Jason, I have been using your 4Runner maintenance videos for my just bought 2013 Limited. I've done everything PM. I do mean 100K everything. Your help and energy behind the work made all the difference. It motivated this 64 year old. I very much appreciate the use of correct tools for the job (not for cars), and the energetic "let's go" attitude. I truly admire your accomplishments, and wish you well in your endeavors.

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Wow! Thanks very much! 👍

[@jimmyj5038]

Yeah! More 4Runner upgrades!!! Thanks Jason!

[@JohnSalas-ib4cj]

Great video, I'm learning more and more about all these great 4Runner options through videos such as these. Keep the videos coming!

[@nevermore1045]

I appreciate these types of videos. Especially listing out the tools on the outset that helped immensely when I replaced my shocks with the first eibach kit you reviewed. Which is what finally made me go ahead with eibach over a billstein setup. Couldn't have been happier. The onky issue I ran into on that install was the driver side inbound top shock mount nut. It had rounded over. Stupid thing is somewhat angled but got it off with some patience. Also ended up with falken wildpeak at4's in 275.

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Rad!

[@Chesapeake_Frontier]

Your videos are great! I don't even have a 4runner or a tacoma or a Colorado lol,but I'm still gonna watch the install videos.

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Thanks man!

[@davestewart9146]

I enjoyed your video, thank you 👍😁

[@pierrep2649]

Sounds pretty good. Been debating for a while getting an exhaust for my 4Runner.

[@samsamsong276]

I have this exhaust system for about 2 years on my trd off road, this exhaust drone like crazy especially on the highway

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Up hill or under load/towing… yes. Just cruising… I disagree.

[@wille7834]

How do you get people to comment about rust? Ask them not to comment about rust. Love your videos! You come off as very personable and fun.

[@JasonExplainsThings]

;-)

[@ZorELE]

Great video. Clear. Laid out well. Perfect amount of comedy. Very well edited. Now if you could just do something about all that RUST…..

[@JasonExplainsThings]

It’s dirt!

[@ejesoriginal]

I put this exhaust on my 4runner last year because I could not stand the drone of the OEM TRD catback exhaust at highway speeds. The NDT absolutely got rid of that and the exhaust still sounds good.

[@taylorasbell7074]

Weird I feel like I've met you somewhere, I also have a 4runner and live in the pnw, just learned you are from Yakima, where I grew up. Crazy

[@smitty1hunter]

Actually sounds better than I thought it would. Only thing you left out is how much the system typically retails for. I had a Magnaflow on my GX470 and it sounded great. I'll be looking into this for my 2016. Thanks

[@Doc1855]

If I remember a Magniflow costs around a grand. The Flowmaster FlowFX dual exhaust sound about the same and it costs about $750. That’s what I have on my 23 TRD Off Road

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Prices change so I usually don’t state them in videos (because they end up wrong quickly). I believe it’s currently $820.

[@smitty1hunter]

@@JasonExplainsThings Gotcha. Thanks

[@True-77]

That fancy new exhaust might help vibrate away your flaky DIRT situation. 😉

[@InGratitudeIam]

Other than price (i.e., free perhaps?) is there a reason you went with the MF over a Borla system? The dB scale is logarithmic. So, an increase in sound (SPL) by 3 dB results in double the volume. Also, a constant, repeated exposure to 83 dB for 30 minutes or more will result in permanent hearing loss. That 4.4 dB increase in SPL on the highway is significant. You've more than doubled the noise in the cabin and it's at the threshold of causing hearing damage, especially with children as their hearing is much more sensitive than with us adults. So, you might consider adding sound deadening material inside the truck. This video was extremely helpful. Thanks!

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Yes… like I said in the video I did received the exhaust for the video. I’m a fan of the sound and build quality. The sound increase on the highway was mostly wind noise in my opinion… you don’t really hear a difference that much (like my wife said towards the end). I like it, but if exhaust mods aren’t your thing then just pass on it. Glad you enjoyed the video regardless.

[@InGratitudeIam]

@@JasonExplainsThings No need to get defensive, Jason. I was wondering if you would have chosen the MF over the Borla if you had to pay for either system. As far as noise in the cabin, it doesn't matter the source. What matters is the SPL. I do like the sound of the aftermarket system. I'm just pointing out some considerations you need to take into account to protect hearing when measurable levels go above 83 dB, regardless of source.

[@Anon00731]

⁠another one that is fun at parties…….

[@bobcoats2708]

Was hoping to hear that there was a mild performance benefit for installing the new exhaust. An extra inch or so of exhaust clearance doesn’t justify it for me.

[@Yoyomanmanholla]

Paying more to get louder exhaust? We in high school parking lot?

[@Braggdad212]

Maybe not for you, but for people who legit off-road an inch of clearance is huge

[@mannybarrera813]

Hi Jason I wanted to ask if you know of any issues with knocking with this exhaust? I have it installed on my truck and have been having a knocking sound occur in around 4th gear when the exhaust heats up

[@jbt7115]

Jason, I didn’t read all the comments but was wondering if the location of the new tailpipe allows exhaust fumes to enter through the tailgate window if it’s down. Thanks

[@JasonExplainsThings]

I wouldn’t say any more than the stock one.

[@jbt7115]

@@JasonExplainsThings thanks for that info Jason

[@barcainho]

I bought my exhaust used and unfortunately the seller didn't gave the ndt cap. I'm wondering if the ndt cap makes it that much quieter. Also magnaflow doesn't sell that specific part unfortunately

[@JasonExplainsThings]

That too bad.

[@ejesoriginal]

Just to see if it would work, I would just by the cheapest short resonator of the right size I could find and have the muffler shop weld a cap over the end and clamp it on. Some shops might even make you one pretty cheaply if you showed them what it looked like.

[@MD-eo2wy]

What ladder is that?

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Prinsu. There’s a video about it on my channel.

[@Logan-st7vb]

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Hi Logan! 😘

[@Bananahammock88]

Wow that sounds really really bad

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Sassy comments help just like positive ones! Thanks for watching dude!

[@Yoyomanmanholla]

Why you want it louder? Lol😂😂 seems like a terrible mod, like fang lights

[@JasonExplainsThings]

Because it's... fun.

[@Yoyomanmanholla]

Spend money to install this exhaust to avoid damaging the stock exhaust? What!? Seems like akin to “take up smoking to give it up, in order to save money” logic.
