Best Muffler for the FJ40

[Farmboy]

Any thoughts, my fj40 needs a new muffler, thanks to the mouse nest built in the exhaust. Any thoughts?

Welcome.


I have an 'exhaust guy' that takes care of a lot of the trucks around here, and he just installes a generic, quite muffler, up and out of the way.

There is nothing speacial about any of them, unless you are looking for the rap of a glass pack....


Good luck!

Borla!

I picked up an all aluminum Borla on EGay. Origianl application was for UPS trucks. It was like $75 delivered and will last forever. Dual cased design.

cherry bomb...$40 at checker auto. Ok actually my Dad ran one on the 69 he had and somehow he managed to make it quieter but it ran better that way...don't know if it is still there...long story.

3 for stock. Long story short. I had a flowmaster installed and I had the hardtop and like the sound. People asked if it had a v8. It was not too loud but did have a nice tone to it. Top came off and I got tired of listening to the noise and had it removed. I went back to stock. I Like it much better. Now since you are up north I'm not sure how well it will hold up in the winter. I would go stainless if you can.

those of you with flowmasters, do you have 1-in-2-out, or 1 and 1?

They are all stainless steel... still have a few remaining.

Magnaflow Turbo

Great low end sound and then quiets down as you move up the rpm band.

Affordable.

Flowmasters sound damn good. Not only that, but you can get them in stainless. The welded case with the 'sound deflectors' also adds some resiliency to crushing when your running trails. But hey, you could crush four mufflers from summit and still not be over the price of a stainless flowmaster. I run a flowmaster and love it. Before this, I ran a cherry bomb which was not only louder than my flowmaster, but really raspy and high pitched. But they are 30 bucks, not 80.
