Toyota Tacoma MBRP Exhaust 20,000 Mile Review PART 2 DRONE ISSUE

[@123mistax]

I love my mbrp, but I actually like the sound. Personally, being able to hear my truck makes my ride more enjoyable.

[@pentzwerks]

Hello Xander Lilledahl. I honestly like the exhaust when I was driving under 45 mph, it was a cheaper but good exhaust. Once I started commuting and driving over 60 mph, that's when I decided to take it off. Thanks for your input, everyone is going to have different opinions of the exhaust.

[@123mistax]

@@pentzwerks ye definitely

[@pentzwerks]

Hello @@123mistax. On a side note, is your exhaust rusting at the hinges? Mine rusted heavily on the hinges, I should of powder coated the exhaust and hinges before installing it.

[@123mistax]

@@pentzwerks Mine hasn't rusted yet, been on for almost 8 months, or so. But I'm in the bay area, not a whole lot of rain or humidity.

[@pentzwerks]

Hello @@123mistax. I was just in Santa Monica and Malibu this weekend, and the weather is completely different. I agree with you about the rain and humidity causing rust.

I have 2011 with the 4.0L 6 dpd manual. I wanna give her the hood ol deep rawr she has but not be too loud in he cab... been really looking at the set up you have. I live in eastern Washington. I'm at the sand dunes almost every weekend and with a 2.5 inch lift on 265/75/16s I get like 16 mpg

[@4coopdawg]

Is there a better option for an exhaust ? What’s the best exhaust ? Thank you. Great video !!

[@imoore8908]

Really love your videos! I just bought a manual 16 trd pff road and I also live in Seattle. Keep it up, I’m soaking in tons of info!

[@pentzwerks]

Hello Izzy Moore. Thank you for the positive feedback; if you ever need any accessories please feel free to reach out. Micheals Toyota of Bellevue can help you; ask for Monroe and tell him Dean sent you. Best of luck driving the manual in Seattle; I'm use to it now so I do not worry about the hills. Make sure you utilize the clutch start cancel if you stall it on a steep hill.

[@imoore8908]

@@pentzwerks will do! I ended up getting some rust issues as well. I ordered the Black Powder coated model.

[@Mityob67]

Excellent review. Thanks for posting.

[@pentzwerks]

Hello Tim Brown. Thank you for commenting. I still think the exhaust is a good exhaust for the money.

[@dlk4886]

you inspired me to buy my 18 6mt tdr sport i love it

[@pentzwerks]

Hello Devon Kidwell. I'm glad you got a manual transmission, it'll last you a long time.

[@samdequina3386]

The is for this video. I was never going to get it but now I know for sure I’d be annoyed with the drone sound. Thinking of getting the trd pro exhaust for my taco. Any experience ?

[@pentzwerks]

Hello Sam Dequina. I've recently sold my MBRP and upgraded to a Strumong Catback Exhaust that sounds really good. I'll be uploading a video of the sound clip shortly. I think it sounds better than the TRD Pro, similar priced but the quality of the Stromung is better than the Pro exhaust. NO DRONING, No annoying sounds and it's only heard when you get on the throttle a lot. Here's the unboxing video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4i5eYeZgs6la7c

[@XxKillacalikid209xX]

Hey Stryker, any updates coming soon on the fox suspension and reviews of running that with 33's?

[@pentzwerks]

Hello PD_55. Yes I can give an update on the Fox Suspension and running 33's. Do you have any specific questions about the suspension? That way I'll know that I answered your questions.

[@XxKillacalikid209xX]

Stryker Seattle Mostly if you've had any issues since putting the lift on, difference in ride quality and also if the compression adjusters is worth it in your opinion?

[@pentzwerks]

Hello @@XxKillacalikid209xX. I'll go ahead and incorporate all of that information into the next video. It'll probably be 3 weeks till that video is uploaded due to the weather conditions in my area.

[@xItsmeFirex]

@@pentzwerks Please make an update video and try to incorporate your old leveling kit into your review as well because i am interested in getting it.

[@pentzwerks]

Hello @@xItsmeFirex. I'll definitely do so. My next videos will be: 0. What is Tacoma "lean," how to correct for it. 1. Fox Suspension Update & Review 2. Damges due to Fox Suspension 3. Comparison of Fox Suspension and Leveling Kit 4. Advantages of a Leveling Kit 5. Update of the Tacoma 20K Miles 6. What I do not like about my Tacoma, what can Toyota improve on. Let me know if you'd like to see something outside of the future videos listed.

