50$ says it sounds exactly like the trd? Who's wagein?
I'm thinking of buying one and a CAI. Let us know what the mileage increase is please. I think I already know what the performance will be- NICE!
Thanks,

I have the CAI (AFE) already installed and I am very happy with the sound. Only had it for about 1 tank so not sure about any MPG gain with the CAI. Will post some pics of the exhaust and will update the site on any performance / MPG gains...
You will definitely lose your $50.
This is 3" exhaust system.
AFE doe's not make the TRD exhaust, but they do make the TRD CAI.
p.s. Heard this exhaust a few weeks back on the AFE FJC.. sounds awesome!
My pipeing measures 3"...? Then again I've cut and sliced my exhaust system so many damn times I have no idea what the original pipe size was. But, either way, 3.0" pipeing when the rest of the exhaust system (manifold\y-pipe or whatever you have) is 2.5"....so whatever.

not again....
God, I EVEN HATE TO RAISE THE ISSUE-or I'll be called a"debater" again.....but, I hope you love that AFE SYSTEM WHEN INSTALLED. I went with some full length(long tube) headers, and kept the TRD 2 1/2" exhaust pipe.Huge improvement over the stock manifolds....but I'm told that the TRD should be replaced with a 3".I have a 2 1/2" "custom "y" piece(where the 2 into 1 section is pipe fitted , not pinched together)and then the TRD FROM THAT POINT BACK.As is, the exhaust (tail pipe) section gets REALLY HOT now comparitively(from before the headers were installed), this leads me to believe, as I have been told by several performance exhaust specialists, that I need to have more diameter in my tailpipe section.My intake is 3"tube staight into the throttle body(stock box removed) from a cabin air feed.The Spectre long cone filter, has a 2 1/2" cold air penetrator, feeding the end of the cone, in a boxed CAI ENCLOSURE isnstalled on the right fender well.The seemingly high rise in exhaust pipe temp leads me to believe that I NEED TO RAISE the exhaust pipe diameter to 3". I could probably just install a cherry bomb....but have been advised by others(who do this for a living-2 of which are "racing"oriented shops) to go 3" straight back.IDGASWNHBS.

Awesome! Can't wait to hear how you like it once it is installed. Enjoy!!!
I don't like you.
