TRD performance exhaust installed.

Mpg up .1 to 17.8. It’s been climbing with the warmer weather. It would seem that at least the exhaust is not interfering with that. I’ll have to check to see what it’s doing on the morning trips to the office. I forgot to check today.

I just purchased mine. I thought about the Magnaflow but decided to stick with Toyota parts.
 
I finally had the exhaust installed today.

So first let me just say that I may very well be an outlier on this, because if I'm honest I absolutely hated that sewing machine sound of the stock exhaust. I have to say that I felt a tremendous relief hearing that sound gone.

That said the other thing that concerned me in making this change was that it would be too loud. I mean it's a Landcruiser I did not want it sound obnoxious. And at least for me it does not. It is a nice deep guttural sound that to my ear is how I imagined this machine should sound.

If I gain any more insights on the sound I will follow up.

As far as the installation, I made a few calls and the pricing varied wildly. I had it done by a local muffler shop, they did the install in less than an hour and they charged very little.
Good to know. That exhaust is at my dealer waiting for my LC 250 to arrive.
 
These exhausts aren’t going to ever provide any HP increase that anyone would ever notice. Not many stock engine:/vehicles are going to respond in any other way than a different exhaust sound.
