Borla Exhaust Questions - Toyota 4Runner Forum

LandRvr Convert · 03-03-2008, 12:01 AM

I saw a 4Runner today with a dual Borla exhaust on it.

It was chrome and looked great. The exhaust tips came out under the rear quarter panels behind the back tires.

My question is this. Does it make the exhaust sound any different, and how much does it cost for this part?

Thanks guys!

its loud... if you do a search you'll find a sound clip of it. people have bought it for around 600-800.

Is the borla louder than the TRD?

The Borla is the TRD. They are the company that makes the TRD labeled exhaust systems- so save a few bucks and get the Borla...

I am not sure that is correct. I hear the TRD is made by bosal.

Maybe they (TRD) changed their vendor recently... My father's TRD exhaust on his Tundra ('05) was made by Borla

is the exhuast stamped with TRD or BORLA at the tips? I know that the trd exhaust and the borla dual exhaust have different designs... so i doubt that borla makes the trd exhaust.

if he got the exhaust with the truck at the dealer with a trd package, it doesn't necessarily mean that the exhaust is from TRD. It seems like a lot of dealers use the borla exhaust... take the 4runner x-sp for example.

I have the Borla exhaust on my 2006 with the V8 ,Dealer installed option ($800)and it was pretty loud inside the vehicle at 70-75 on the freeway. I added some additional sound material to the rear which did not help. I had my local muffler shop remove the front resonator and install an 18 inch straight thru Magaflow. I then had him cut the tips off which are small resonators and rerouted the exhaust out the back. I now have a very mellow sound which does not get annoying after a couple hours on the freeway. Hope this helps.

The tips are different but the piping is the same. He ordered through Toyota and we put it on ourselves.

I do have the Borla exhaust, stamped BORLA both tips and the muffler.

I will try to send the picture again.

Wow.........That looks awesome. Now that might just be somthing to try out.

I have to talk to some of my buddies who know someone at an exhaust shop.

does anyone know if Borla makes one for the v8 07 sport. I figure it would be the same than the 06 but it is not listed in their website. Thanks guys!
