Top 3 Exhaust Systems For The Toyota Tacoma Review

[@ironmanjohnny232]

The time and effort you guys put into showing each exhaust system is pretty dope. Thanks you.

[@tacomabeast]

Our pleasure!

[@l.carroll9076]

I can’t thank you all enough for making this video. It was super helpful in my decision making and the production quality was amazing. You guys crushed it!

[@tacomabeast]

Glad it helped!

[@stxylocxl]

I personally like the MBRP, borla sounds almost stock in my opinion, and for the price range, I’m gonna go with the MBRP! Thanks for this video!

[@tacomabeast]

Glad we were able to help 🤙

[@Justsomegamergamingandstuff]

I was thinking the same with the Borla. $700 and it barely sounds any different? Really? My dad had a V8 Raptor with a Borla exhaust and that truck sounded fucking nasty. Granted that's a very different truck, but my point is they know how to make a good exhaust, I'm just surprised this is so bland

[@user-ej1bq4bq2w]

AFE has a nice medium to it, just throaty enough to be pleasing without being obnoxious. Borla sounds good too, but its pricey

[@motorcyclemichael2182]

Borla=stainless steel

[@no_lft_shft]

These videos have been the most extensive and comprehensive go to videos for any mods for your Tacoma. A tire video like this would be cool since I'm in the market for my first set of tires

[@tacomabeast]

We used bf Goodrich KM3’s for this one 🤙

[@jmyers6175]

Very through video. I bought a 21 with a manual. It had a magnaflow already installed. Way too loud. The highway drone, terrible on long drives. It's all you hear when you arrive. I researched and was considering trd or oem. I chose borla, price, ss and reputation. Drone relief finally.

[@schlagboy]

The most thorough exhaust video I have ever seen. Magnificent work!

[@tacomabeast]

Thanks!

[@Tundraholic]

Been rocking the MBRP for a year or so,painted it with engine heat paint and no rust so far. Sounds good and is tucked up so you don't smash your exhaust.best bang for your buck🤙

[@cc.actual]

That’s a great idea

[@tacomabeast]

That’s a great idea! Definitely gonna keep that in mind 🤙

[@user-ej1bq4bq2w]

I live on the ocean, no way would I swap stainless for "aluminized steel" anything. Stainless or bust, and even 409 is pushing it.

[@richardbrewer8301]

MBRP is the best sounding I've heard and you can get them in single or dual exhaust , plus they look great !!!

MBRP has a terrible note in person, made the truck sound like a 2003 civic. I sold it after three days.

[@jsharmsway]

I’ve had the borla for a year now. Best choice imo… right amount of growl, but not annoying at highways speeds. Sounds better once broken in too!

For someone like me that just bought my 3rd Gen Taco and has my lift, rims/tires, and light bar. This video was dead on letting me know which brand to go with. I picked the AFe as well prior to seeing you say the AFE also. Good video buddy. Really informative

[@tacomabeast]

Thanks bro! 🤙

[@Bawkr]

AFE all the way for sure. The other two have their moments where they make a really cool sound that the AFE doesn't make but the AFE consistently sounds better to me.

[@18wats29]

Great video, but I gotta say, I have the MBRP and I daily my truck as well as drive long distance, once you get used to the sound it really isn't that bad, and well always make you smile at those you look at you with a dazed stare.

Thanks bro 🤙

[@johnny51984]

I took off my TRD Pro exhaust from my 2020 Tacoma and replaced it with the Borla. I could not be more satisfied and happy that I made the switch. Sounds great. Far better than the TRD Pro exhaust in my opinion. Doesn’t hurt that it’s paired with the KN Blackhawk cold air intake, Pedal Commander, and RIPP ignition coils either.

[@silvanicontreras5565]

Borla is the best sound. No drone. Sounds Natural

[@mustangecoboosthpp3869]

I see a lot of posts pushing the Craven exhausts, the problem with Craven is they cheeped out and use low quality 400 series stainless steel that will rust. Borla only uses quality T304 stainless steel which costs a lot more than cheap 400 series stainless steel.

[@07HDDriver]

Borla for me for the exact reason stated. I drive a lot of long trips and am too old now for a droning exhaust lol

[@jpadamada]

The AFE and MBRP sound nice and aggressive, but I personally don't want the drone from it which i see a lot of others commenting that there definitely is drone, I've had drone on another vehicle, I aint about that life. Borla sounds better for daily driving, just for my needs and opinion, great video !

[@tacomabeast]

Glad the video was able to help 🤙

This vid has been the best that I've seen so far.. Mainly since you showed how someone at home could do it. Also how u use the spray before and after. All other vids I've seen mention it but never state how it's used. More of a "they should know". The time and deatil given in these vids is remarkable!! THANK YOU!! Borla for me, Didn't like the sag on the AFE tip.. seemed to low.

