4x4 / Off-Road TechThis section contains all discussion related to taking the FJ Cruiser in Off-Road situations, 4x4 applications and any armor modifications.
Removed my muffler the other day to give me a little more room when out in the mountains. Put in a glass pack and sounds way throatier with the TRD exhaust I have on my rig and a noticeable change in the throttle response on my 6 speed. Any others experimented with there exhaust? Good? Bad? Indifferent?

I'll answer anyway... you're kidding right? A glass pack is a cheap, straight through muffler. Ever heard a redneck pickup truck that sounded loud and like crap... probably stock motor with glass packs.
I would NEVER want a glass pack on an FJ... imagine a deeper sounding Honda Civic with the fart can exhaust.
Maybe with a turbo (turbo acts a muffler some what)... but no...

Re: Exhaust Mod.
There are many different glass packs and many different sounds. That Thrush and Cherry Bomb, even Walker contentental(sp?). very different spunds. A cherry bomb or a walker might sound fine in the FJ... Ron

Re: Exhaust Mod.
i've heard decent glasspacks, usually on v8's by some 6's too, you just gotta hear them before you put them on so they don't sound like an i4 with a foldgers can set on the back

True.. less cylinders is always worse for sound; and more picky.. Ron
