Borla Y-Pipe

Anyone have any experience with this and how do u like it?https://www.extremeterrain.com/borla-tacoma-y-pipe-60699.html

 

I was looking at URD at one point, but ended up getting a Cat shield. You might find some useful info on this link to help you compare.

I just installed one of these. I chose this over the URD as I do not care for the noise they produce, and over the AFE because that doesn't actually reroute the exhaust and still hangs under the frame. Overall the Borla is a pretty nice y-pipe and I would recommend but it's not without its issues. Hopefully the following info can help someone looking into this system.

The good: It's beautifully built and looks fantastic, comes with all necessary heat shields and makes the truck sound a little throatier giving it a tone more similar to the 4.0l on accel (mine's paired with the MF Overland catback), but seems a little quieter on the highway.

The bad: Their instructions say to reuse the stock donut gasket between the y-pipe and catback, but the 60mm stock gasket does not fit on their 62mm piping, so I had to source a replacement. The passenger side of the piping would allow for perfect fitment if it were about 1/2" longer.

I’ve been trying to decide on a y-pipe. This looks like the ticket! I have the factory TRD exhaust but I’ve definitely contemplated the MF exhaust.

 

I really like it. I have heard from others they did not have fitment issues, so mabe they fixed it. Probably will sound awesome with the trd.

 

@906taco recently started making equal length y-pipes for the 3rd gen. Craftsmanship is top notch.

Appreciate the tag!! Thanks a bunch!

 

Wow that’s a bad ass y-pipe! Definitely something to look in to down the road.

As far as the Borla, I’m pretty impressed with the fit and ease of install. I don’t notice any increased sound, but it does keep all the factory cats. For what it is, I think it’s a great option.

 

Not my truck, but

URD Y, TRD catback, intake flow accelerator, k&n drop in filter...

Heck of a write up, there. Much appreciated!

 

Unfortunately the only option is to get rid of the secondary cats though so its not legal and you cant get away with running it in many states.
