Question TRD exhaust...how is it??

does any gen4-4.5 owners (97-01) have a stock TRD exhaust? i was thinking of getting one, but i wanna know how it sounds and looks like first. and is the installation easy and straight-forward? i tried searching & found nothing, but some pics would be sweet, thanks

the TRD Exhaust is not worth getting it because its the same thing as the BORLA Exhaust but without the TRD LOGO.

BORLA $207usd
TRD $400usd

They both the same thing just different price. I'm trying to get the BORLA exhaust for my 98 Camry. But shipping cost to SYDNEY AUSTRALIA costs $288usd .

the sound is quiet during normal driving, but when you're gunning the car hard, it sounds like the Nissan 350z (that's what most people told me)

(link above is the recording of my friend's car with Borla Exhaust)

so goodluck!

If you have msn, pm me your email addy and i'll add you and send you a video clip of the TRD exhaust on my 97 v6 cam. I'd post it up but I recently formated and I dont have any programs installed that can edit/convert the video to a smaller size.

his exhaust sounds deeper and nicer since it's a V6. OUr four cylinders won't sound like that.

I dont believe that the 4cyc Camry will produce the same sound as the V6 camry. (it's like asking, can a V6 car produce the same sound as a V8 car, No it wont! )

but if you put BORLA or TRD Exhaust on the 4cy Camry it will sound Sweet ass!!

BUT DON'T BOTHER getting the TRD exhaust!!! its a RIP OFF!!

im not sure, but i think Greedy evo is much more louder than the TRD or Borla Exhaust. In power gain it might do much better.
