Magnaflow 12256, loud

I just got this put on and it's loud. Almost too loud. Once these are broken in, do they quiet down some? I picked this after researching on youtube and other sources, it sounded fine. I have this same one on my V8 4Runner and love it.

Maybe I should've stuck with stock.

 

It's going to get slightly louder over time.

 

Just posted in the other thread, but it seems like one night while digging around, I saw the 12286 was liked by most.

 

not good!!

 

I have that exhaust and started taking long trips with my family and had to go back to factory

 

it's not ricer sounding...but just too loud for my taste.

 

Does it give it a v8 type sound?

 

Interesting....I have the 12256 and dont think its very loud at all...did they cut the pipe or does it still follow factory routing and come out behind the rear passenger tire?

 

So, does it give a bad drone in the cab at freeway speeds? Or is it just to loud on acceleration? I'm looking for an exhaust and was thinking about this model number too! Wish you were closer so I could hear it!

 

It's loud all the time get something different

 

Out of all the V6's I've owned, nothing will ever sound like a V8. I have a V8 4Runner and it is a beautiful thing. Maybe I'm just spoiled.

 

thank you, Captain Obvious.

 

Loud on acceleration and drone as well....highway speeds loafing along it's OK I guess....but I guess I wanted something a little less loud.

 

All my other trucks I had put an after market muffler on it for the sound...now that I am getting older I like the peace and quiet of my factory stuff...

doing 80 on the freeway and barely hearing anything is bliss to me

 

Really weird...mine doesn't drone at all when cruising...only time I hear it is hard acceleration.

 

How much did you pay for it?

 

Thanks, my search continues then! I thought I would never say a vehicle could be to loud...... But now I can't stand a vehicle that has a high drone in the cab.

 

I'll try to get some sound clips this week and you can hear for yourselves....Cruising along not that bad...but just the touch of the gas and you can definitely notice.

Maybe I'm just getting old!!

 

OK, I must update. It has finally mellowed out!!! I actually love the sound. Just to make sure my mind wasn't playing tricks on me, I had my friend drive it and he loves it.

So.....this is a great sounding muffler. Just need to give it time to break in.

 

I have a magnaflow exhaust on my trans-am... it got quieter (idle to 3000RPM)after "break-in"... sounds great over 3000RPM

don't know what the magnaflow for a Tacoma is like, but I believe it's a good product...
