LED LIGHTS AND CAT BACK RECOMMENDATIONS

[THALEY]

Hello everyone, I have not been on the forum in a while, but I'm hoping that doesn't prevent you all from offering some advice.

I have some decison fatique from internet searches and searching the post on MUD. What I need to know is this;

Interior LED Blub package. Any recommendation on who I should order from? So many option online, and I really dont know much at all about the difference in the blubs. Is there someone on here that sells packages for interior LED bulb replacements? I'd rather give money to somone in the community. Let me know, links appreciated.

Secondly and most importantly, I need a cat back replacement exhaust. I don't care too much about improving the sound. Infact, I prefer it to stay about the same a the stock sound. I have an LX 470, and intent to upgrade the exhause headers and all. Right now though I ripped up my muffler and need to make the swap cat back now. Thus, what should I look at? Can I go 3" cat back, and them upgrade high flow cats and headers later? Help me make this decison as easy as possible. I would love to order something today, as I can't drive my LX until I get it fixed. Magnaflow, MachFORCE, Doug Thorley, Borla, Factory....many options out there.

I am in the middle of Colorado so if there is a shop around here locally, maybe I work with them directly on a custom exhaust....Just trying to figure out whats best.

Thanks in advance everyone.

Replacement vendor for pfran led?

So evidently Pfran went into early retirement funded by the unfulfilled orders of mud members. I know that you can order bulbs on amazon, and I have searched this forums to no avail. I’m looking for a full kit for led conversion. What I liked about pfran is the boards he made. Is there a...

With respects to the exhaust, my truck has exact what you are asking. Stock exhaust manifold and cats, into a 3inch cat back exhaust system.
It looks like the installer cut the flange off downstream of the cat to get the new flanges to marry up, but it all works fine.

It's on my list of upgrades that once the muffler rusts out, I'll do a full extractor and high flow cats replacement. But for now I have to stop spending money on toys!

I have the Borla cat back exhaust. It’s not overly loud and it doesn’t have a drone cruising at highway speeds. I also have DT headers waiting to be installed due to a leaking driver side exhaust manifold.

Doug Thorley Cat back is definitely loud and drones at 2k...

Contact @ToyotaMatt for LED bulbs. That's the way I'd go.

 

[THALEY]

Got the lights on order. Thanks everyone.

I know for sure I don't want the loud or the drone. So perhaps I stick with the stock set up?

What am I loosing out on if I do?

A little late to the party. After several smashed exhaust tips, I decided to reroute the exhaust. I put in a Magnaflow muffler, totally removed the resonator and my exhaust tip now goes out directly behind the passanger rear tire. Much less chance of bottoming out on the rear end and smashing the exhaust tip. BTW, I also installed a Slee rear bumper and moved the spare to the back instead of underneath, a lot more clearance. It is a little more throaty but not annoying.
