Which Exhaust System is Best for the Toyota Tacoma!?

👋 In todays video I wanted to discuss the best exhaust system for the third generation Toyota Tacoma! I have had a total of five systems and some have been similar and others have been completely different! An exhaust system is of course a preference for how you want your vehicle to sound!
The stock exhaust system on the tacoma is fine but of course not my style. If that's what you like though, it's of course quiet and you can't really hear it!
For the aftermarket systems I've had, lets start with the AFE! This was virtually identical to the factory system in terms of placement and piping. I was able to get a black exhaust tip to match the rest of my truck, which is the main reason I bought that! It had a really good sound and fit fell on my truck for the time being!
After I ripped that exhaust off, I tried out the MBRP which was in a sense a high clearance system. This system was extremely short and honestly was loud and raspy. It was noticeably louder than any system I have had, but it was also the cheapest! So if you want something loud and you don't want to spend a lot, it's a good option for that.
Next up was the Magnaflow and this was their first high clearance system system that also had sound adjustments to it. I really liked this system and for the money, it was a good kit! My only complaint would be the sound differences weren't that noticeable, but you could tell it was quieter at highway speeds, but slightly.
Last up is the current system from AWE. The only true dual exhaust system and honestly my favorite so far! It has a great tone and is perfect for the driving I do with my Tacoma. It also has the ability to go from a high clearance, to installing the tailpipe and tips, so you can show off the tips during the week and keep them protected for the trails on the weekends!
What do you think is the best sounding exhaust for the Tacoma!?

Carven Exhaust all the way. Best sound I've heard on a Tacoma

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Never heard of that brand, I’m sure it’ll sound similar to other systems. They all do.

[@CarvenExhaust]

Thanks for the support!

[@HoldFastAndStoic]

@@CarvenExhaustare you planning on making a cat back exhaust for the 4.0 2nd gen Tacoma? Thanks in advance.

[@CarvenExhaust]

@@HoldFastAndStoic We are!

[@MF-qx9fn]

Im running a urd catless y pipe with a vibrant ultra quiet before the catback and for the muffler I have a vibrant oval 1102. It's the perfect loudness and growl without any rasp. Used to have a carven catback but that became extremely loud and droned a lot. Current set up is by far my favorite👌

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Thanks for sharing! They all for the most part will have a similar sound! Glad you enjoy that setup!

[@tieoneon1614]

The best sound u can get out of a Tacoma is the intake. Its fricking crazy. Its not annoying the general public either. Rough Country has them for $150 now, with a slip on filter bag if u are in dusty/wet conditions. I have a vid up of mine. Mpg went up over 2 mpg also, easily reversible if u want to change also

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

That and an exhaust. I’ve never seen an intake add to the mpg though, where did you get that info?

[@tieoneon1614]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed literally everyone who put one on, LOL. Mine jumped a lot too. Where didnt u hear they increase mpg?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@tieoneon1614 Mine didn’t, I’ve had 3 different intakes and it hasn’t helped ever with mpg. I’ve never seen anyone say it’s helped.

[@123devinzz1]

​@Bros FOURR Speed thats because it doesnt help mpg. it can only hurt mpg. up until wide open throttle your literally restricting the intake on purpose with the throttle body. with that rc intake your now taking in hot underhood air though. really the only time youl ever see a gain with an intake is at wide open throttle and on these trucks theyre minimal

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@123devinzz1 I know, like I said in the above comments, they don’t help with mpg at all. I never expected that or had that impression. It’s mainly for the sound.

[@Yetieti406]

I like the sound of the true dual. I'd keep the tips off all the time though. I like to be spontaneous with certain off road situations.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Right on! It was my favorite one too!

[@Doc1855]

The MBRP is aluminized steel, so it won’t last as long as 409 or 304 stainless steel. Most exhaust system companies have a lifetime warranty on their 409 or 304 stainless steel systems. 304 stainless steel is the best.

[@Doc1855]

I had a Flowmaster on my last pickup. I loved the sound and the performance. So on my 23 TRD Off Road, double cab 6’ bed I’m having a Flowmaster FlowFX dual exhaust system installed on my truck. It has a Deep Throaty sound and no drone in the cab at highway speeds

[@classicrocker81]

Love my Magnaflow axle dump on my Tacoma! I used to have a polished tip coming out the side like stock but I hated having to clean it so I did an axle dump with a black tip

[@garretthenson1594]

I have a 2016 I went with a flow master super hp2 muffler for 100$ sounds like a V8 at idle and has some rasp nothing crazy and if your just cruising it's quiet and when you get on it it can get louder if your in a garage the sound is so good and nobody is talking about it I have all stock pipes just changed the muffler was all look into it it's a great option if you want to be low key at times and stand out when you want to

[@likeketeanio6011]

Thank you for your video on which exhaust system is best for your Tacoma. I made a decision to go with the Magna Flow System and took advantage of the 20% discount over the holidays.

