Before you ask, Borla makes the TRD exhaust so its the same thing.

I've been told that the OEM exhaust is stainless steel (have not confirmed) What is the TRD made of?

 

[Pribilof]

I'm almost completely positive that every exhaust Borla makes is 100% stainless.

I'm interested in impressions of the TRD exhaust too. Thanks to the folks that have posted sound clips of the Borla system. It looks and sounds great, but maybe a little louder than I was looking for - wonder if the TRD system is a little quieter.

TRD tells me that their system is made in-house - not by Borla. Here's the response I got from them when I asked:

The dual exhasut for the 4 runner is available and it can be purchased from
any local Toyota dealer, retail is $899.95. The system is made in house by
TRD and not by Borla. We only have available one system and it exits the
sides of the vehicle, and as far as warranty, no TRD part if installed by
the Toyota dealer affects the existing warranty on the vehicle.

Dear TRD,

On your homepage, I see a new dual catback exhaust for the 4Runner with
4.7L V8, but I can't find it in the online catalog? What's up?

I would like to have a local TRD dealer install on my '03 4Runner. What's
the price? Would it affect my warranty in any way? Is this the system made
by Borla? Is it possible to modify for rear exit?

TRD is full of crap as usual. It's the Borla exhaust built to "TRD specs" which are probably identical to the normal Borla exhaust.

Got it in this morning-- the sound is awesome-- not really any significant hp gains -- only dyno will tell. As for the sound, it's a nice throaty rumble when accelerating--not too loud. It's what I expected.

Thanks again to all that replied !!
