V8 Exhaust Sound and Video Clip Compilation Thread

[bigwebb83]

Ok so I've been to this rodeo before with other cars. Newbs come on the forum and want to know which exhaust is the best. Everyone then tells them its a matter of preference and that really what you are paying for with an exhaust is sound (not performance). Then they invariably send them off to the interwebs to search for clips. I've decided to try and get a thread going here where we can compile sound and video clips of different V8 exhaust options for the 4th gen 4unner. If someone has already posted up your particular exhaust feel free to post again as some cameras/recording devices are not set properly or in the proper location to pick up the true sound and some people only make a clip of the truck revving in park etc.

So go ahead, post em up!!!

I thought this was a pretty good one and helped me decide on my exhaust choice.

2005 4Runner 4.7 V8 with a 2.5" 50-Series SUV Flowmaster muffler turned out with a double walled tip.

Relatively quite unless you step on it.

haha. I though you were getting pulled over!olice:

here's one for the gibson. It didn't come out well because there's to much distortion from aitflow... anyone else know of a better example for gibson?

here is a magnaflow exhaust system on an 03 v8

 

[bigwebb83]

A little loud for my taste but I'll throw it in there. This is a true dual setup with flowmasters and high flow cats

 

[bigwebb83]

finally some good Magnaflow clips. This truck also has the Volant CAI.

Here are some more clips and also a small writeup of what I think of the Magnaflow and Volant.

I liked the flowmaster 50 series

 

[bigwebb83]

is it sticky worthy yet?

Yeah, it was CAFROG's vid that was the deciding factor for me to go with the Flowmaster 50. Gotta listen to it with ear phones to do it justice though.

I personally think you have to listen to them all in person before choosing because the Magnaflow sounds a little more tame(not as deep sounding) in my videos vs in person. Plus in videos you can make it sound a lot different depending on the placement of the camera, surroundings, etc.

I think it would be if it would include v6's as well....more of a "master thread"

 

[4RBob]

fyi - Walker Quiet Flow is a nice OE replacement for those that want a sound similar to stock, but don't want to pay OE price.

if the mods want to change the title to that I'm all for it!!

 

[bigwebb83]

Getting my magnaflow catback installed today. Can't wait!!! I got it for 500 shipped from a company called overstock auto on ebay.

true dual exhuast with bypass mufflers. wings nuts and cover
on (like in the pic) equals a
nice quiet ride. take them off and
I have true dual straight pipes! so nice to be able to choose if I want to be loud as crap or really quiet ha.

 

[bigwebb83]

I just want to say that judging from the videos I watched before the purchase of my exhaust and my video I think it's impossible to capture how a deep throaty exhaust sounds on a vdieo camera. That being said here are some quick clips I strung together from my Magnaflow.
