in idle mode, you can barely hear it when ur next to the exhaust. the more rpm, the louder the exhaust is. when you floor it, it roars beautifully. not too loud, not too quiet.

ok well one more quick question cause i noticed i can probolly get the megan oe-rs catback system for the price of a new trd axelback. and im curious putting the midpipe with the megan does it give it any sound at all. cause i mean from the looks there is no sound out of that thing with the axelback.

Hey Killa, Monday if I have time ill take a video of the custom 2.5inch catback magnaflow with the cutout valve closed. It sounds meaner than the TRD to be honest, ive drove next to one. The magnaflow sounds like just a motor reving..but amplified(according to my friends who drive a vette and GTO) You might wanna check out tsudo or see if corksport sells an axleback for a more beefy cruising sound. But when it comes to sounding good at high rpms..thats what the magnaflow is designed for. And then ill split the clip and show you what it sounds like with the cutout valve open which someone told me today sounds like a subie...he drives a 04 z06. I took out the stock resonator FYI.

yea that works man. would love to hear what that sounds like. as for just basic cruising speeds i have the tsudo axeback installed. reason im switching to trd is because i want somthing more stock looking. so i can stop getting random looks from the cops.

This thread is very biased from people chiming in with the exhausts that they have. Naturally, people are going to like what they have and they are going to advertise it as being your best option.
With that being said, it's ok to hear what people have to say, just make sure that in the end it's something you want and not something you have been persuaded to buy.
And if I could give my .02, adding a mid-pipe with the Megan OE will not give it a noticeable difference.
If you want the closest possible OEM looking exhaust out there then it definitely is TRD hands down, nothing can compare to the OEM look like the TRD, but if you want to gain more noticeable sound with your exhaust and have it still look somewhat OEM, there are other options out there.
And if financial reasons are why you're holding back on a certain exhaust, then wait and save up. If it's something you really want, it will be worth it in the end.

I have a TRD exhaust with an Injen CAI and it sounds real nice. Everyone I know loves the sound of the exhaust and I've never had someone say somthing bad about it. It's not super loud or ricey sounding, but when you roll by someone they can definantly tell that car has something extra in it. It may be more expensive than the other brands but your car will sound nice and you'll keep your warrenty if for some reason somthing goes wrong due to the exhaust.

pmed you back. yea the trd sounds great i have friends that have it around me. and im not saying it doesnt. i have wanted the greddy more then the trd so to be honest im probolly going to just spend a little more and go ahead and go with the greddy since its actually what i want. so but i love the trd exhaust just im going for somthing with a little more of a look to it. but while still have a stock look.
