    I'd worry too. 14x4" = not enough, not at all.
    I have Magnaflow 22x11x5" and I'd not change it anything smaller, there is noise enough now.

    hmm yeah, I have headers too so the exhaust is already a little louder and raspier.

    I'm thinking I should try running a cheap glasspack for a resonator and then going with a turbo style muffler like the Thrush Welded

    Thinking about getting a 22" magnaflow or similar muffler Non catback. Anytime im off asphalt or even on road really, truck body is pretty loud and annoying. Its hard to explain. Doors/ body fitment seem a lot sloppier than 1st gen. Lot of interior squeaks for a newer car. Cant find trd muffler by itself so just wondering if a 22" would be much louder with stock pipe cut off right after axle

    Sounds like you would be good candidate for sound deadener

    wow, that does sound pretty awesome! After waffling back and forth I came across a Holley Flowtech Terminator for $25 shipped so I just ordered that but if I'm unhappy I'll gladly switch to the Magnaflow after hearing your clips

    I did a muffler only system last month using a Black widow venom 250 muffler. http://www.blackwidowexhaust.com/mu...nter-SKU-BW001-C/p/35648298/category=15730041 They are worth looking into.

    I previously had a flowmaster series 50 muffler 1in/2out running split exhaust that came out of the back of the truck. I loved that system and the sound but it rusted and I needed to make another exhaust. I got my exhaust built earlier this month using a Black widow 2.5" Venom 250 muffler and i already have a aFe Stage-2 Si Pro 5R Cold Air Intake System Dry filter installed. With the old exhaust I noticed that after 3k rpm you would loose the sound of the muffler because the intake sound would take over. After having the new exhaust for about a month now the biggest thing that I noticed is a pretty consistant power band and also engine sound. There is no drop of one sound for another. As the RPMs get higher the whole engine system sounds strong and happy.
    I really like the sound of the Venom 250 on my truck. The initial firing up sound is aggressive and loud enough but doesn't scare small children. It was 11F this morning while starting the truck in the video. With that said, your neighbors will definitely know when you have started your truck because the exhaust note travels inside the house easily. Just under normal idle while sitting at a light or in a drive through you wont notice it to much, but once you get on the throttle you and everyone around you will hear it. Getting onto the highway or passing anyone puts a smile on my face each and every time.

    The biggest thing that I noticed with this muffler compared to the last system that was on my truck is how much "quieter" the Black widow muffler sounds inside the cab compared to outside the truck, It doesn't sound annoying or overly loud. It has some hum at 1500 rpm, so going 35 down the road you might have a little hum but not annoying drone. At 2k RPM while doing 70mph the exhaust is comfortably quiet and easy to drive, but once you bring the motor up to 3200 RPM she stops sounding like a Tacoma and makes me smile. The company Black widow is worth looking into to for sure
