    Hello all!

    Recently had my cats stolen on my 2018 4.6L crewmax and wanted to see what are some good exhaust systems I could look into getting. Not looking for anything too loud but I also want better flow if possible. If there is another thread about this please link. Thanks for yalls help!

    @dirtydeeds has various sound level options and the exhaust actually gains a bit of HP and Torque. I think it is the best exhaust for the Tundra.

    Just installed the 10” system from Dirty Deeds this past weekend. I spent hours researching different exhaust systems and this brand kept popping up. The owner, Keith, is said to be super helpful tundra enthusiast.

    I've had my dirty deeds 6" exhaust installed for a couple years now and I Love it. Definitely recommend. Quick DIY install and they have videos to help.

    I have the 4.6L and the 8” dirty deeds, it sounds great, nice and deep, no rasp when flooring it to 6000 rpm. I had him weld the resonator to the muffler assembly and I can easily spin the rear tires. I definitely have more power to the wheels.

    Everyone will say DD is the way to go. I have no experience with DD, so I will not deny that.

    I have, however, drove my (ex) bro inlaw's 2016 with a Borla system. I felt no power
    difference + or - compared to my 2013, but OMG it was like listening to a symphony orchestra
    playing AC/DC's "For those about to Rock"!

    I personally, would only buy Borla. And its not stupid loud.

    There's only one custom built, custom designed exhaust system for our Tundras. Keith from BA Exhaust (Dirty Deeds) will answer any and all questions you have and custom build your exhaust to your specs. If you don't like the sound and want it quieter, pay shipping and he builds you another one. NO other exhaust vendor offers that option. Your wasting your time with most 'off the shelf' systems and their low- end grunt robbing 3 inch pipe. He'll explain why you need to keep the stock sizes pipe. Dronemaster, Magnadrone and Corsa all use oversized pipe in their systems, great for pushrod engines but our's aint pushrod engines!

    I like the sound of the factory TRD dual exhaust, I've had it a few times. I recently rode in a friends Tundra who had the Borla internal H pipe exhaust, dual rear side exit, and it looks and sounds amazing. I would have gotten that. I have heard the BA exhaust too a few times, that doesn't sound to bad either I guess, but definately below those two choice sound wise.
