Traditionally, I would buy an exhaust for more power. As I see no claims of additional HP/TQ, is the only benefit in your opinion the sound? Coming from V8’s it’s hard to get excited about any 4 cylinder sounds.

I have the AWE exhaust on my manual Tacoma and it definitely makes it more fun to drive. I can finally hear the truck.

We do not have dyno numbers posted at this current time as we were unable to get a full pass on the dyno with the trucks that we had here for R&D. Not to say that no power was made, more so that we were unable to accurately and repeatably measure with the testing that we have done thus far. We are expecting a small bump in HP/TQ due to the design, but as with all new vehicles any exhuast alone is not going to put up huge dyno numbers, manufactuers are too efficient these days in pulling as much power out of a platform as they can. If making power is your concern with the truck, an exhuast is always a supporting mod to get the most out of power mods like a tune.

In addition to performacne and sound, swapping out the factory system to our BashGuard option provides more clearance than stock, or if you prefer tips, a much better finish than the facotry tip option on some models (or lack there of). Nothing is going to make it sound like a V8, but that doesn't mean a turbo 4 can't sound good with a few tweaks to the exhuast design. To each their own of course, but there are plenty of sound clips right here on the site if you are curious. :handshake:

Definately a nice improvement and helped us on the trails being able to hear the throttle input around obstacles. :fistbump:
