Exhaust and sway bar

I am sure there is a thread somewhere on here about tundra exhaust options. I couldn’t find it. Can anyone post a link to it?

Also what are the pluses and minuses to the sway bar?

 

There is a lot of information on exhaust in the Performance and Tuning section at the top including sound clips...

I have the sway bar and like how it helps control sway in lane to lane maneuvers on the highway and exit ramps. It does reflect some of the bumps, though, so the ride is a little bumpier. When towing my trailers, it helps with sway.

 

Well you didn't say. Are you wanting to buy or sell?? I am looking for a rear sway bar if you have one for sale...

 

Main purpose of the rear sway bar is to reduce understeer (front wheels pushing towards the outside of your turn) and it keeps the truck flatter, basically it handles a little better on the highway. The flip side is limited axle movement when/if you are doing serious off-roading.

Exhaust systems......most of them just add noise and worst, interior resonance at highway speed. Even the OEM TRD duals will do that as I found out when taking a test drive. I prefer the quiet stock system on my Tundra but that is my personnel choice,

 

I have both and love both. The trd sway bar definitely helps on sharper turns, especially in the mountains, and minimizes body roll. I love the sound of the trd dual exhaust.

 

And you can install both on your own. Fo' free.

 

The TRD rear sway bar is a must have as long as you are not a serious off road enthusiast...I love mine!

 

I do have the sway bar, I didn't want the TRD exhaust.

 

I have both. Sway bar is a good bang for the buck mod which definitely helps reduce body roll. I really like my TRD dual exhaust. It provides a nice V8 tone when you want it but is not overly loud. I’ve had mine on for about 5k so it is broken in and I haven’t experienced any drone or it just doesn’t bother me. Stock was a little too quiet for my taste. BA Muffler is also a popular choice.

 

I also think the sway bar is a good investment. I noticed an improvement in handling after installing mine.

I still have the quiet oem exhaust, but if I go with one it will be TRD or the 8” BAMuffler w/resonator.

 

I have both and like both....and the TRD exhaust is starting to sound better with a few more miles on the truck.

 

I don't have the rear sway bar and the car handles very good. maybe I am used to my Tacoma and compare to it, the Tundra handles much much better! I need to drive one with sway bar and see the difference. I may get it when I start towing more seriously.
my car also came with factory TRD dual exhaust and it was the only car on the lot that had everything I wanted except I didn't want the dual exhaust due to "perceived" noise ... but I have to say that it has grown on me and I really like it now. I told the dealer to replace it with another single muffler car on the lot and they can have it and I am not going to pay ... they instead deducted the price ($1100?). I am now glad they didn't swap it for me ...

 

If the TRD exhaust made any significant difference in performance I might go for it, but it doesn't.

As for the rear sway bar, I'm still thinking about it. The truck does have some lean, buy I don't want to increase road harshness either, which an aggressive sway bar will do.

I was kicking around the idea of putting the blower on it, but the Tundra doesn't lack for power, so now I'm thinking King OEM with adjusters and a new UCA. Maybe some back-up air bags for heavy loads and towing too.
