....... It is almost impossible to find a nice or otherwise cat back system for the 2000 4runner?? I have been looking for weeks now and my opportunity window is shutting fast. I've looked at Borla, they only have exhausts for the 99 runner and older, and forth gen and newer. Called them and...

I'm real glad that it sounds good. After driving 70's and 80's beasts from America, the 4runner sounds like a minivan to me. I'm fed up with not knowing if it downshifts going up hills or not. I'm thinking magniflow strait through this summer, I'll keep you guys posted.

One of the ups of driving an older car. I've luckily never had a crash of any sort in my 4runner, but I was rear ended by a volkswagen at 20ish kilometers an hour when i was driving my 81 eagle. His car was totaled, leaking antifreeze, hood messed up, both fenders, he could only turn so many...

I'm sorry bigwebb83, but your avatar is creeping me right out........ Lol Anyway, 9 grand on a sport car. I'd probably try and find a late 70's trans am with the 400 small block. I own an 81 camaro and love how that thing drives. I've also driven a 77 trams am with the 400 and liked that even...

Well, i just did something interesting this last hour regarding something similar to this. I've got a 2000 SR5 runner and my dad has a 2010 limited with 18" rims, so when he was busy, I swapped my rims and tires for his, just to see what they looked like and weather it would work or not. Well...

First, my pride and joy, I'm not going to say what it is just yet as I want you guys to see if you can guess what it is. The first is just custom built dual exhaust. Personally best noise I think is possible to get out of an 6. Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket...

ohh, ok. So i WANT mandrel bends then. Lol what's it called when they kink the pipe when bending it then?

Aren't mandrel bends when they bend the pipe with "kinks" in it? Or am I using incorrect terminology? Oppose lol It's not so much the HP i'd lime more millage and sound I'm going for. My truck sounds to much like a mini van for my taste right now. And the other reason for manifold back is...

Generally, i do my own exhaust systems as i like being able to tune it to my own sound and play with what gives me more power. But I'm going to be driving this truck until it completely dies on me. I'm hopping for 500,000 miles out of the sucker. That's why when i do the exhaust, i want it to be...

Dangit! Alright so a high flow cat as well I guess then :P I wonder if borla sells them...... Probably, again, thanks for the Info guys. I guess I'll just look into getting a shop to do it for me.

I'm personally fond of the ATX AT2 as well, good tire, good tread life, decent off road capability(or at least, what little I've tried them on) but not very good on ice, I don't know what it is, maybe it's the lack of sipes on them or something, but they are like driving on a skating rink on...

really? Well that's a rip off........ Is it at least stainless or somethng? Maybe it's best best to just go and buy a borla universal muffler and some stainless pipe and get a shop to do it cause that's bull crap........ Do the 3rd gens have an issue with removing the cat on them? Do the...

Well how far foreword does the exhaust go? Is it a cat back system? Or is it a full end to end replacement, complete with high flow cat?

I've heard surprisingly little about the TRD exhaust system for the third generation 4runner on here. And I'm seriously thinking about getting it for my 2000 SR5 in the near future. What little I have heard about it is that it is a good exhaust, but not good value. And I have looked at the TRD...

I hate to say it, but I'm kinda with ceerhis on this matter. Not that it's going make a difference weather 2 newbs agree on something or not. I don't know much about this new adapter. All I know, is the procedure that my shop follows when balancing a tire. Step one, peel tires off rim and run...
