TRD Performance Exhaust Systems—Built to Take the Heat and Sound Good Doing It

For drivers who want to feel the power and hear the engine as it performs, a TRD performance exhaust system offers the solution you're looking for. Thanks to stylish good looks and an aggressive tone, TRD exhaust systems are among the top-selling TRD products.

But good looks and an aggressive resonance are just the beginning. There's solid engineering throughout these stainless steel exhaust systems. TRD performance exhausts are crafted to promote the free flow of exhaust gases and provide optimal back pressure to enhance overall power and performance. Developed by TRD using the same engineering specifications and blueprints as each Toyota vehicle, you can be assured a quality exhaust built to the same high quality standards as original Toyota equipment.

TRD performance exhaust systems are built from the highest-quality stainless steel for durability and protection from corrosion. They feature a polished tip or tips with a TRD logo and dual-wall construction to prevent heat discoloration. Moreover, every TRD exhaust system is designed specifically for its respective vehicle. Typically, each vehicle gets a unique muffler tuned specifically for that application in order to provide the "right" sound. Each applicable vehicle also has a unique exhaust tip that is designed to have the appropriate size and shape to match the vehicle's design and scale. A well-fitted muffler and tip ensure a factory-fit installation without additional cutting, drilling or other modifications. In contrast, aftermarket companies tend to use a generic exhaust tip for all their applications.

The main purpose of an exhaust system is to help remove burned gases from the engine as efficiently as possible. These systems work when an exhaust valve opens at the beginning of the exhaust stroke and then a piston pushes gases out of the cylinder. If the piston experiences resistance, it results in wasted power and is known as "back pressure." Therefore, an exhaust system that reduces back pressure can create additional power.

TRD-engineered performance exhaust systems provide the optimal balance of back pressure and flow to enhance performance. Compared to stock exhausts, the TRD performance system produces an aggressive, deep, powerful engine sound. And the double-walled exhaust tip construction helps ensure the stainless steel finish maintains a polished resilience when hot.

TRD guarantees its performance exhaust systems are built with the finest materials in order to ensure long-term durability. They are crafted from high-quality stainless steel and engineered to improve performance in real-world driving conditions. A combination of 304 stainless steel for polished components and 400-series stainless steel for non-polished components is used throughout to achieve higher levels of durability and corrosion resistance. While not designed for racing, each performance exhaust system application is engineered to deliver a measurable boost in performance while remaining emissions-compliant in 50 states and meeting all aftermarket noise limit requirements (95-decibel required by law). In addition, Toyota tests to both static and drive-by regulation standards to assure compliance in all regions. In contrast, some aftermarket exhausts may not meet legal noise limit requirements, which could result in costly fines.

TRD currently offers performance exhaust options for multiple vehicle applications and model years. Available exhausts include:

TRD Exhaust Type	MY/Vehicle Application
Cat-Back Side Outlet	2005-2011 Tacoma V6 (excludes X-Runner)
Cat-Back Side Outlet	2007-2010 FJ Cruiser
Cat-Back Dual Side Outlet	2010 Tundra
Cat-Back Dual Outlet	2007-2010 Camry V6 (SE, LE, XLE)
Sport Muffler	2007-2011 Yaris Sedan and Liftback

TRD performance exhausts are easy to install and guaranteed to fit right the first time. Since they are developed using Toyota’s engineering specifications for each vehicle, you can be sure they fit precisely and work in harmony with all other components affecting engine performance. Unlike most aftermarket exhausts, TRD performance exhausts use factory connector flanges and gaskets as well as existing factory mounting hangers for installation—eliminating the need to cut or drill additional holes in the vehicle, which often lead to rust and vibration. Most aftermarket applications use slip-fit connectors or clamps, which are a one-size-fits-all, cost-cutting approach.

TRD performance exhaust systems undergo rigorous OEM tests to ensure their long-term durability and performance. Tests include but are not limited to durability, weld strength, fatigue, vibration for resonant frequency, corrosion and performance. In comparison, most aftermarket exhausts are not required to be tested to meet OEM specifications and may be designed to fit a variety of vehicles, which could result in a poor fit. Since the TRD systems maintain Toyota’s high quality standards for performance and strength, owners know they are buying an exhaust system that is built to last. Best of all, TRD performance exhaust systems are backed by Toyota's 3-year/36,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty, valid at any Toyota dealership nationwide.

So, rather than buying an aftermarket exhaust system and worrying about its performance, sound characteristics and quality, you can choose an exhaust system designed by TRD and backed by Toyota. With aggressive styling and boosted performance, it’s a sound investment! Visit your local Toyota dealer to learn more.
