This website is the passion-project of a USMC veteran/mechanic, @Tyler. I created Tacoma3G.com to share my knowledge of this subject with others and to provide like-minded folks with a comfortable space to ask questions and create 'build threads' within our Tacoma Forums. Now, if the format of this website is confusing to navigate for you, or if you're interested in my full mission and T3G's history, check out the Help and About pages.
Exit location also has a lot to do with it. Mine dumped before the rear axle, just behind the back of the cab under the bed, facing the ground and not far from the rear cab vent. All of that will make the high clearance version perceptibly much louder inside the cab.
That's very interesting, after I installed mine the first time I never messed with it. I wonder if maybe there were some exhaust leaks going on that I didn't know about which perhaps made matters worse... I don't have that truck anymore so the world may never know.
Honestly that was the first bolt on exhaust I ever had so it leaking very well may have contributed to the obnoxiousness. Everything else I've had on every other vehicle including my previous Tacomas were fully welded other than the obvious flanged connections and flex joints.
