I have a megan drift spec catback exhasut. I know you want axleback but for soem of the prices of axelebacks you can get this catback exhaust. I love it. Its gotta a nice lil burble when you downshift to slow down. Its not ricer sounding. It is kinda loud but hey i love it.

yea i mean the megan is a good exhaust and sounds good. have a couple friends with the megans, and hks. which are both great sounding exhaust. i just want to get away from the canister route and go with somthing more stock looking. already got pulled over twice with the tsudo luckly they were just warning. so mainly was looking for somthing less noticable lol. reason i might just stick with trd. since i can get it used for a pretty decent price.

Sucks you live in a part of va that is strict on exhaust, I haven't had any trouble. Now they kill me with the window tint but nothing else.

I love my TRD, great throaty/rumble sound would like it a little louder (add mid or s-pipe to make louder maybe) but I really like the way the Greddy SP2 looks, don't know how it sounds tho.

^^I live in a good area as far as county cops, but va state cops suck. I never drive on the highway unless I have too. I actually got busted twice in 1 day for window tint going down to that area.

TRD all the way.

If you got the extra money buy it straight from a dealership like i did.
Also have them install it. I got pulled over for the TRD exhaust and
the cop was telling me it was illegal but when i pulled out the paper
showing that Scion installed the exhaust he didnt have a choice but
to let me go since they can only install parts that are legal for the roads.

WARNING: If you have the dealership install it tell them you want your stock
exhaust back or they wont give it to you. Even though the TRD is legal so you
wont need your stock exhaust.

na im not a fan of the injen to be honest. the trd is the way im going soon as i get it. not going to have the dealer do it. im just going to install it myself. wont cost anything to install that way. and no need to try and keep the stock exhaust its already off the car and in the storage. bascially im switching from the tsudo to the trd.

im with you brother, i want the TRD axleback so bad i can taste it. it sounds great! i know it isn't worth much (if any) power, but what bolt-on is? it's an easy to install, great sounding, reasonably priced Toyota part. how can i complain?
