New Exhaust System

I got fishing to do lol

 

Them fish ain't gon' catch themself!

 

Well thought I would add to the review, First I would like to say SPD was awesome to deal with and stood by there discount price as I too purchased before checking this form for the discount price. Onto review, I purchase full system down pipe and exhaust, it is a work of art and came packaged very well. Fitment was spot on and I did the whole install with my 10year son in the driveway. Another adult would have made things go easier but overall easy afternoon job.
I went from stock to this and oh boy this thing is rowdy!!!! the videos do no justice, to be honest this is not family friendly system. However it is amazing quiet at an idle speeds, but when you get on the gas it sounds like a high performance v8 muscle car. Performance wise, I still need to tune but I agree with Rey, it seems to be way more responsive and climbs rpms faster than before (opinion) sure spins the 37" easy. If your after high flow cats, added bung for AFR, equal length, x-pipe, dual dump after axle, high clearance and 304 SS, nothing else comes even close!!!
Side note, I can't hear the sweet sound of supercharger anymore!
I also can confirm this fits perfect on my 2011 tundra

 

Awesome! Time for a pulley so you can hear the blower again

 

Downpipes!!!

Amazingly well packed, they look amazing. What do I need to look at to see if they will bolt in or I need a shop?

Thanks Rey & SPD!

 

They bolt in easily didn’t take long to throw them in. 3 bolts per header I think can’t remember off hand. Then the o2s of course and 2 bolts per end to the cat back

 

Sorry, I meant if the pre '14 issue exists. (I have a '13)

 

Fingers crossed it bolts up for you.
<----2012

 

I was just under the truck spraying my downpipe bolts and O2 sensors with kroil in case I decide to do this job when the new ones come in next week. Not yet determined if I’m swapping them right away or waiting til I’m done towing for the season. I’d rather not have to mess with the tune again. That said, looking for tips for someone doing this job on their garage floor. Does the front drive shaft have to come out in order to finagle the drivers side downpipe out of there in one piece? Is there a better way? I was wondering if I put the rear tires up on ramps, if that would give more down swing play on the tail end to fish it out of there. I had read it was not recommended to use the impact on the header to downpipe bolts also, but rather to soak them up and use hand tools to avoid snapping them if possible…but I’ve snapped bolts just as often with hand tools so not sure it will matter.

 

Am I wrong thinking I need a shop?

 

No, not wrong, your driver's side cat-back connection looks like it is a different angle than the new pipes, so will need some cutting and welding.

 

Looks like Toyota kept the sequoia flange connections consistent with 07-09 tundras instead of changing it to the 2 straight flanges like 2010-2021 tundras.

 

Nothing like uniformity between models...just have to wait a little bit longer.

 

Saved me from sweating my ass off & I'll get the shop to do the radiator, 2.2 pulley & maybe the Viktor reservoir.

I'm all for saving $ on things I can do but once I go to the shop, I'll let them do everything I have

I also got a drive in the convertible in instead. lol

Especially having to do it in the heat of the day. Enjoy!

 

Super sweet SPD exhausts you all have! Nice to see a PNW company deliver to the Tundra. Nice job @reywcms !

 

Thanks! Glad it’s worked out and how it’s come along. The sound is exactly what I envisioned these sounding like.

 

When my JBA's rust out(first JBA run) I'll go ARH and SPD. Been 12yrs on same exhaust...

 

This thing is rowdy! Can confirm that y’all’s videos could not do it justice!

I have both the down pipes and cat-back, and what a work of art they are. I added a couple of hours to my install by sheering off 2 studs on the passenger side manifold. Even with a healthy spraying of Kroil, apparently my DeWalt DCF961 (1,750lb/ft of breakaway torque) was a bit too much for those studs. Oops!

 

Looks damn good!

 

Did you notice how much quicker it revs when blipping the gas? Wild lol

 

Just got back from a weekend wedding getaway that was a little over 2 hours away. The sound when passing people.... Lol my wife was freaked out and the folks we are passing probably hate me

 

Although I don't have spd...pass a convertible! They will truly hate you. Haha

 

There aren't many convertible drivers in these parts - probably cause this is truck country

 

True. Same here but the reaction is priceless haha

 

I really don't wanna come off like a Dodge/Ram guy but......

 

I had requested in the order notes that they put my wideband bung in the drivers side if possible since that is where mine is currently installed. The good dudes at SPD put a bung in both drivers and passengers side it looks like. Dual wideband in my future? These are looking good! Searching the part numbers, they appear to be magnaflow cats. Not sure if they are metal or ceramic cores. Have to research that.

Also, PSA I noticed quite a lot of metal shavings inside the pipes. It would behoove everyone to clean those out before installing at least on the cat inlet side. They can get stuck in the cats and cause hot spots and early failure I’ve been told.

 

After a five day camping trip came home to these bad boys! Gonna pop them in this weekend and see how she performs!

 

They are ceramic cores. I believe 400 cpsi. I had 400 cells for a a little back pressure.

 

I found em! Sorry to clog the exhaust thread lol
