    Hello,

    Just picked this up about 4hrs ago. 2018 SR5 with 53k miles. It’s got a cold air intake on it and judging by the exhaust, that’s been modified also but not sure how extensively. The muffler says Toyota on it. Looks like it’s had the two rear cats deleted and I’m going to assume the resonator behind the muffler. Can y’all confirm that? The exhaust is super quiet inside and I’ll probably scrap it but wanted to check before I start going down rabbit holes. Thank you.

    @dirtydeeds is our exhaust guy. His systems are awesome. Yes, that exhaust has definitely been hacked on.

    That’s what I thought. For the moment I think I’m gonna slap on a spare Borla xr1 I’ve got rolling around. Come tax time I’m doing long tubes and full exhaust on it. Thanks everyone. This truck already has several things done to it and I’ll get a build thread posted soon.

    Such a good looking blue you got there :thumbsup:

    Looks like it has aftermarket front and rear bumpers. Any pics showing those?

    Beautiful color. How much did that set you back if you don't mind me asking? I am looking for something very similar out here in Arizona. Nice catch on that!

    Welcome to the forum.
    Looks nice.
    One thing is for sure, they debadged it for ya...:D

    That looks a lot like a stock muffler.
    The tail pipe not so much.

    I think @Saltyhero13 is on to something.
    Either someone stole the rear cats or the owner just removed them.
    The front cats do all the work, the rears not so much.

    What a stock muffler and tailpipe look like.

    Curious about the rear;
    Does it look like this (muffler to tailpipe clamp) and does the tailpipe stick straight out the back?

    Muffler is for sure stock. Clamp is the same. But it looks like it’s been chopped and welded on the part after the rear axle.


    They are aftermarket and beefy. I’ll get pics put up in my build thread once I start it.

    ~$38k. Cheap considering the low miles. Normally they go for the low $40’s which is why I jumped on this one.

    X-pipe and borla pro xs muffler ordered. The XR1 muffler I had was a 3.5" which might be kind goofy on a stock setup.

    more than I can list here
    If you install the borla on a truck with stock manifolds using a dual configuration you’ll lose low end torque and the truck will stop using 6th gear. If you install it without cats behind long tubes, it’ll be really raspy and weird sounding. If you have any questions or need any help with your exhaust build please give a call. 760-877-4234

    It's a dual in single out just like the factory using the factory size piping. When I do long tubes, it'll be a complete new header back system that gets installed.
