Video of the sound ?

 

I will try to get that for you tomorrow.

Nice . Would really like to hear it . I'm sure others will too

 

I ended up taking three videos today. First one was with a cold engine this morning and you really cannot hear much difference IMO. Second is in car, normal mode 1/2/3 gear pull to 80 MPH then down shifting. Third is a warm engine and really the best one.

My intent was not to really make it loud just to hear some exhaust tone under hard acceleration and to hear the throttle bump when I down shift.

Wow ! That does sound awesome.

 

I have really enjoyed it, IMO worth the money. Hopefully K&N will make a full set up to replace all the baffelling in place for the common driver. I think that will add tad bit more tone with out going crazy and replacing the Catalytic convertor with a straight pipe which would require engine remapping which I cannot find anyone that does that for the 3.5.

 

Was it a straightforward install? Could you give us a roundobout cost?

 

I'm in the biz so I got the mufflers for $170 and the install for $80. Realistically you should expect to be around $350.

Here are the details of the mufflers.

Borla number 40351, inlet outlet is considered OFFSET/OFFSET these are 2.25” OD PRO X/S, if you were going to use exhaust clamps you would need 2" OD as some hammering was needed to get the welds right.

 

Does it give off a kind of exotic car sound or is it the microphone

 

Microphone? Like 4 banger loud? If so NO.

Exotic, It's no V10 M6, which I would love to own.

 

Also you noticed a difference with the K&N air filter?

 

Not like I did with my other vehicles, I usually heard more tone from the engine compartment but nothing this time. Although I did feel improved throttle response slightly. Way too much baffling for me. I'm 42 and modify almost every vehicle I own. Including my 2012 Prius which I had added a K&N, Eibach Springs, Drilled and Slotted Rotors, Not to mention my 2009 Camry Hybrid which I added the Eibach's, K&N and Drilled rotors. I'm working on getting a Big Brake kit for the Avalon next spring.

 

Yeah like the phone / camera microphone . Still sounds good to me . I have heard some tacomas with exhausts and don't care for them but this sounds different and good.

 

Thanks for the info. The cars getting tint tomorrow, that will kick off my customizing.

Going to change out air filter too

 

There's quite a few camry videos with exausts on you tube . Sound good .

 

I would think this might void warranty.

 

Absolutely false.

 

Why is that? I have tried to find something in my warranty that says it could void it but can't find anything.

Are you talking about the filter or the mufflers?

I think any modification not authorized by Toyota may void warranty or at least give them grounds to say so if you had any emmisions or exahust issues. I am not saying it will or has just that I would not suggest modifications that might give the manufacturer a means to back out.

 

Go read the magnuson-moss warranty act

 

Okay I read it, the Act say's nothing about vehicle modifications not authorized by the manufacturer.

It does how ever state this " The federal minimum standards for full warranties are waived if the warrantor can show that the problem associated with a warranted consumer product was caused by damage while in the possession of the consumer, or by unreasonable use, including a failure to provide reasonable and necessary maintenance."



The bolded part makes me wonder. Now you go read it.

 

This thread reminds me of my brother and I arguing for the sake of argument... just for fun. If I were interested in this mod for my TAH, I would get a response from Toyota and act accordingly.

Absolutey, it makes no sense to modify a warrentied vehicle wihtout checking first. JMHO. And I said from the outset I was unsure if would void the warranty or not but I wouldn't risk it.

 

Now back to the topic of it sounds awesome, regardless of anything else.

This link wasn't well formed.

(That's the notice's opinion, not mine -- I just cut and pasted it .)

 

I've had warranty work on my tacoma done and I have cut frame, fabbed all kinds of stuff and have a lot of aftermarket products. $15k worth

Mojo is you look into the act again, they would have to prove that a aftermarket product you added caused the failure . In this case he simple added mufflers and maybe cut part of a pipe.

Of course you have, no one saw this reply coming. I looked at the source you provided and posted and bolded a portion that may apply, take that for what its worth.

 

I suggest at this point we let the warranty thing end. Stick to the topic of mufflers etc. Mojo, if you really want to have a debate over warranty stuff, start a new post about things that could void warranty. Maybe people can chime in about REAL WORLD experiences.

 

Its a forum people by design people respond to questions, get over yourself. I couldn't care less if someone wants to void their warranty and stated all along I was unsure if it would, but it's asinine to risk it, when all you have to do is call the dealer. I guess you missed the point.

 

Oh man.... You're right mojo . I installed a Christmas tree air freshener and they wouldn't warranty my water pump. Done now.

Exhaust sounds awesome man . Everyone I have showed this to agrees.

 

I just put it up on Youtube.

 

I think it's really cool that you did this. I wish Toyota would put out a TRD kit for this car.

 

Old thread revival...OP, do these allow you to keep the factory tips? Are these Borla exhausts any narrower than the stock exhaust. Sorry for the goofy questions, but since you didn't post pics, i can't figure out these answers on my own. The vids only help with the sound of the setup. Thanks in advance!
