    Working on it... Total noob.
    Hey guys,

    New member here, been stalking for awhile, as I've wanted a Tundra for a good long while.
    - My father-in-law upgraded to a 1794, and I bought the 2007 Tundra from him.
    - It's in good condition, and I got it for a good deal (obviously. ;))

    Been reading a lot about two things that I have the most interest in;

    1. Lifting the truck.
    - Thinking like 3", it's just 2WD.
    2. Changing out the Exhaust.
    - I have listened to the clips of the TRD Dual exhaust, which sounds awesome... Is this possible? The idea of just a muffler seems like not so good... but I'm open to any suggestions

    I've looked through the forum, tried searching a good bit but couldn't find any great resources that helped me pull the trigger.

    Would anyone be able to help me out?
    - I will work on getting some pics of it!

    Edit -> Thanks so much for the warm welcome, boys!

    Not sure if this pic link will work... let’s see; [​IMG]

    Thanks a lot guys!

    Welcome!
    :worthless:

    Regarding lift look into bilstein, Toytec, Icon, Fox, king, ADS. Can’t lose with any of those. Buy whatever your wallet can afford.

    Exhaust I would stick with either TRD or @dirtydeeds exhausts. Can’t go wrong with either.

    Welcome from Obx, can't go wrong with Toytec. As for exhaust, do you have the 5.7 or 4.7. I spoke with Keith @dirtydeeds , and with the 4.7 it's better to stay with single pipe out. Yes I have the 4.7 and regret it to this day. Not that anything's wrong, just wished I got the 5.7. I went with Spintec Mufflers out of Cali. Very pleased with sound, and little drone. Next Tundra will have a DirtyDeeds Dual on fo sho. Good luck
