TRD exhaust has arrived

KellyJ said:
I know I overpaid for the exhaust but I really had no choice. I wrote this over on YT after someone decided they point out that I had just wasted $600:

"I honestly don't care if people consider it a "waste" to buy the TRD or any exhaust system. Not to sound like a prick, but it's my money and I feel entitled to spend it as I please. I needed a new exhaust quickly after my old Dynomax rusted out and didn't have the time (2+ weeks) any shops quoted me to get one made. Plus, only one of 5 shops in my area said they would even build me an exhaust. So I decided to not deal with that, cough up the dough to get something that I know will last. It sounds great, and I'm sure that I will never have to deal with replacing the exhaust system (cats excluded, I just don't know how long they are supposed to last) for the rest of the life of my truck."

dude those yota tech folks are harsh sometimes. bUt see, you can at least ride a trd sticker on your car if you wanted to, and have something to show for it. Ive got trd on the side but ive got nothing trd my Runner. I dont even know why i have the name haha!! It would be my dream to covert everything to trd but its a little out of my price range. but ya man you got good quality on there, you should get that bad A looking TRD intake too. that would make it even sound meaner!!! good stuff... it all looks good!

Boiler Up! I just graduated from Purdue in May '08. Is that snow picture taken at Purdue, and if so where?

Nope, actually it was taken in McLean, about 5 minutes from my house. I went to Purdue last year but transferred out,

CoB, the exhaust was a bolt on kit- it came in two pieces and had one small parts bag. I pretty much reused most of the OEM bolts that it said to, but replaced a few due to rust

And GottabeTRD thanks for the compliments, yeah YT people are pretty prickish but I can't let a few naysayers ruin my overall opinion of the site
 
I guess I should have added a ;): since I didn't mean it maliciously and was teasing a bit. It's well known that TRD stuff is a bit overpriced and it's good for members to know the facts and choices concerning aftermarket parts. If I had money to throw around I'd probably already be sporting a TRD exhaust too.

Also don't blanket the YT crowd as "prickish" since just a few bad seeds don't make a forum which I'm glad you see that;YT is more aimed at the "function over form" crowd and you won't see 22" wheels on that site being discussed all over the place and it's primarily a bit older guys and older Toyotas so I feel both these sites co-exist nicely and compliment each other to encompass anything and everything you'd need to know about Toyota trucks.

They don't bash this site so please don't allow anybody to bash them as alot of members here are members there too,myself included and I enjoy both sites.

Peace. :bigok:

I'm a member of YT as well, I guess I should have added in "some people at YT" and not all, because the majority of people who are members of that site are very helpful. Just a few that like to push buttons. Not judging them here:)
