    I had one on my Taco. It sounded fantastic but the quality was kinda lacking. For the money, I’d do it again, and did. On the Tundra :D

    I have one.

    It's the one that dumps before the rear axle.

    My neighbors hate it.

    Deer love it (they hear me coming).

    It drones at highway speed.

    This is the perfect description. Manual transmission helps w drone at highway speeds as you can down shift and control rpms at will. I've only had a handful of times when drone was annoying. Auto transmission exacerbates the drone.

    If you wait for a sale, you can get them really cheap. I paid like 125 for mine.

    Forgive my ignorance. What is the purpose of having a "fast and furious" exhaust sound on a 15sec 0-60 truck?

    Borla Turbo has a pretty deep sound. Most muffler shops should have a universal fit muffler in stock they can weld in. No point in doing a full cat-back exhaust if you just want the sound.

    I just like it to sound nice when I'm driving it. Like hear it growl going down the road. Ik it will never sound like a V8.

    Lots--
    I have it and put it on with less than 2k miles on my 2020 MT Taco. I like the sound but it definitely is annoying to some people that drive in the taco on the highway. I listen to loud music constantly so it doesn't bother me. My kids don't mind it either. Having Manual with it is nice too.

    I have the XP downturn-- i wanted the clearance
