Its meant to be obnoxiously loud. Get it replaced with something reasonable. If you have your factory muffler id throw it back on. If you dont, I am sad for you.

Same exact thing happened to me. Couldnt find a single one anywhere.

I travel up and down pretty intense mountain roads very frequently in Va and downshift to brake all the way down the mountain. Its alot better to use 2nd and Lo than burn out your brake pads. I also enjoy shifting to brake instead of pushing the brake pedal. Dont think it does any harm and...

I personally tried to tint my back ones with a cheap kit and it was one of the hardest things I have ever attempted. Everything goes wrong. I got 25% on my fronts professionally done. $125. Pretty close to a match but not perfect.

If they are Eagle Eyes tails they ship from Pico Rivera, CA. Mine were pretty easy to put in except I was too lazy to remove the plastic paneling in the trunk so I just bent it enough to get in there.

Where you gonna put your spare if you get dual? Seems like such a pain getting dual exhaust unless you get a mock second tail pipe. And even then, on cold mornings people might wonder why there's exhaust pouring out of one pipe and none from the other.

I had a tailpipe that went straight out the back four about a year, and when I drove with the back window down I could definitely smell the carbon monoxide. It was pretty intense. Im pretty sure by putting that last corner turn on the tailpipe on factory 4runners, much of the carbon monoxide...

Thank ya

Got mine removed and pretty much all the paint had cracked off. I believe its normal. Hot exhaust is a normal occurence. After a long drive youre not gonna go grab your tailpipe for fun are you? Its made for the sound it gives the vehicle. It alters airflow to make that sound so the...

This has probably been answer numerous times but I could not find the answer: Does anyone know the type of bulb/part# for the 2 license plate light bulbs? One of mine burned out. thanks

When its hot (after you have left your car on/driven for a long period of time) the Vortex sounds drastically different from when its cold. Summer days (in VA) would cause mine to sound a whole lot different than winter mornings. It just has to do with the muffler heating up and cooling down.

K&N intake kit gives you deep sound. sounds good and improved my acceleration.

I think the factory spoilers go along with the same idea as factory roof racks... If your vehicle doesnt come with them from the factory, then it requires drilling and rough install to put em in.. Which sucks.

Midas put my vortex in with larger piping back to a big tailpipe for like $120. I would definitely search for places like "The Muffler Shop" or "The Muffler Guy". They always seem to be much cheaper.

Keep that factory muffler. Stuff it away in storage or something. The vortex is a rather loud muffler and if you should ever decide to remove it, factory mufflers can only be installed along with the entire back exhaust system ($800). Keep it so you can swap em if you get sick of the screams.
