I was in a parking lot when I heard a beautiful sound. It was a 94-95 4runner with just a simple exaust, It was a real deep sound not whinny. What is the best muffler that I can put on the 3.0L? I want to to sound good NOT like a 4 cyl HONDA CIVIC or some of them Ricer boys cars. I know it isnt a v8 but I want it to sound good by only replacing the muffler and tail pipe not the cat or manifolds. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/coolg.gif" alt="" />

I've had 40-series Flowmasters on a couple 3.0's and most folks think I've done a motor swap. I've even had some ask me if I had a V8 in there...
...till they see me going 60mph with my foot to the floor up Mt. Vernon canyon.

Ya the flowmaster series 40 has a good deep tone to it. I had one on my 2.7 Tacoma and it was great, not a too fast too furious sound. I will probably get one for my 4runner whenever money is pentiful <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

no muffler will give you the riceboy sound. what gives the sound to those cars is the giant tip that you see. a buddy of mine had one of those mufflers on a plain jane civic, but he hated the sound so he cut the tip off and it sounded deeper than stock but not like the car was farting.

First time a guy in the club showed up for a run in his 3.0 fired '88 4Runner with his new Flowmaster I thought he swapped in a frickin' vee-8. Schit it sounds good.

I had a Dynomax 'Hemi' SuperTurbo on my 90 4Runner and it sounded really nice and deep yet almost stock. Mine was a 2-1/4" IN/OUT and was something like 22" long.
