I have the Borla and I'm pleased with it as far as fit, quality and sound. I do wish the tail pipe diameter was bigger but I guess that's all that will fit under there.

i have the borla, sounds just right to me, not too loud but sweet sounding with my V8, love it. ive always liked the look of duals ,...even its it not a true dual setup. also, easy install . but cost a little more than some are willing to spend.

Vote for Exhaust?

I am very interested in the outcome of this poll as I have yet to pick the exhaust system for my 4runner. I've heard a lot about Borla so far. I'm not after the loud noise, I just want less restrictive exhaust, performance. Sound is at the bottom of the list. I've never noticed the rotten eggs smell from the exhaust and the back window down but was thinking about turning the exhaust out the side anyways.

I'm working with a 2005 Sport Edition, 4.7L V8, 4x4, XREAS. I would like to hear more about why, to assist me in choosing a system for what I have to work with.

None of the above. Stock is best! Loud exhausts are not refined. They belong on a sports car, not an SUV.

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about JMC. Exhaust systems do a lot more than make sound. In fact many exhaust systems by high performance manufacturers allow you to choose the sound you prefer while still getting the same performance increase on your truck. Just take a look here and you'll see the variety of volume/sound/resonance capabilities that Flowmasters give.

How do these exhaust upgrades affect the sulfur smell situation?

I went with Borla

After talking to Chaz and listening to exhaust systems on Youtube I went with Borla and I'm VERY happy with my selection. Yes, its pricey, but I felt it is worth it by the looks and sound. I wasn't looking to set off car alarms when I start up. The side exit was important to me. Add the Volant CAI and I am most pleased with the whole package. Even with the stock airbox and a K&N drop in and removed HCF it just sounds so damn sweet. Again not too loud, just better!

One of the things here is that it seems to me that your talking about catback systems. If all you want is sound it ALL come down to preference on what you want your truck to sound and how you want the tips. Power really won't increase unless you get rid of the cats and change the tubing. To be honest the factory muffler flows very well which is why I'm still running it while waiting for my APR exhaust.

Another vote for Borla. My brother has a dual side swept exhaust in his 4.7 V8 Sport Edition and the sound is amazing. It's not a loud exhaust, but it has that low, aggressive rumble, and I've never heard anything quite like it. I wish I could replicate that on a V6.

I just installed a Gibson Cat Back exhaust on my 04 SR5. It was easy to install, sounds great and cost 300 off of amazon. All in all a great value for the time and money spent.

I'm thinking about a custom 2.5'' catback with a magnaflow muffler. I was quoted $280 for the whole job.Besides clearance, is there a benefit to a side exit exhaust? I basically have the freedom to choose where i want it to exit with a custom job and I'm not sure what to get. Will a side exit prevent exhaust from getting sucked in the rear window? The sulfur smell sucks
