OEM Replacement Muffler/Exhaust

[Snugg]

Hey everybody! Attempted a search but apparently I didn't have any luck.

I'm looking to remove my Magnaflow Performance Muffler and I want to go back to a stock sound. Does anybody know the brand of OEM mufflers that came on 4th gens with a 4.7? Right now I have the stainless MF 36". Removed my rear resonator and turned the tail pipe out to the side. Don't get me wrong, this thing sounds like a beast! However, I want it to be quiet now.

The ones I found are:
Bosal
Ansa
Walker

I'll be replacing from just behind the cat and back to the tailpipe. If anybody has some experience, I'm looking for the most quiet I can get it. Thanks in advance.

PS, Once I get a replacement system, I'll likely be selling my Magnaflow performance muffler. I'll try to get a sound clip in the next couple of days.

I would try a junk yard for the stock exhaust. In my experience after market OE replacement parts are not always the greatest.

That's a decent idea however I would rather buy new. This way I can ensure the least amount of exhaust noise as an end result.
Worse case, I can order a genuine factory muffler from a Toyota Part house or dealership. I'll just have to pay double is all. Roughly $560 for muffler assembly and tailpipe.

I replaced stock with a walker. There is a link to the write up from my signature.

I went with a Walker as well. Ordered from Advance auto using speedperks and coupons you can find for online orders. Holding up well for the past year. You can also find on Amazon for similar price. I chose Advance just for easy warranty replacement (if needed).

Thanks for the write-up. After reading reviews on most all OEM stock muffler replacements, I decided to go with Walker. It seems the quality is a bit higher than Ansa or Bosal for our particular application.
I'm excited to have a quieter ride!

Everything cost less than $250 to buy which is awesome. I'll be giving it a good coat of rust prevention heat paint for sure. I might also cut my new tailpipe section and bend it to the side/corner to alleviate exhaust smell in the back for when the window is down a bit. I have a welder in the garage that I have never used yet and it could be a fun project.

I'll post before and after vid clips so everybody can hear the difference.
