I want to order the TRD Muffler from these guys. Are they reliable? I've only heard of TRDPARTS4U. Thanks.

Yes, they are the parts center at a dealership, can't remember which one off the top of my head, but I've done business with them.

Okay, thanks. Reason I bought the muffler from Sparks instead of TRDPARTS4U was because the picture of the muffler on their website resembled the muffler with the TRD logo on top (oval), which is what most people seem to prefer around here. Will report back once I get it. :D

By the way, how fast is their shipping? I ordered today and I am in La Jolla. I got the FedEx Ground Residential. Hopefully they will ship tomorrow.

They sell TRD parts, so it's a TRD muffler. Is that what you were asking? Yea, they got some good price. Plus, no sales tax, so I saved $50.

there is probably a company, like borla or Warner, that is making that TRD muffler. It is made for Toyota, and labeled by Toyota, but it is manufactured by someone else. I want to know who that someone else is, so i can get a muffler from them. I cannot find a replacement bolt on muffler, other than the TRD muffler.

thanks. I will call borla tomorrow and see if I can set my company up as a distributor. Maybe I can buy some TRD mufflers at a cheaper price?

I will try and remember tomorrow.
