Option to "silence" the TRD exhaust

[darnoc]

Hi all,

i've got the TRD exhaust package on my FJ and lately it's been bothering me at highway speeds. It's the issue of the droning sound inside the cabin while the rpm's are at the 1.5k to 2k levels. I wonder if there are any solutions to the noise. Unfortunately I don't have the OEM exhaust assembly. Would changing the silencer portion help with the exhaust burble?

If you were in So Cal I'd trade ya my stock exhaust =)

I blew my TRD tip off with a 12 ga. shotgun. It really felt good. Only a few pellets struck the body. I deem it a major success.

regular hand tools don't appeal to you?

Thank you Tran, very perceptive. My way is much quicker and easier. Actually helps you bond with your rig. Something about the smell of cordite.

I'm surprise there's that much droning with trd. usually a good quality exhausts have minimal droning. Never heard of any cure, though.

I love that smell. Its even better when combined with exhaust too.

I'm another one wishing the TRD exhaust was quieter... and hoping someone figures out a hack/mod for it. It just doesn't seem usefully loud.
