honestly on that last one you might be able to just push it out. I just did so on a couple similar "oops" like that

Changed out stock muffler with 18" Magnaflo. Still cruises quiet but has a very nice grunt when I stick my foot in it! My mileage towing our R-POD went from 10.5 to 14.5 and low-end grunt is way better. :steer:

While towing, yes, about 1 MPG gain every day those numbers were calculated and not from trip computer.

Please provide part number! And, a picture never hurts either. TIA
 
I gained a lot of power with my exhaust. I am sure if I wasn't as built up as I am that would have gone right to mpg...but the loud noises make my right foot heavy.

Which one did you go with? Thinking about getting a cheap weld on muffler

It is a Magnaflo I will have to find the invoice at home for exact part number I also installed copper plugs when I first got my GX back in May. Copper delivers more spark energy all other things equal. I know they only last about 30% as long as iridium but they are very low priced and I cant remember an easier spark plug change in my 50 years of maintaining my own rigs. Cheers! :)

Did you mess with the headers? I feel like headers are still an unsolved problem. The calculus I'm doing/trying to do: replace cracked header with something stronger and legal (Dough Thorley?), keep all cats (because meow), replace hulking muffler, take exhaust to behind back wheel (because repeated departure angle munching). I thread-searched for a long time here and on other forums, and there is no known-good configuration I've found...any hints would be helpful. And, thank you.

I am out of my depth on these issues but I am sure some of our more hardcore brethren ( and "Sisteren" ) will be able to offer some worthy input. You might look at the Toyota truck sights as this engine was used in 3rd gen 4 runners as well as earlier tundras. Best of luck!

Awesome. Much obliged, Dude.
 
@DRANGED I lead wipe out hill at Cruise Moab and a few times if we finish early have taken the group out that way... that first climb (just after your 3) is pretty fun eh? Neat area back there, and usually a lot less traffic than some of the others.

I am confused. Originally you said 4mpg increase while towing and you answered the question to confirm 4 mpg. You then say 1 mpg increase towing. Did I miss something?
