    I have just bought a new 2021 Tacoma TRD sport and was wondering what is the best aftermarket exhaust for a decent price.

    Can't vouch for best, but I love my Borla S-type catback exhaust. It isn't cheap by any means but I haven't been disappointed in it at all.

    Sound clips over your computer aren't good quality.

    I would go with the Borla Type-S cat back. I have it on my Camaro SS and it sounds awesome!

    I have borla muffler 40665 and probably should have left it stock. Basically you are putting a loud muffler on a V6 Camry.

    That's also a universal muffler, the s-type is toned differently. Definitely think OEM sounds better than that variant muffler.

    Its subjective. No amount of tuning will make it sound like a v8.

    Why would even think of changing the exhaust on a brand new truck? Just for the sound?? Really??

    You're right, and anyone who is reading this thread with that goal in mind should get that idea out of thier head really quick. It's a v6 and will always sound like a v6. My Borla gives it an exotic tone if I had to describe it, but it DOES NOT scream "look at me" in a good or bad way. Louder yes, deep no, pissy bumblebee-ish no.

    I went with Borla because it sounded good and they ran a $400 off discount previously so I didn't mind taking the chance at a $200 price tag. I think it's rather nic , but only suggest it or the TRD Pro exhaust.

    TRD pro exhaust is the best sounding to me but my son runs a flowmaster and it's one of the aggressive sounding, but to me it sounds deep and smooth. Granted he is under 30 so it fits his style and it sounds great and no drone.

    None. The 3.5L V6 sounds like garbage - stock exhaust or not. Its a blue-collar workhorse, not a sexy V8 or inline 6. In fact its rather embarrassing when I see another Tacoma driver with an exhaust system - "there goes that lawn mower down the road".
