TRD exhaust, need same sound but aftermarket

I like the sound of the TRD exhaust but don't like the price. Anyone have a similar sounding Cat Back setup that is close to the TRD sound?

thanks!

You're looking for a very deep bass sound that's not super loud at WOT. My buddy has an MXP Comp RS that also sounds very deep at idle, but changes at speed to a higher note. He previously was running a Nameless axleback which is also quite bassy and a good price.

I'd recommend checking for a TRD catback being sold used if that's the exhaust you really want. They typically go for around $500-$600 used, but I just sold one for $400. I think there's one for sale on the board right now.

In my opinion, TRD exhaust is worth it. Don't cheap out on an exhaust system or else you'll get what you paid for and it won't last you very long.

Thanks for the videos! I actually watch this guy review different cars which he does good but this one seems 5 minutes too long but the points he makes is good. I'll probably get the TRD and if I want something more I'll add a UEL pipe down the road.
