    Depends on what you're looking for in an exhaust. I'm a Borla fan. I like the deep throaty sound.

    My understanding is anything downstream of the headers is fine, but best to check with your dealership. I believe TRD exhausts are made by Borla anyhow, so TRD my be the safe route.

    That's what I'm kinda thinking .I just worry about the reports of the TRD system robbing low end torque. Some say they don't notice but with my setup I don't want to lose any torque .

    Not at all. Process of elimination really. I hate the new Chevy's and feel they are underpowered .Dodge was out bc my wife hates them (she drives a 4runner and loves it). I like the F150 but was super nervous about the reliability of the ecoboost.
    I looked at both and the looks, know excellent reliability, and my past good experience with Toyota (in addition to my wife loving it) sealed the deal. I'm very happy with my purchase. My only small gripe is MPG but honestly after lifting and putting bigger tires on a F150 with a 5.0 liter V8 we would be looking at not much of a difference in gas mileage anyway. Plus over all the looks are better on the tundra than any other truck I think.
