Hear The First Aftermarket Exhausts On 2016 Toyota Tacomas
Hear The First Aftermarket Exhausts On 2016 Toyota Tacomas-November 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:16

Some ambitious owners have already slapped new mufflers on the , but MagnaFlow is claiming the first true dyno-tuned 50-state legal exhaust system for the new truck..

MagnaFlow’s system for the 2016 Tacoma’s 3.5 V6 runs all the way from the catalytic converter to the exit tailpipe (typically called a “cat-back exhaust”) and is made of three-inch mandrel bent stainless steel tubing, feeding into a single stainless 18-inch muffler and exiting with a four-inch polished stainless tip.

MagnaFlow promises this system was “dyno tuned to make power and torque,” but suspiciously does not quantify that claim. I left a message over there and will update when we hear back, but it’s probably safe to say that the main “gain” customers get out of the system is this noise:

For a little comparison, listen to the same kind of truck with a stock pipe, and then with a Flowmaster muffler:

While we’re celebrating the song of our people, here’s a Borla muffler on a new Taco too:

Of course, those Flowmaster and Borla sounds you just heard were for mufflers only; not true “cat-back” systems like the MagnaFlow, which again is the first of its kind for the 2016 Tacoma. The difference is that cat-back systems have been known to add a little power, a muffler really only changes the sound.

The new MagnaFlow system will set you back about $675 with a lifetime warranty. Exhaust pipes are pretty easy to install, especially since there can’t be too many brand-new Tacomas with rusty bolts down there yet. I’d budget about an hour’s labor at your local shop or a weekend afternoon if you’re going to attach it yourself.

This Mahindra One-Cylinder Truck Has A Higher Payload Capacity Than A Ford F-150
So much of truck-bragging is done backwards, I think. Most truck owners, if inclined to brag, like to talk about how big their engines are, how many cylinders, and so on, as though the sheer size of the numbers they’re spewing makes them tough. I maintain the opposite is true;...

The 1990s Ford Bronco Deserves More
The 1990s Bronco is, understandably, and not much else. That shouldn’t be the case. They’re simple, stout trucks, and workable platforms just like anything else of the period. Take this 1991 prerunner-gone-mad that jumps approximately 900 feet in the air on decades-old shocks, for example. Good truck: It’s also aided...

Towing An Old Jeep Through An Ice Storm With A 707 HP Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk Was Truly Terrifying
I missed the Super Bowl last Sunday because I made a terrible decision: I used a on all-season tires to tow my new from Ohio back to Michigan through an ice storm. It should have been a four-hour trip, but it became a harrowing 12-hour ordeal that nearly ended...

The Baja 1000 Broke Us
The tiny racing truck tore back off into the night, and we were left looking at each other. Jams and Boothe had caught up to us, being chauffeured in a chase truck by another friend. They looked brain-dead; I recognized their exacerbation from the last time I ran this race....

What Do You Want To Know About The 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser?
The 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser is the most expensive vehicle in Toyota’s lineup by a massive margin. This model’s sales numbers are so low that it’s unlikely you’ll ever see one in person in America. And yet, it still exists. This week we’ll find out why. Or, at least, whether...
