Re: Exhaust: TRD or Stock

FJC previously said:
Since I don't have the regular exhaust, I was hoping someone could answer me this. Sometimes I find that the TRD exhaust note (very ricer like) is a bit annoying. Other times I am so accostomed to hearing it, it doesn't bother me. But, after some examination, I was wondering about the difference in the oem reg exaust, and the TRD. Is there really any difference besides the tip? Also, what if I just cut the tip off (minds out of the gutters please!)? Would that make it any quieter?
First FJ I test drove had the TRD exhaust on it. I LOVED the sound for a stock truck (I got in not expecting to hear any kind of engine). After walking around after the drive I noticed the TRD exhaust. A month later I drove one w/o the exhaust and wasn't happy w/ the fact that I couldn't hear ANYTHING (granted, even w/ the TRD exhaust this is by far the quietest vehicle I own...except for the wife's of course). Personally, I need to hear my engine when I drive...just puts a warm, fuzzy feeling in my heart. The TRD isn't my ultimate exhaust, but it will hold me over until warranty runs out and then I can have some fun. But, if you're the type that wants peace & quite all the time, go stock.
