TRD Offroad OEM center pipe vs "TRD center pipe"

[Livestrongroadie]

Hey all, I have this posted in another thread, but I thought I'd make it more easily accessible for anyone looking.

I have a TRD Offroad hybrid and was looking at the TRD center pipe and rear pipe assemblies. I couldn't find an answer to the differences in the midpipe, so just decided to buy and find out.

To be clear, from my research, the "TRD mid-pipe" (PT226-35240) is actually different in part number from a TRD Pro as well. I actually took a VIN from one and confirmed with Toyota.

Anyway, here are the pics comparing my stock one from a TRD Offroad hybrid to the TRD one. They look identical on the outside, but inside is a different story.

Thanks for sharing! I've been wondering about this ever since I bought the TRD tailpipe, but I skipped the TRD mid-pipe since my dealer couldn't tell me if there was any difference. Can you hear a difference in the exhaust tone with the TRD mid-pipe? There was a small change in tone with the TRD tailpipe.

Thanks for the heads up. I ordered the pro exhaust but after 3 months of waiting I gave up. So I decided to go with the AWE exhaust with black tips and I have zero regrets. My hybrid sounds sweet now. Definitely recommend

I didn't install yet, but hopefully this weekend if the weather holds out. I'll come back with the verdict. I would hope a little deeper than stock with no drone.

I had a Stillen on before, but could not stand the drone on the highway. Everything else I like about it. I really wanted to do the Magnaflow Overland, but it didn't fit the hybrid and they gave no answer on if they would make one on the hybrid. I think for now, this TRD is my best option until the trucks been around a bit longer for companies to play with.
