I still think it’s cool and innovative!
Ever heard a flat six scream? It’s obviously the exception, but the sound is incredible.

It's not an exception to a narrow-angle V6, it is not a narrow-angle V6.

Took it for a 45 minute ride both hwy and in town. Sounds great when it starts up. Sounds great in town driving with a feather foot. Basically anything over 1300 to 1400rpm it makes it so bluetooth is unusable and the sound in the cab and down right bad. set the cruise at 55 brings me to 1500rpm, bluetooth not usable and drive is obnoxious... soon as you hit an incline..Drone! No way would a road trip be pleasant. Rig is totally unloaded and I'm not gonna waste my time hooking up the trailer. Not sure what they were thinking?
The TRD system drones "yes" but the overall driving experience is better.
The good? Starting the rig sounds bad ass, idling through town sounds good and coasting up to a stop light when it down shifts sounds awesome and at a stop light you can hear the engine run, zero exhaust.
Can't answer the smell in the back window deal as it's 25 outside. Tried it one time and aside from cold all my crap started blowing all over the cab so had to shut the windows!

Do you plan on returning them? False advertising?

Yes, I sent them a letter and waiting to hear back. I should grab screen shots of the advertisement in case they pull it!

That is disappointing. It looked promising.

I just read a couple online reviews and these guys are saying no drone but looks like 4th gen. Not sure if that matters but wonder if I got a lemon?

My Borla sounds 100 times better than that thing, and has zero drone

Agreed, but was curious if that NDT section actually even makes a difference in the drone. If you remove it or use the cap does the drone actually get worse or stay the same?

I can't help with either. GF wanted it gone as bad as me so I pulled it this afternoon.

Just throwing this out here.
What does not work for me maybe someones loves the sound. Many like the Gibson, Borla etc but a guy with Gibson heard my pro TRD last year and threw his in the garbage, went TRD and despite the drone, loves it and still does.
After owning V6 f150s I suppose I'm convinced now that one will never sound good. Did not expect power as it's a 4runner after all but if we could get a decent sound (in my opinion) it would be the ultimate in a runner!

A bunch of people (35 or so) did a group buy through SRQ Fabrications on the TR4.org 3rd Gen forum. A plus for this 'overland' system is that is doesn't expose the long, stock exit pipe we have to getting crushed by rocks and a lot of us were on stock 20+ year old exhaust, so a bolt-on, made in the US, stainless magnaflow system at a reduced price and free shipping made sense. I don't know that I'd bother on a modern rig.....I saw this thread listed on Recent Threads and thought it was from the 3rd gen group, as we are starting to get tracking numbers from Magnaflow.....