I have the AFE, yes it sounds good, but on the highway could get too loud specially with the gear hunting. And one thing I did not like, the tip that was black in the beginning, it’s not silver, it lose the black color with the time.

@@benmonaco413 I wish I know the answer but idk what's changed on the 2022. Haven't research about the newer ones but it might.

[@mustangecoboosthpp3869]

The problem with the Craven exhausts is they use 409 stainless steel that is magnetic and will rust, do a little research on stainless steels and you will understand why Borla uses T304 stainless steel and gives you a million mile warranty which comes out to 20,000 miles a year for 50 years. you will go through several Craven exhausts in the same million miles.

[@NXT_LVL]

For "Overlanding" between the 3 to choose from here: Borla. Regardless of the price, sound, you need quality of pipe, welds and the peace of mind. 304 > 409 > Aluminumized Steel. Unless it's a beater.

[@That_1_guy69]

That Borla sounds so much better than the others

[@chrispeltacksr4167]

I have to wonder if there’s any significant back-pressure difference between the 2.5” Borla and the other two at 3”. Does the better flow result in ANY dyno changes at all? Gotta admit- that MBRP had the most significant sound change- it growled nicely!

[@tacomabeast]

That’d be an insterestig thing to look into 🤙

[@mustangecoboosthpp3869]

Bigger is not better the 3 inch exhausts in this video reduce exhaust velocity and cylinder scavenging, the Borla 2.5 inch system will have the highest exhaust velocity and the best cylinder scavenging resulting in the best performance. John Lingenfelter built over 600 horse power corvettes and worked with Borla on the exhaust and used 2.5 inch pipes, even today people still think bigger exhaust pipes are better but they could not be more wrong. The same thing applies to headers and header collectors. If nothing else remember this you are looking for exhaust gas velocity, the faster you can move the exhaust gases the better the cylinder scavenging will be with will allow for a better cylinder charge on the intake stroke resulting in more power.

[@neroboosh7846]

Hard to tell in a video when it comes to sound. I like the AFE but magna makes a great sounding exhaust as well.

[@christophertomes6777]

Loved the video, I really liked the borla exhaust but dang its a bit pricey. I would of appreciated some runs with the stock exhaust as well just as a control because on some of those runs I was thinking dang it sounds pretty stock

[@panchogonzalez5319]

Had the MBRP on my 21 Tacoma TRD Sport manual transmission and it was too loud for everyday driving, lots of drone noise in 3rd to 5th gear inside the truck,exhaust would even pop on downshifts,tried to add a magna flow resonator but loudness did not reduce much.Finally replaced setup with TRD exhaust and now have lower noise a little higher tone than stock exhaust.Will try the Borla S type sometime in future.

[@tylergarner9206]

I’m running a dual MBRP here in Germany…. Extreme pucker factor when the inspection happened. Came in right under the mark at 94db! It’s got a drone for sure. Going to dyna mat to try and get the noise down. Either way it sounds great and looks awesome!

@@Rifles-n-Harvest To bad Craven cheap's out and uses low quality 400 series stainless steel that rusts. So many of these exhaust manufactures use aluminized steel or low quality 400 series stainless steel. Borla only uses quality T304 stainless steel, 300 series stainless steel is non magnetic and have higher contents of nickel and chromium which resists rust and stains. No one including Craven comes close to the Borla sound.

[@JeffAdairKTM530]

AFE

[@mustangecoboosthpp3869]

You want the Borla then, both the MBRP and AFE used 3 inch tubing which is to big and reduces exhaust gas velocity and cylinder scavenging, Borla is the only one of these three systems that got the tubing size correct for maximum exhaust gas velocity and cylinder scavenging. Add in the fact Borla also uses T304 stainless steel on all of their products which is far superior to MBRP's aluminized steel and AFE's 409 stainless steel and the clear winner is Borla.

[@happyfark8602]

that mpg is just because of the lift and tires? Not even with towing?

[@tacomabeast]

Yeah we haven’t done the re gear yet 🤙

[@rjhwoodworks]

I bought the Borla and do not regret it. Everything sounds very Honda civic like in real life. The Borla is very deep and just enough aggression for this mid size truck. If you are gonna go with the other options just straight pipe it at that point. Borla doesn’t restrict air flow either like the MBRP having a smaller muffler is not good for the airflow to come out. You need max air flow to come out and Borla does just that. There’s a reason it’s expensive and yes really overpriced but again worth it for quality too. Doesn’t rust like the MBRP as well. Don’t forget the other two brands rust easier as well too. If you get the Borla and want an even more aggressive sound a S and B old air intake is perfect. PS there’s a reason The guy went with the Borla for his truck for a reason lol.

[@tacomabeast]

[@naturaljoe759]

I didn’t do a pre-built catback but I went with an Aero Turbine AT2525 muffler and it sounded awesome and got a ton of compliments before I went to URD Equal Length headers and then had to get a resonator because it got *raspy*.
