Trail exhaust / axle dump sound difference (clip)

[PNWkip]

FWIW I've had mine on for a few weeks now (OEM Trail Pipe) after having the stock exhaust on for more than 20,000 miles and I haven't noticed any change in exhaust fumes entering the cab. The noise I noticed, but I'm not bothered by it. It's not significant enough to outweigh the additional clearance you get by ditching the stock exhaust. Gotta get a Rolls Royce if a whisper quiet interior is what you're after ;)

Also for anyone wondering, you can manipulate the stock exhaust out from under the truck once it's disconnected without having to raise the truck. It was a little tricky though.

I had an Ioniq 5 before my last truck (2006 V8 f150) and honestly when I drove the SR5 home I was like "This thing is as quiet as an EV when you're cruising!"

I could see how you don't have to lift the truck! I have a jack so just unbolted stock, lifted from the rear, pulled it out, lowered, put the dump on. 10-15 min total. Easy as heck. I might order another one since I sold my Cobb and OEM is $80 right now, give it more than 24 hrs to see if I made a rash decision by taking it off immediately. I want the pro section, but even with the discount it's $500. Would probably be cheaper to have an exhaust shop cut and weld. I saw a guy who did that! Will post a photo when I find it.

This guy might be a forum member, but was looking at his TRD pro exhaust section on marketplace (he didn't like it on the hybrid, but too far of a drive for me) and he had a buddy weld the stock pipe like this which I think is pretty cool.

my OR came with the upgraded "dual exhaust":

but I swapped it for the SXTH cutoff for better exit clearance.

I want that dual exhaust! Just don't want to pay the dealer prices, even on sale. Might try the OEM axle dump again and give it more than a day before I get mad at my Toyota Civic and take it off lol.

Sold it for $500 on fb few weeks back

Was quite a lot of pipe removed...

The axle dump doesn't let exhaust fumes go into the cab. I don't know why people are so worried on a truck.

I have the AWE bashgaurd axle dump and it's been fine even with windows open.

If you were driving a 4Runner, sure, I'd get the concern.

Yea, they just wouldn't put it in production if it was a concern.

I've driven a bunch of mid 90 to early 2000 trucks that had issues. Cracked manifold, whatever. I drove a Celica with an exhaust leak under the driver's seat and a blown gasket in high school, wouldn't recommend it, but didn't die

Also,

We do make an awesome exhaust system specifically for the 4Runner, with a high clearance BashGuard tip that ends behind the rear axle. So if you know any 4Runner fans, send them here: 4Runner by AWE.

I would love if you guys made a section that attaches to the muffler where the trail pipe / axle dump does, but deletes the resonator and dumps out behind the axle. A lot of us want more clearance and cleaner aesthetics, but man that trail pipe closer to the cab is annoying AF to me

Feel free to use this picture as reference. For the 4th Gen exhaust path with a BashGuard exit.
