2020 I picked up a TRD exhaust system at St Charles Toyota in IL for $1055 today and had it installed at a muffler shop for $160. It took the installers about 2 hours, I'm so glad I passed the buck on this job.

Now let's talk about the sound of this system. It's not obnoxious and it's not sublime It's just right for my liking. There's bark when you stomp on the peddle but no drone while driving.

 

I have the TRD duals and the TRD intake, they were a bit pricey but It makes me smile everytime I decide to enjoy the wonderful sounds of the 5.7!
80k miles on the '18 and it never gets old.

 

Sure looks close to the swaybar on the driver's side. I'm thinking of the same project if I can find a used set

 

Driver side appears to be lower than passenger and hitting the sway bar.

 

Can't believe how much the drivers side has fallen. Mine are both like the right side. It's weird because usually it's the other way around, the hangers on the passenger side droop from being used and the new one's on the driver side are good and tight.

 

This looks more like installer error.

 

I did both the TRD Exhaust and CAI last year. Very pleased with both, although I'm going to be removing the CAI soon in preparation for a Magnuson Supercharger install which comes with it's own intake.

 

That's what I'm thinking - whether it's the wrong hangers or wrong placement, something is up.

 

Probably why it took them 2 hours to install a bolt on system lol. They tried to improvise on something.

 

It appears the pics were taken while job was in progress, the bolts at the muffler/tailpipes still didnt have nuts on them.

 

Yep it's just laying there waiting to be hung on the mount

 

That was one of the first things I did to my Tundra shortly after buying it. Good exhaust and I am happy with it. took me about two hours to install in my driveway. That was start to finish including putting tools away and getting the cardboard into the bins.

 

Nice! I still love my TRD exhaust after two years installed.

 

It's not finished yet. Thats why it looks low because the left side is not hung in the mount
