Catback exhaust for my '03

[Cave Bear]

Got a 2003 V6 4Runner with about 67K miles, sort of inherited it from the wife. I have a rather long commute now and want to tweak it a bit. Past experience has shown me that if you put a high(er) performance catback exhaust (among other things) on, both performance and fuel economy.

Problem is, I can't find anyone who makes one for this year model anymore. Is there anything out there that can be made to work on this year model and engine?

Thanks in advance...

I am not sure with the 03 but on my 05 v8 I chose to just have the muffler replaced with a magnaflo and removed the resonator in the back and it sounds great. the pipe was the same size from the cat back so I didn't see a reason to replace it
hope this helps

I got a Magnaflow Cat-Back. Sounds and looks great. Got it on eBay for only $450.

On the Magnaflow website it retails for $800.

Looks like the cheapest on eBay is $620.

The ONLY thing you'll experience is a different/louder sound.

Any performance or gas mileage increase will be insignificant....If you get a 10hp increase or a .1 mpg increase you'll be LUCKY.

What is the specific Part # of the magnaflow muffler you installed?

If you have a long commute, I suggest keeping the stock exhaust. I've already grown tired of my Borla Exhaust.
