    Just bought a 2012 Toyota Tundra TRD-Offroad. Does this truck come stock with the TRD exhaust??? If so how do I tell? I get the feeling that it doesn't, but I want to make sure and I cant find any tags on muffler and manual does not help. Thanks

    If it has a TRD exhaust, it will have dual exhaust that exits on both sides right behind the rear tires. The tips will also have TRD on them. And no not all TRD's come with the TRD exhaust. More don't then do.

    Your truck will also sound pretty bad ass compared to stock exhaust which is just ass.

    No. If you have a Pro it comes with it. I added my TRD dual exhaust and have no regrets.
    @jberry813 went for a ride in it and commented on how he liked it too.

    Well that answers my question, Thanks fellas. That brings up my next question. Is there a different type of exhaust out there that is comparable to the TRD exhaust? Without the TRD exhaust Price tag???

    I went with a Flowmaster Super 50 series with dual inlets/dual outlets.

    Has a nice rumble to it at idle and roars when you hit it.

    Best part is the drone is not any worse than with my stock system.

    Korncobb, MBRP looks identical to TRD exhaust, ( dual mufflers, dual tailpipes) except you can run it straight out the back of the truck instead of behind the rear wheels if you so desire, made from same materials ( stainless steel) and about $400-$500 cheaper! Check them out b4 you buy an exhaust! I love mine.

    Both @Relentless and I have the MBRP cat back that dumps right after the muffler. If you like the clean look with no exposed exhaust tips, I highly suggest looking into it. And it's only $300 on Amazon prime.

    Truth be told, I loved the MBRP before the supercharger. After adding the s/c it's honestly a little loud at low RPM.
    I've ridden in a couple trucks that had the TRD, one with the s/c and one without. With the s/c, IMO it's a perfect tone. Without, it's a bit dull and under rated. Opinions are like assholes, so take it as a grain of salt.

    I have the TRD exhaust on my 2014 Platinum. Totally worth it. Fit, finish, quality and sound quality is perfect.

    I really like the TRD exhaust on my 2016 DC. I did get a great deal on it though.

    The TRD is not throaty enough for me. I like some more deep rumble.

    Leveled, wheels and tires, Line X on the grille surround and bulge, Line X in the bed, Retrax rolling Tonneau cover, Flowmaster Outlaw cat back exhaust.
    Gents I’ve had the Flowmaster Outlaw cat back system on my truck for a bit now and love it. Just something else to research if you want a real roar. The drone to me is bearable. I just turn up the radio a notch....

    here’s a link from Flowmaster and You tube. Not my truck in the video.

    Curse you Perry the Platypus!
    I thought the TRD exhaust was reasonably priced compared to other cat-back systems AND for what you get. No regrets buying it.

    I highly recommend the Borla. TRD has a drone and the Borla doesn’t. Also Borla is made with T-304 stainless steel and TRD is not. Borla has a million mile warranty and with superior stainless it’s corrosion resistance is better.

    more than I can list here
    Give Keith Carty of Dirty Deeds Industries a call at 760-877-4234. He will be able to custom design an exhaust system for you.

    We use all 304 Stainless Steel, have no drone, are much much more affordable than the rest, and have a full lifetime warranty. You go over a rock that dents the system, ship it back and we will ship a new one to you. Maybe your truck is too loud for the new baby you just had, ship back the exhaust and we will ship you a new one.

    Most recommended system on any forum, best product out there, best customer service around, absolutely best warranty, zero drone, fully customizable systems, most affordable. Need I say more!!!
