I seen used go for $600 or so on eBay. I saw one go for as low as $550. Be patient and look everyday on forums, local craigslist, and eBay to see if someone got it with a new frs and wants to get rid of it cause they hate it but came with car.

My dealership wanted $1,500 as well but I bought online for $900 and local shop charged me $60 to install.

@Calavera where did you find the exhaust for that price?? If you don't mind me asking

It's a well made exhaust...

but the TRD mid pipe is considerably smaller than the stock one.

So, I finally got around to doing this. I sold the TRD exhaust like a month ago, but I did record it with the stock headers and with the Borla UEL's on there. I finally edited the video a little while ago, and I'm going to upload it tonight while I sleep. So unless the upload gets interrupted, the video should be available in the morning.

The video is broken into four parts:

1. All stock with TRD catback
2. Borla UEL, Private Label Mfg. over pipe, OEM front pipe, TRD catback
3. Same, but Tomei 60R instead. Camera was too close so it's distorted all to shit.
4. Borla UEL, PLM over pipe, Tomei front pipe, Tomei 60R (my current and final setup)

I just threw the 4th part in there simply because I had the footage. The first 3 parts are parked revs and the last part is a drive by. So it's not much of a comparison, but I had the footage, so...
