[Lostboy54]

record cabin noise at 75mph then install and repeat

What you don't know is I'll record mine the day before and let you deal with all those HOT exhaust bolts and piping! lol jk

currently have the URD MK3 installed. have the borla sitting in my garage, probably wont install
and now a magnaflow on order.
wanted a bit more without drone. i drone like crazy right now.

I really hope that the URD Y-Pipe and the Magnaflow will be just right, you have me a little worried. I'm used to pretty loud exhaust so I might be ok. I have a 2008 350Z Nismo with a JIC magic full titanium exhaust. it's 80mm so closer to 4".... its pretty ridiculous, and the sad part is is still has all the cats, resonator and a silencer. "Fingers crossed!"

no Y pipes for me. But i am running a supercharger. The magnaflow should be fine? thats why i'm buying it lol
My URD 3" is too wide i think for this kind of vehicle.
Loud is ok, but i get drone.

My general rule for harbor freight tools are/is:

If you life depends on the tool don't buy it a harbor freight.

Don't by "accurate important" things like Torque Wrenches there.

Buy one from Tekton or Capri which isn't much more money and is a whole lot better... Lifetime Warranty.

Some tools are fine to go cheap on, Torque Wrenches aren't one of them.
Harbor Freight should not even be in the running when buying precision tools.

Torque Wrenches | TEKTON(R) | Free Shipping

End rant...

Now let's see and hear some of these exhausts... I want one!

Thanks for the link, I checked it out. Pretty good prices and I think I remember watching an interview with Tekton on one of the overland expo event videos. I'm still chomping at the bit waiting for my exhaust to get here. I'll have pics and my thoughts on it, ASAP!

I legit don't get the point in spending money on an exhaust system for an underpowered 6 cyl. If I could make it silent, I'd be stoked.

because like you said, it's under powered and I'm hoping it might help. Plus possible better MPG, better clearance, and hopefully lighter. That is what I'm looking forward to testing and hopefully getting out of it.

the only thing that helps enough to make a difference in power and MPG is a supercharger. I highly doubt you're going to be able to tell any difference at all in weight from an exhaust pipe on a 4800 lb vehicle.

I know it's apples and oranges, but when I replaced my exhaust on my 350z Nismo years ago, the power was VERY noticeable and my rear end lifted 2.5 inches from the weight difference. Yes, it was dual to single, and stainless to titanium. So very different, I also mentioned pairing the magnaflow with the URD y-pipe. which might make 2 other things disappear from the system, in hopes of more power and better MPG, when not romping on it. If I had the money to throw down right now on a supercharger and no regard for my warranty, I totally would... just not an option at the moment, so I settled for trying this route. You might be right, but I'll never know if I don't try, so hopefully others can learn from my experience. oh and BTW, I would argue a turbo is far more efficient then a supercharger, specifically talking MPG, but they have way more parts to break and way more finicky. I have been down that road and still own one vehicle that I turboed and honestly never want to do it again unless it's a Track built car.

that's not apples to oranges. it's not even the same sport, much less the same ballpark. a 350z weighs 1600 lbs less than a 4runner and has a MUCH better power to weight ratio. and I'm not talking about a turbo because AFAIK there isn't a turbo for a 4runner. there's a supercharger. you're wasting your money.

I’ve put 2 exhaust systems on my 4Runner, nothing makes a difference in power. The above statement is true. The only thing that makes a difference is a supercharger and it’s still a 4800 lb. pig! After wasting money on the exhaust, twice, I’m back to running OEM exhaust and love the silence.

Im trying to leave my OEM Pro exhaust if i can find silence. Just don't want the straight out back OEM exhaust. Like the Pro exhaust because it comes out passenger side.

The magnaflow, if it eliminates droning, that will be good enough for me. I am putting all the noise cancellation gadgets of this kit on and will see if it is true.

 

[Lostboy54]

I just plan on installing it, taking pics, and telling everyone what I think. I "HOPE" it gets better MPG, if not I will say so. Like I said, "It's just me testing it out and sharing."

Just curious, what exhausts did you try and what was the issue with them? I'm just curious. Thanks

 

[d1nguyen]

No worries, I decided to try after one member posted his review and corrected review. I am itching for the shipment notification right now.

 

[eevanskiteboards]

I have had the gibson exhaust for around 8 months now. I definitely noticed my mpgs increased by around 10% with the exhaust, for that I am pleased. I can't stand the sound though(horrible drone imo) and will definitely monitoring this forum to see how others like the magnaflow after a few months of use.

waiting for mine to ship. Has anyone else tried the other configurations? Wouldn't mind a little louder on the exterior sound, but the drone can be annoying sometimes on the TRD exhaust.

I got notification saying mine was scheduled to ship yesterday, I haven't received any more updates or a tracking number yet.

 

[Lostboy54]

I just got off the phone with Magnaflow, my order is suppose to ship either today or tomorrow morning. They said it was mostly due to production, covid, and the recent cold weather storms.
