    ^^^ This. Keith installed one on my gen 2 two years ago, very happy with it. I mostly use for towing my boat to the river.

    I really want an exhaust too. Im leaning toward the trd exhaust but Ive never heard it. Looking for a more aggressive sound than the stock system. Too many to choose from lol. Just wondering is the trd exhaust sound as aggressive as these other aftermarket exhausts?

    I would love to drive one with the trd exhaust. I like a hint of rumble, but dont want to be drowned out be the exhaust at highway speeds. This video kinda showcases that loudness, however its hard to really make an informed decision on sounds by using youtube.

    Which impacts are those? That a high torque on the right? I’m trying to decide on a high torque or mid torque.

    I was doing the same a few months ago. Came down to being able to get the high torque model for only $30 more, so might as well. It’s a beast and the battery life is awesome. Heavy, so can be awkward to use in some spaces. I think the extra torque came in handy for pressing out old bushings and ball joints with a big C clamp.

    Yes, the right one is high torque. It's big and heavy. If you only want to get one I would recommend the mid torque. It's compact and light so you will end up using it more. BUT if you do a lot of work yourself you might be able to justify getting both. The mid torque should be able to handle most of what you want to do but it's nice to have a backup.

    dont forget to make a good video of the installation and hopefully capture some sounds of it at low speeds like neighborhood driving and at highway speeds. i really need to find one locally to actually hear it in person. :)

    Check out the sound of the Magnaflow and how the Tundra handles twisty roads. City and freeway driving sound clips coming...

    Got the TRD installed today. It definitely sounds better than the Magnaflow. I didn't notice any drone. It's louder than the Magnaflow during idle but quiet at cruising speed. It makes awesome sound when I punched it. I'll have a sound clip video up tomorrow. :thumbsup:
    Here is the How-To video.
