It also is frustrating to see M62 superchargers for other makes and models go for $250 or less and a TRD M62 go for 15x the price.

On the other hand, I got this rig about 7 yrs ago and have driven it over 80,000 miles. It’s the same muffler it came with and I don’t know how old it was then. I also can’t tell what kind it is. It just looks like a rust-colored oval - no logo or anything as far as I can tell.

If I swap it, I’m inclined to go OEM because I’d like it quiet like now, but I’m also open to suggestions because the OEM at Camelback is nearly $500.

Thanks as always for help & advise -


Also, I’m in northern CA on the coast. No snow unless I seek it out, and no salted roads. The vehicle came from Sacramento.