[@russ92x1]

I went with a Borla Pro XS 19" and like the sound..a little loud around town and when getting on it for passing and climbing hills/bridges. But at crusiing speed little to no drone.

[@masonmichaelbratcher7853]

Magnaflow paired with an S&B cold air intake is what I have and I don’t think I could get any better of a sound out of a Tacoma

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Glad you enjoy that setup!

[@vianad9285]

Trd exhaust is best sound for my liking.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

They honestly all sound about the same!

[@simeonrivera2644]

kind of an "exhausting" list tbh.. lol.. but for real super helpful bro. Good stuff!

[@rudyorta8998]

I ran Borla and Magnaflow paired with TRD SC, URD longtube headers, K&N intake... Both sounded great,...to anyone planning to have that setup ... If your SC you want a true through muffler , no baffles just fyi from blowing out a flowmaster system

[@georgeryan3534]

Mbrp on my 2010 4.0v6 sounds awesome

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Sweet!

[@jakefox3677]

Me over here with a 113$ eBay exhaust and a 20$ black tip I installed on it

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

If that works, great!

[@user-sp7rd3jq6w]

I would agree with the AWE, it does sound great. I do have some droning between 2000-2700 RPM. Are you experiencing this too?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I’ve never had or experienced any drone! My truck runs 3100 at 60 mph with the regear and no drone.

[@user-sp7rd3jq6w]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed This helps, regearing I must.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@user-sp7rd3jq6w I mean if you hear a drone at 2700, regearing isn’t going to help with drone.

[@user-sp7rd3jq6w]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed I agree, I think regearing and a good tune will. I also think a good tune will help without regearing. I just have not found a shop that could customize a tune with what I have in it.

My thoughts..... I just want my tacoma to get here, I'm tired of waiting lol

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Lol, you getting a 4th gen?

[@Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan2219]

It's up to you to decide which one it is bro.

[@daviddecker8421]

Any catback exhaust on a 3.5 l just doesn't sound like it's worth it has anybody heard of a full kit with a bigger cat or free flowing cat. I just bought a used '01 it has a cold air intake and an aftermarket catback which makes no sense it can take in more air but can't get rid of it any quicker because of the factory cat.

[@billlaughlinjr5460]

So far I have the stock exhaust 4cyl so I’m looking for the best sounding exhaust

[@KTown_Painter]

Which exhaust would provide best performance with the LEAST sound

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

They will really all provide a similar performance. I wouldn't say one is better than the other. But the least amount of sound...the Borla, TRD, Magnaflow (with the quiet pipe installed) are all similar. The AWE is about the same as well, a bit louder but in a deeper tone.

[@KTown_Painter]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed thanks!

[@jk-mm5to]

Stock.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Why!?

[@edfig]

​@@BrosFOURRSpeed I'll try to answer for him. Maybe because of the low sound. You don't have to think about it.

[@mustangecoboosthpp3869]

Borla hands down, Borla uses 304 stainless steel while almost all other use substandard 400 series stainless steel. 304 stainless steel outperforms 400 series stainless steel in every way. 304 stainless steel costs more but is worth the extra cost from the benefits 3004 stainless steel provides. Also Borla is an excellent company with outstanding technology.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

The borla was nice, the awe I had was a much better system in my opinion. All are great though.

[@josephpizzi7505]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed awesome. Thanks !

[@mustangecoboosthpp3869]

If you look at specs you will see some systems fit either the 3.5 V6 or the 2.7 four cylinder from the cat back. Some companies have not tested their system on a 2.7 so they do not list the 2.7 engine but any cat back should fit, now the thing you have to be concerned with is not buying to big of a pipe. I would stick with a 2.5 inch system and avoid the 3 inch systems for the 2.7 because the 3 inch is to big and you will lose to much velosity in the exhaust system. You are looking for velosity to help remove more of the spent exhaust gases from the cylinders. Borla is one of the few exhaust companies that fully understands this.

[@MrCorey214]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed you have to compare apples to apples. You are increasing the noise to a car. Why. You don’t know that there are people who can’t stand the noise factory cars make already? Dogs and other animals are sensitive to loud noises. That’s what I mean about being inconsiderate. I don’t criticize you specifically but I guess this goes to all those who make unnecessary loud noise.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@xurritoalejandro8109 I’m always respectful around any of that if I’m close to someone, but in general driving on the roads or parking lots, you can’t even hear the truck. If you don’t like it that’s ok. I like loud vehicles but also respect the environment I am in.

Guys, this Awe exhust is garbage 🗑. If you're only using it off-road fine, but on the road, it sounds like your exhaust is leaking.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I would definitely disagree. It was the best system I had on my truck and would highly recommend it. Sounded the best out of all of them.

Absolutely untrue, I have the AWE on mine and it's the best system out there
