I picked up a brand new TRD exhaust on Ebay a year ago for a great price, $219 plus free shipping, so I am very happy with the cost aspect; Also the appearance is very nice, well finished and polished. But, even though the TRD is listed as the most quiet of the three, I will say that even at constant highway speeds, it does make enough of a drone to people riding in the back seat that they have a hard time hearing a conversation between the two front seat riders, so it does create some interior noise. Now, I DO have one of those D-I-Y $30 "short ram" conical air filters installed on the engine in place of the stock air box, so that may be contributing to some of the extra sound coming from the TRD... But overall, I'm pleased with the sound I get from it paired with the ram air filter. Not too loud, and definitely doesn't get raspy, ricey, or break up at all.
But then, I'm an old fart, so what do I know...lol!
