FLO MASTER HD 2 SERIES

If you're looking for a quiet, yet powerful sounding muffler for this or a similar truck, you won't be disappointed by the Flowmaster 50 Series SUV. A buddy of mine has a 40 Series on his Tacoma (identical to mine), and I consider that to be loud and annoying. Even under wide open throttle, I would not consider this exhaust to be loud or annyoing and there is no resonance in the cab of the truck whatsoever. Engaging the clutch and shifting through the gears is maybe 15-20% louder than stock (if that), and what you do hear, all the way up to redline is a good, relatively deep, solid tone and not loud, raspy, high-pitched noise pollution that is common to so many other exhausts on smaller displacement engines, especially Japanese V-6s (I generally consider anything smaller than 300 cubic inches to be small).

This is a low rumble that is pleasing even to me. Now, I'm a huge fan of American V-8s and their exhaust notes, and not a fan at all of loud rice-racer exhausts (unless we're talking sportbikes). When you start it up, you hear a nice, low rumble and then it's barely louder than stock when the rpms settle down to idle. I expected them to mount it kind of sideways (the whole purpose of getting an offset out), but they put it in level and it works great anyway with the stock tail pipe location. I ordered a 50 Series SUV (part # 52457), which is greater in length and width (and therefore volume) than the standard 50 Series and labor cost was $55 at a local muffler shop to have the stock muffler cut out and the new one welded in, retaining all the stock 2.25' pipes. This muffler is on a 2003 Toyota Tacoma TRD 4x4 3.4 (5VZFE) V-6 5 spd.