Great review

[@pentzwerks]

Hello Mr_Hachi_Roku 86 Thank you for commenting, more reviews will be released soon.

[@Freshwatergear1]

Whats the difference between the black coated and normal mbrp? Does the black coat help with the rusting? Im asking because i take my tacoma off roading a lot and im looking for a aftermarket exhaust

[@pentzwerks]

Hello Justin Pham. The black edition is less likely to become rusty. If you off-road a lot, then simply spray paint the exhaust before installing it. Your truck will be completely rusted underneath if you off road a lot. Buy a $10 can of rustuem from an auto parts store instead of paying $200 extra for the black edition.

[@jmabs5096]

Paying extra for something you can do with a can of spray paint to add a little more protection. Personally I paint all my exhaust with high heat paint. I tend to get a few more years out of my exhaust here in the rust belt

[@cmoney8280]

They sell a 409 stainless version

[@SMITT359]

Reply 4 years later. But I got 3rd Gen Tacoma with 3.5 V6, manual transmission. I installed “aftermarket” Cold Air Intake, and MBRP Catback, drone is horrendus. (Big word) Instead of dealing with J Pipes, or resonators, other BS, I bought “higher end” catback. zptonlem solved.

[@vvvi1876]

What are u running now ?

[@pentzwerks]

Hello Gilbert Ramirez. I decided to go back to the stock exhaust as I'm driving an average of an hour to an hour and a half a day. I'll be posting another video if I decide to get another exhaust.

[@zandrbrooks6492]

What’d you end up selling yours for? I’m just wondering because I want to sell mine too.

[@pentzwerks]

Hello Zandr Brooks. I ended up selling mine for $150 after coating it with spray paint. I have access to a sand blaster, so I was able to refinish the surface. I would say you could get $100 - $125, post it on craigslist and see who is interested.

[@ryantran7539]

Zandr Brooks do you live in Texas, I’m wanna buy one

[@zandrbrooks6492]

Kevin Levu Damn I live in North Carolina. Idk if you’re willing to pay shipping or not.

[@calripson]

You are not going to get any appreciable increase in horsepower or torque given the presence of the catalytic converters which are the most restrictive element in the exhaust system. You would need to put on headers and a true dual exhaust (sans converters) to see real gains and that would be for a race motor operating at high rpms.

[@pentzwerks]

Hello Cal Ripson. You're correct with that statement. Link below verifies what you've said. auto.howstuffworks.com/how-much-horsepower-does-performance-muffler-add.htm

[@pentzwerks]

Hello @Tacoma Central. Yes I think the 3" - 3.5" exhaust is sufficient enough for the tacoma. All and all, I think the MBRP exhaust is a good exhaust for the money.

[@myanon6671]

Dipped exhaust or aluminized are crap. Mine lasted 2 years only.

[@myanon6671]

T409 alliminim or stay home. dipped is crap. I just bought the T409 MBRP to replace my dipped garbage exhaust.

[@doallyoucan81]

you call that rust?!

[@pentzwerks]

Helo Lee Smitherman. I live in Washington where the roads are not salted during the winter and they use sand. The exhaust should not have any rust on it as it had only been on the truck for 20,000 miles with no off road miles.

[@doallyoucan81]

@@pentzwerks Yeah, it looks like it's mostly the bolts for the bracket though. I mean, I'm just thinking that like most people say, for $250 bones and what is almost two years worth of driving for some people that's pretty minimal. Do you expect that would eventually rust a hole in it or something? I guess it really all comes down to the gauge of the steel they use as to how long it would take to rust out a hole or any real damage.

[@pentzwerks]

Hello @@doallyoucan81 I do not suspect the exhaust to rust all the way through unless I lived on the east coast and drove it 100,000 miles. I removed this exhaust after uploading this video, now I have a Stromung Exhaust. The quality is a lot better but it is 2x as expensive.

[@Moose1776]

easy fix fir corrosion problem. buy a can of bbq paint and spray the crap out of it.

[@pentzwerks]

Hello Moose. Sold the exhaust already but if I were too refinish it. I would spray paint it or send it out to be powder coated. All in all, it's a good exhaust.

[@edgerat]

Buys aluminized STEEL exhaust, doesn't paint it, complains about corrosion.

[@pentzwerks]

Hello Isaac Jarrett I did not think to paint it before installing it. When I receive my new exhaust it’ll be painted before installing it. Thanks for commenting.

[@dbonejonezruffrufr3963]

Where's the off-road videos princess

[@pentzwerks]

Hello Dbonejonez Ruffrufr. Off-Road videos will be uploaded this summer (2 months away).
