Carven
4.8
(9)
"I have the carven and I love it!"
"That's what I have and I absolutely love it."
"Carven did good tuning their tacoma exhausts. Very balanced tone and volumes throughout."
"I have the carven as well . And I agree with this. Sounds great"
"No drone, thats one of the main reasons I went with the Carven exhaust. IMO the Carven is one of the more balanced exhausts for the tacoma regarding loudness and tone."
"Carven Exhasut! Had MBRP and hated it. Carven has their Sh*$ dialed in!"
"Carven exhaust"
"Has every exhaust you can possibly ever want, pick the one that you think sounds the best and go with that. Personally I have the carven."
"I was just looking at the carven earlier. I dig the sound quite a bit."
#2
Yonaka
4.1
(10)
"The yonaka sounds awesome and the price is unbeatable"
"Had good luck with Yonaka. Nice sound and reasonable price."
"I second this, they also have a nice Axleback version as well"
"A little late but Yonaka sounds really nice."
"I installed the yonaka on new year's eve and i've enjoyed it. it's pretty quiet which is good for being my daily driver and spending an hour everyday at 3k rpm with my commute."
"Yonaka is great value for the money, it’s a cheaper invidia q600"
"I have the yonaka exhaust, stock headers pretty solid not too loud and pretty affordable."
"Sounds/looks nice."
"Have the Yonaka on my B-Series & really like the tone."
"For a d series, I would go with a yonaka cat back. It's like a rumble without being stupid loud"
#3
AWE
4.1
(10)
"I heard an AWE system while I was shopping C7s. Instantly a fan."
"+1 for the AWE high clearance with bash plate."
"I like my AWE cat back system."
"I'd go with the AWE true dual exhaust."
"It was pretty loud though, but didn’t drone"
"If you like more rumble with deeper tone, go for AWE."
"I’ve heard a lot of good things about the AWE touring version exhaust."
"I have the nonres track with stock downpipe, sounds great on cold start and higher revs, but there is some drone."
"I have awe track non res it's good not much drone surprisingly but enough to hear it."
"Touring is good. A biiiit quiet. But I didn't want drone."
#4
Borla
4.2
(9)
"I’ve had the Borla Atak on my VN for 4 weeks now. Normal mode is pretty much just as quiet as stock. N mode is the perfect enhancement over stock."
"Is the best option."
"Borla Atak, gives a nice deep American V8 Sound with valve control."
"Absolutely love my Borla Atak on the C8."
"Borla sounds really nice."
"Borla, Nameless Performance, Crawford, Bosal, Magnaflow all make exhausts"
"The borla with a downpipe is still kinda noisy in normal. Without a downpipe is fine prob"
"Same experience with borla on my EN. Installed 3 weeks ago as well"
"Borla is LOUD in N mode and average in normal mode"
#5
HKS
4.4
(7)
"The HKS Super Sound Master with a test pipe has been the best exhaust setup I purchased and heard. No drone at all and the noise it makes when you crack vtec is sex in your ears."
"I like my HKS Hi-Power Dual Exhaust."
"The burbles and pops sound sexy."
"Nobody saying HKS Dual in here? I love mine. Took me a little to get over the little bit of 3k RPM drone, but i love it now."
"Hks super sound master"
"Have had my eyes on either the hks ssm or t1r. been debating for months and still cant make up my mind."
"For the money, hks and berk singles are some pretty good exhausts, but they are a little loud"
#6
Flowmaster
3.9
(7)
"I LOVE my flow master Outlaw cat-back."
"Flow Master gives a good throaty growl but can drone a bit at highway speed."
"Has a little nice little growl."
"Mine sounds awesome not crazy loud either."
"That’s the way to go, that’s my favorite muffler series along with the super 40 which I had on my 3.5 and it sounded decent for what it is"
"When I had a third gen I put a flowmaster super 40 on it, replacing the factory muffler and it sounded pretty good at low RPM, and it wasn’t offensive in the higher RPM range but it’s a v6, it isn’t going to impress people."
"Its a V6 so its gonna sound like shit if you get Flowmasters or anything of that sort. You'll sound like a pissed of bumble bee. If anything do the TRD exhaust."
#7
Corsa
5.0
(5)
"I have Corsa and am very pleased."
"It was my favorite sounding exhaust by far."
"I loved my Corsa Extremes when I had them on my Z06."
"My corsa sounds amazing."
"If you wanna pay over 2k on a full exhaust kit, corsa sounds great."
#8
Akrapovic
4.6
(5)
"Akrapovic"
"Surely you'd want to include Akrapovic, Yoshimura, SC Project, Arrow, Termignoni, etc."
"The only 100% approved one by Yamaha is the Akra full system."
"I've had the Akropovic slip on for about 4 years now... it's agreed by my two friends who also have R3s that it's the best sounding slip on."
"Sounds just like the stock exhaust but looks a lot better."
#9
Tanabe
3.8
(5)
"I have tanabe medallion on my 06 6MT. Sounds kinda like a WRX."
"Tanabe is the gentleman's choice"
"Tanabe Medallion Touring. Just the right amount of bass, not too loud for your neighbors."
"The Tanabe is probably the best overall as far as sounding OEM +."
"The tanabe is also a good choice but have heard very mixed reviews on its new producer, revel."
#10
Fujitsubo
4.5
(4)
"Fujitsubo legalis R is the oem ++ exhaust, what oem shoulda been. Quiet when cruising but opens up when you give er the beans, its great."
"My favorite is the Fujitsubo Legalis R. Perfect dB levels for a street car, not too flashy, and JASMA certified (street legal in Japan, irrelevant outside of the country but cool imo)."
"Fujitusbo for deep town type of sound.
HKS SSM for a bit of a unique sound."
"Fujitsubo"
#11
TRD
3.4
(5)
"TRD , sounds good if you don’t want something all loud."
"The TRD one suffices just fine."
"TRD exhaust from toyotas the best for the price. MBRP is garbage and rusts out, anything else is either the same price and drones too much or more expensive and too obnoxious for others."
"Theres one that runs around my town with a TRD exhaust and it sounds decent theres another with a big Flowmaster sticker on the back window that sounds like hot garbage."
"I have the TRD exhaust and revving it sounds like ass."
#12
Nameless
4.7
(3)
"Got a 5" recently for my 2020 manual, love it ! Just the right amount of sound without being too much"
"I have the 5" muffler version on my 2018. Very impressed with the build quality."
"I also just bought a 5" muffler version from nameless, hopefully will be here in the next week."
#13
Delkevic
4.3
(3)
"I like my Delkevic the most."
"I have the Delkevic DL10 14” carbon muffler, personally I found the slash cut too loud and a bit raw."
"Sounds good but I’ve beat it up some."
#14
Greddy
4.3
(3)
"Greddy TI-C 70mm single exhaust was the best I heard and had it on mine but unfortunately they stopped production on them for some time now"
"You need to get a little higher in price for one that doesn't drone as much. Like greddy or fujitsubu."
"Greddy makes a nice single exit"
#15
MBRP
4.3
(3)
"The MBRP pro is $500 and has a lifetime warranty and is rust proof."
"I have an MBRP exhaust and in normal/eco mode it's quiet enough that I don't feel bad driving through my neighborhood."
"I’m running a MBRP cat back exhaust on the exact same car performance blue ELANTRA N 25, I enjoy it."
