Exhaust tip mod
Sorry about not having pics.
The shop finally got the correct tip in and installed. Used the MagnaFlow #35170 (just like Momo above) and it looks great! Confirmed that the entire exhaust is stainless.
Also no difference in sound. The resonator is probably there to pass some vehicle design exterior noise test that the driver wouldn't care about. The watermelon was exactly that: full of exhaust condensate water.
This mod will also help against the exhaust smell (getting in the open back window) that has been written about in other threads.
Thanks again Momo for all your help.

Do it
Go for it!
They changed from the side exit because they had to put the resonator but it doesn't do squat except look bad.
Get a good custom shop (not a chain shop) to do the work in stainless.
Also noticed while it was on the hoist that there are 2 tapped holes above the stock exhaust exit point. You can attach another rear tow loop (this will also balance out the rear look now that the pipe is gone.) Off to the parts counter we go...

I was just wondering how much this cost including install and what kind of show do you get this done at?

Cost
Tip and installation cost me $190 Loonies in CAN (~U$145). The tip itself retail was $160 (U$120) but I got a break. I'm not sure where you are but you should be able to find a custom exhaust shop that will bend and weld stainless steel as well as order the part. A lot of chain shops can't but might say they can. The honest one's might be able to direct you to someone who can.
Hope this helps.

Will a Magnaflow clear the WAAG Rear bumper guard?
Well, does anyone know WHERE exactly the magnaflow cat back exits the rear? I know it's passenger side, but how close to the muffler?
THe reason I ask is I have the WAAG rear bumper guard, and it attaches like so down below. . .
From the looks of it, I won't be able to put on ANY cat back exhaust. . .since the rear bumper guard bolts on so close to the stock exhaust muffler location. . .HELP!!

Wow...that looks totally sick (how'd I do, kids? sick is good, right?)
All of the magnaflow tips are here.
I really want to add a catback, but fishwife would probably divorce me if I do a loud exhaust on this truck. She hated riding in my V8 Jeep with a Borla catback. A little bling never hurt anybody tho.
Does anybody have any sound files of various exhaust systems on V8 4runners? I'd love to hear the Borla, TRD, and Magnaflow systems.

Thanks. I would like to have a little more growl to it, but since I use it for work driving people around, I didn't want it any louder. I just wanted to do away with the shotgun barrel look or it sticking out the back.
ssmumich00, yeah, I had seen that pick a while back. I think you took that one right before a rain storm or something. I am still thinking about a brush guard, btu can't decide. I would love to see one in person.

Pics galore, you ask and you shall receive. . .
Of course, the first is of the rear bumper guard and exhaust, NOW can anyone tell me if the magnaflow will clear where the bumper guard attaches. . .??
The rest are for momo, here are the front and side shots of my baby after she was cleaned FOR YOU so you can see what WAAG has to offer. . .

I just started noticing this more recently,I think the grill must lower the front almost three inches or more. . .

I finally made the brackets to hold the lights on there, but I don't have them on right now. I think I am going to have them wired up, so that when we are taking it out of town, I can put the lights on it. Right now I can put the brackets and lights on in about 5 minutes.

Thanks. It is strange, sometimes I look at the pics and think I like it and sometimes I dont. I would like to make new brackets that would dip down a little, so the lights would be centered in that lower grill section, but I have been slammed with work. Here is a link with some larger photos.
