    Thee way to go!

    The stock exhaust got slightly louder (just right) after the axle dump.

    To me, Ford V8s have the best exhaust note.

    Take off the entire exhaust, be that one student at the local high school

    I'm looking into purchasing an AFE exhaust. The stock exhaust is nice, however I'd would prefer something with a deeper idle tone, and a somewhat louder tone when revving. BrosFOURSpeed lives around the corner from me and he installed the MBRP exhaust on his tacoma and its loud in person.


    Heres what not do to (especially on a brand new car):

    Some guy at my high school took apart and sold the exhaust from his 2019 Kia Forte. Everything was coming straight from the headers (thats my guess, his exhaust tone was coming from the engine bay). Apparently he failed inspection and refused to purchase a new exhaust so I'm not exactly sure what hes doing now lol. I don't want to sound like an ass but he revved the f*** out of his engine all the time, in-turn losing parking privilege's on campus and he received multiple citations for noise, and I'd be surprised if his engine or transmission lasts another year.
