Took to ~4000 miles on our '21 Pro for the 'drone' to quiet down. The 'noise' didn't bother me....it was the actual feeling of the exhaust note in my head that was an absolute annoyance.....if that make sense.

All of the sudden, gone! Still has the noise at regular RPM driving...which is fine, but the constant, brain annoying, drone is gone. Get on it...yep, it gets louder. Like it very much now. Glad I didn't spend the coin on a new exhaust....'cause that was the next step.

I’ve got 2,000 miles on mine now and have just started noticing a mellowing of the sound. It hasn’t really bothered me from day one, and I’ve had no plan to replace it. But I have noticed the sound seems lower and less intrusive now. I don’t know if there’s a mechanical reason that the sound would change over time, or whether it’s my ears that are changing. But there is a different feel to it now.

I swapped mine out for a stock exhaust and it was the single best mod I've ever done to any vehicle. The sound was so annoying.

I've been driving a loaner sr5 while my 20 pro is waiting on tsb fox shock replacement. Imo this sr5 is so much nicer to drive. It does not feel like its struggling all the time. I plan on swapping the resonator out when I get it back. Every performance car and motorcycle I have owned I put aftermarket exhaust on, so I appreciate a nice exhaust note. On my pro, the drone is simply.....exhausting.

Yeah I actually thought the stock exhaust was smoother to drive and I feel like the power was better which I'm sure technically its not.

TRD Pro Exhaust

I have 2021 Pro—the exhaust sound is very annoying. Sounds like there’s a small hole in the muffler. It just buzzes. For 50k, I expected a super cool tone. Very disappointing. Has anyone had any luck with an aftermarket muffler to improve the sound?

Trade for a stock one.

I’m curious about the same as well.

I, too, have a 2021 with now 5,500 miles on it and the drone is exhausting driving here in the foothills of upstate SC and Western NC mountains.

I’m looking into the Borla Touring exhaust as a possible replacement. Reviews I’ve read and listened to on YouTube sound very favorable.

I have about 5k on mine and I’m not a fan. Lots of drone going up moderate hills and inclines, makes the car feel like it’s struggling and accentuates the long gearing of the 5 speed. I was hoping it would mellow out with mileage but not much improvement.

'20 TRD Pro Exhaust

Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I don’t mind the sound of mine at all, and I climb 6,000+ feet in elevation in it at least weekly, often multiple times per week.

I made the switch. Kept the side outlet but swapped the muffler.

SOOOO much better. The drone at when downshifting on express way was killing me.
