Got my TRD exhaust out of the dealer 9 months ago. Barley put the TRD CAI yesterday. Definitely a more noticeable growl now. Plus, makes the engine bay look more sexy

Sounds like (pun fully intended) if you want improved sound and better looks, you get the TRD CAI Intake. If you want HP, you should probably look somewhere else.

Pertaining to the TRD Exhaust, is this single tips or dual?

I have the TRD Exhaust... I wish the tips weren't half circles, but other than that its alright.

I love my TRD exhaust. Great sound and that's all I wanted. I know they are expensive, but I checked Youtube for days and it was the best sounding to my ears. For CAI, I decided to skip it after seeing dyno charts. I got a K&N for 50$ at my local shop. Most drop-in filters give 75% of the gains of a CAI for 20% of the price.

I think he meant the dual or the jdm TRD which has 4 tips. "Dual" on each side.

Is that right

MarcFr-s · 01-13-2014, 12:32 AM

I'm happy with the TRD exhaust, came with the car. Added the TRD intake, may not have the biggest gains but got a good deal and it's the only CARB approved intake. I plan on keeping this car for awhile. Got a little more throttle response out of it and love how it cleans up the engine bay by getting rid of all that sound tube crap. Car runs and sounds great too.

installing a cai in this car is cake. I could do it for you if you wanted...
granted I don't know what that would mean warranty-wise.

wulfstan · 01-13-2014, 07:32 PM

Yes, my question is if anyone has installed the TRD GT86 dual tip High Response Muffler Ver. R,
vs.
US TRD single tip exhaust.

My ultimate goal is the TRD Body kit, which uses the Japan Exhaust...
