trd muffler... please!!!

[PhreakdOut]

Are there any other mufflers other than the TRD muffler available for around or near the TRD's $400 retail price? I'm thinking about going for an hks, greddy, or something but i have a feeling since the trd muffler is designed for the solara, the universal ones might suck.

I haven't seen any other mufflers yet. I just recorded my TRD exhaust on video. (Combined with the induction noise from my Injen Intake, the sound is great.)

As for the muffler's design, the fit is great. The tip is perfect for those with an SE sport. It exits at the correct length instead of the factory tip being set back 3". The width of the tip fills the opening of the body kit. Exposing the TRD logo on the top of the tip.

You can go with a universal, but a word of caution. The TRD tip is a resonator style. Many universals have straight tips with no acoustic packing. (The TRD tip has perforated holes in the pipe and glass wool packed inside.) What this does is eliminate the air rush sound on WOT acceleration. This is not a pretty sound. I liken it to a vacuum cleaner in reverse.

If I can get this DVD video edited and converted to an MPEG, I'll post it up. The wife is going to bring home Adobe Premier from her work so I can get this done.

I finally got the .WAV file posted. This doesn't do it any justice.

Here's the link to the thread where I posted the file's location.
