TRD Exhaust - Available in 2020 M.Y.

Does anyone have this installed plus a aftermarket rear bumper? I'm curious to know how low the TRD exhaust sits with a high clearance rear bumper (any pictures with both installed would be greatly appreciated).

I'm hoping the TRD exhaust doesn't hang too low, since I have a high clearance C4 bumper...any suggestions on this/might take it to a shop to see what they can suggest.

I ordered both the TRD CAI and the TRD exhaust yesterday for Black Friday sales.

There will be a huge gap but should be an easy fix to the rear hanger to get it as close as you want.
 
Here is the comparison between TRD vs non TRD. As far as sound goes, the TRD is obviously a lot louder. In fact while driving through the mountains of Tennessee last week I found it a bit annoying. Since getting back to the panhandle of Florida I haven’t experienced any of the gear hunting, so I find it nice sounding. This is total subjective and it fits my needs where I live. If we move to a more mountainous area, then I will just have a resonator put in or a larger muffler.

Thanks for the trade btw!
Hope your “submarine” is doing well ;)

Not sure if this was posted somewhere, but thought these sound clips of the 4Runner TRD exhaust sound pretty accurate to what it sounds like in person, especially his 2nd clip from outside.

I’m pondering chucking the ‘pro’ exhaust too. I find the drone going up even a shallow grade is obnoxious. Around city it’s fine though.

Is there an easy way to just switch the muffler and cut the 3 prong flange and weld on a 2 piece to keep the tailpipe? Thinking of an incremental banishment rather than full catback swap to keep the cool tip... has anyone done anything other than just swap with another member?

I think I know the answer already but will this fit a ‘14?

I had the Magnaflow for a few years and the drone and sound at higher rpms finally got to me so I switched to the Gibson. While sound is spot on, the quality and fitment is lackluster. I had the TRD on my FJ so if that is any indication of what this one sounds like then I’m in.
 
Mine showed up tonight and there's a sticker on the carton "Attention - The installation instructions for this accessory are on the electronic Toyota Information System (TIS). Please see your Toyota dealer for a copy".

I don't really need the instructions but would be curious to see what the torque specs are. I saw Toyota stated 48 N-m (35 lb-ft) for the Taco unit, then I saw the youtube from SnailTrail4x4's Borla install, he used 20 lb-ft.

Haven't a chance to unpack but I suspect the donut gasket is not included. I suppose the existing one can be reused as ForRun indicated. Besides, TRD site shows two separate parts - PTR03-18131-AA & PTR03-89200-AA. The first one appears to fit the FRS as well while the latter is no where to be found. I just don't want to have everything apart only to find out I lack a lousy $10 part.

For those who had done the install, what is the consensus on the torque and gasket?


Hopefully this trd exhaust will fit a 2011 runner does anyone know?
also waiting for the 40% SALE!!!!!
 
Does anyone know if this trd exhaust will fit an 11? I would like to think so...?

So I installed the TRD Catback Exhaust PTR03-89200 on my 2016 SR5 with absolutely and I mean absolutely no problem what so ever. 30-minute max but I had a lift to do the work on the vehicle. I have gone to websites and they say it does not fit my year but that is definitely not true. I do not think there is any difference between 2011 and 2016 exhaust systems so I would think it should fit just fine. If you check the non-TRD Exhausts they are compatible from 2010 to 2020 I believe
 
Could you let me know if your stock exhaust is for sale?

Hi,
Are you looking for non-TRD stock exhaust? Mine just came off of a ORP this weekend with 500 miles on it. Was about put it on sale section. Send me your contact if interested. I'm in NYC metro area. Will not ship due to cost. Let's work something out?

That’s great to hear.
 
TRD Exhaust

Short story I bought my wife a 2020 AG TRD Pro and it didn't have the TRD Pro exhaust. My dealer got a new one in and installed last week. My wife said take it off I don't like the noise. I'm in North West Alabama on Smith Lake and will trade with someone with very very low mile stock exhaust + $300.00.

I have all the tools so the swap will be at my home. It needs to be on a weekend. Let me know if you want to make the trade. Aging it needs to be very low miles like under 1000.

I'm in the same boat. I'm not a fan of the noise so I would like to trade someone with 2020 stock exhaust + cash in Dallas, Texas.
