Comment on Toyota Tundra TRD Dual Exhaust Product Review by Dennis

Dennis — Fri, 17 May 2013 17:08:06 +0000

I have a 2006 Toyota Tundra Darrell Waltrip Edition 4×4 Double Cab Pickup with 34,000 miles on it. Just had to replace the factory TRD dual exhaust, because the muffler was coming apart due to rust. I should have tried to get Toyota to warrant this old muffler, because it’s been leaking for a couple of years or more. Bought the new TRD Muffler and TRD dual tips. it cost me $775.00 for the TRD muffler and tips, for the parts. Grand Total was $918.00 installed. A couple of years ago, I started hearing noises in the exhaust. Local Toyota Dealer looked at it, and said they found a loose flange on the exhaust coupler, and tightened it back up. It got quieter again for a few months, but then got noisy again. I had a friend look at it that is a GM mechanic, and he thought that I had a bad baffle in the catalytic converter. I took it back again in December 2012, to Toyota Dealer. They took me into the service area to show me what was wrong. The TRD muffler was coming apart at the rear of it, where the two outlets come out going to the dual TRD tips. The stainless steel muffler was rusting out, or it had a bad weld on the rear of the muffler. I then took it to my Toyota Dealer in Roanoke, Va. to get the TRD muffler for a little bit lower price. They installed it for me in April 2013. Now the truck is much quieter, and tolerable. It was getting so noisy, with the bad TRD muffler. But they would not warrant the old TRD muffler, nor would they mention any warranty for the new TRD muffler. Another friend told me that I should have gotten the Borla Dual Exhaust. He said that it would have had some type of warranty, where the TRD does not have any warranty. I was pretty dissappointed, with the original TRD exhaust, and now the tips of the new TRD exhausts are getting contaminants on them, inside and outside. I am using 10% ethanol fuel, and wonder if this is causing the early breakdown of the TRD exhausts. A PURE gasoline retailer in my area, told me that my new TRD exhaust will rust out prematurely, like the last one did, if I keep using the 10% ethanol gasoline. He even gave me more bad news, that soon we will be seeing 15% ethanol gasoline, to replace the 10% ethanol. IS THIS 10% ETHANOL RUSTING OUT MY TRD EXHAUST MUFFLER PREMATURELY????

Tundra needs a 6.5′ bed with the CrewMax. I love my Tundra but I have to say that I will probably buy a Ford next time becasue they offer a longer bed with their crew cab (more towing, too).

Just got rid of my OE Michelins. They were gone after only 30k. I was really disappointed as I have always had good luck with M’s. Bought a set of General Gabber AT2′s and love them. I live on gravel and they do throw rocks, but they are stable and fairly quiet at 80 mph. And a little cheaper than BFG’s.

Yep and this is the tip of the iceberg. I suspect what will follow is premature engine wear from a slow but relentless flow of moisture into the egine. I’d be curious to see oil analysis reports for EcoBoost owners.

I remember when Ford was thinking about putting their 4.5L Powerstroke in an F-150.

I think they are kind of cool. However, my Toyota is so old, there is no power in the doors, (manual windows and locks)and I would have to run the cord a ways to get some.
