Borla Exhaust: amzn.to/2GJQXhj
The Borla cat back exhaust system was a easy install onto the 5th gen Toyota 4Runner. Borla is a big name in exhaust systems for big block engines so we we're curious how this exhaust system would sound on the Toyota 4Runner. I'm please to say that it sounds great. The rumble isn't over the top, and it's actually quite subtle. you can definitely hear and feel the difference. we could tell that their is a quicker pedal response and it seams to have a quicker acceleration.

Yes, its very subtle, the only difference is on the low end that I noticed.

If you're not worried about getting the two bolts off of the top muffler flange, just cut the pipe off and take the whole thing to the cycling center.

Great video... one of the better exhaust install vids I watched before doing my own. I actually removed my TRD exhaust and put on a stock exhaust... ahhh so nice and quiet now.

@angelakabeach6412 6 лет назад

I put this borla exhaust on my 2015 4runner. I also put on a 07 Tacoma Y-Pipe we had but never used(went with headers on that truck). We had to make modifications to the Borla exhaust to fit the Y-Pipe. I been running it for over 6 months and I love it.

@MightyFavog1 5 месяцев назад

I'll be doing this same set up tomorrow! Thanks for mentioning the removal of the sheild. I had planned on putting the jack stands on the frame to let the axle drop lower. But now that I see how your idea works, I'll try that.

SnailTrail4x4 not right now. But eventually we will get a high clearance cat back setup to replace the giant muffler under the rear.

@willyshance 5 лет назад

It's amazing how little difference you can tell from stock. I enjoyed how you emphasize the responsiveness of the throttle and how it was just throaty enough to be enjoyable, compared 2 the magnaflow which actually provides a audiatory difference and possibly other gaines unmentioned, awesome review

@wallylam121 5 лет назад

Sooo...on my 2016 Trail, the KDSS will get in the way?

@canesser1 6 лет назад

This is probably the best exhaust option as it isn't overly loud and even improves the tone from stock. Do they publish the horsepower improvements like Magnaflow? Notice he has the TRD air filter kit as well, interested in upgrading my '18 TRD Off Road with this system, great vid, best demonstration of the sound comparisons I've found yet and yet so simple.

@SnailTrail4x4 6 лет назад

I really with I could have ran a Dyno test before and after with that kit. The 4Runner we installed the exhaust on actually doesn't have the TRD intake. It's a bit confusing because there are two whjte 4Runners. Thanks for the compliment and support!

@gjm8220 6 лет назад

What is your opinion on the URD Mark3 Exhaust. They’re running dual inline mufflers.

@duramaxman8242 2 года назад

I just put one of these kits on my 4RUNNER. Is it normal to get a little bit of a popping or rumbling noise while driving at low RPMs. Also, in getting an occasional rattling noise. Thanks

@richardwalley2862 Год назад

In 2022 what exhaust would you recommend for the 4 runner?

@danielaltherr1229 4 года назад

Great video, thank you! I have a 2016 4Runner and am looking at the TRD cold air intake and a cat back exhaust system. I was talking to a buddy and he said I would definately have to tune it after to prevent ruining the engine or ecu due to running lean or issues with back pressure. Is this true? I am reaching out to you because I trust your experience and opinion. Does anybody know the answer to these questions? I want RELIABLE long term upgrades that don't ruin my 4Runner or warranty. Thanks again.

@SnailTrail4x4 4 года назад

I'm not sure about your warranty, but if you're concerned with the ECU you could always discount the battery for 5-10 min then reconnect to reset the computer and so it can learn about your new features

@rohinhans7819 4 года назад

It's not that bad as it's a cat back, it if was a full system you would need a tune

@vdub4utube 5 лет назад

Is there a significant weight difference between the stock and the Borla?

@SnailTrail4x4 5 лет назад

No, not significant, but its probably ways more

@JJAVIER128 5 лет назад

I installed my borla system and I noticed the tip rubs against my bumper. How would I adjust to lower it so it doesn’t melt my bumper?

@SnailTrail4x4 5 лет назад

Interesting... Maybe you can adjust it with the rubber hangers pushing them one way or another? You might be able to get some other sizes of the rubber hangers so it can lower it down?

@coppcar 4 года назад

I just talked to their CA office. This was discussed. Toyota has a slight design difference between the TRD Off-Road models and the Pro and it caused this very thing. They had to replace a lot of bumpers because of it. Do you have a Off-Road or Pro and the "Touring" exhaust? If so, that's your trouble. You need the 'S' type exhaust. If it's too loud, you need to add a resonator in the pipe. He said there is a 10" section for the purpose between the muffler and the cats.

@elmamitousmc 4 года назад

so if i have a SR5, 2016 the tip shouldn't rub the bumper?

@AllenMaestas 5 лет назад

Is this 5th gen 4runner a TRD off road? Will it fit a TRD off road?

@SnailTrail4x4 5 лет назад

This version was an SR5. I am not sure if it will fit a TRD off road version because of the KDSS. That said, I also don't think they run the exhaust a different way for the two types. It seams that would be silly engineering.

@AllenMaestas 5 лет назад

Thanks, I guess I'm just going to have to call them. Any thought on the MBRP cat back, I'm wondering if that's just a piece of junk.

@nickleadbetter3823 3 года назад

I take it you're not a technician....the OP did nothing wrong. As long as you invest in quality, most likely name branded, jack stands, you'll be fine. Google harbour freight jack stands. I guarantee your perspective on the Chinese tool store will change and have you begging for quality equipment. But if nothing else, driving up on some stacked, staggered 2×6s in the shape of a ramp should curb the anxiety.

"we could tell that their is a quicker pedal response and it seams to have a quicker acceleration." Come on. Quicker pedal response? What does that even mean. And acceleration isn't something that seems better, it's something you measure. Multiple dyno runs before and after are the only way to say if this does anything, the butt dyno and "pedal response" nonsense is of no value whatsoever. Good install video though

Um...yeah. I listened to this on my living home theater set-up to enhance the low frequencies, and there was really no difference at all. I was like...I hope that dude didn't pay for that. Waste of hard-earned cash. There really is no point in adding an exhaust to your rig unless you got a V8. Subies do a great job of exhaust tuning in their turbo 4-bangers. Other than that, it's a waste of time because I'd rather have it be nice and quiet down the road than listen to a fart can.
