TRD Exhaust

I found a great deal on a TRD exhaust and picked one up. Since Larry had installed his already, and I liked the look, I decided to put one on mine.

It took about 2 hours including using the rotary tool to break off the rear bolts which was the first thing I did. The front bolts with the springs were easy to take off. Next, after the 4 bolts were removed, I took some silicone spray and sprayed the rubber hangers. They were a breeze to take off. Then all that was necessary was to put the new TRD exhaust in place and hang it. The four bolts were very easy to install along with the rear gasket.

This is a picture of where the front part of the exhaust is bolted to the old pipes. The two bolts are spring loaded and torqued to spec.

This is a pic of the new muffler. The heat shield above doesn't need to be so large now. This TRD muffler is much smaller than the stock.

This is the rear pipe that bends over the rear axle. The right hand side is the tip shown in the following picture.

And finally the TRD tip. Nice!
