After owning my TRD exhaust for 2 years I have discovered a problem with it. The exhaust note changed recently so I decided to do a little poking around. My car had the exhaust installed at delivery and it has ~50000km on it. Here is a video I took with my inspection scope (sorry for the crappy quality)

The resonator is all broken up inside and is partially blocking the exhaust. There is only one MINOR scratch on the exterior of the resonator so this was not caused by misuse or impact. I have thought about going through the warranty process but I will be making a custom mid-pipe instead to get rid of the 2" section. Details on the upgrade with a sound comparison to come.
