Toyota Exhaust Examples and Information

Magnaflow Muffler on 4runnerThinking of upgrading your stock Toyota exhaust? Toyota's small engines (small compared to domestic v8 engines) perform best with back pressure. That's why they come from the factory with smal exhaust pipes. Top end power comes from free flowing exhaust, but low end torque, which is good to have when off roading, comes from a slightly restrictive exhaust that creates backpressure.

Once you've decided with what size of exhaust pipe to go with, you need to decide on a muffler. Here is a page with video and audio samples of different mufflers on Toyota vehicles.
