In this video we show you how to replace your muffler using this universal performance muffler by Borla. Borla has a patented straight-through and multi-core technology that helps increase horsepower and torque. Whether you're looking to replace your muffler due to age or get a different sound out of your exhaust, consider this Borla muffler as an affordable option.
Borla does offer an entire Cat-Back Exhaust System (Touring Part # 14659) but it is significantly more costly than one of the universal units they offer. With the right offset, you can tie this muffler into your existing exhaust system to make this work for your application.
- We recommend using the 2.5" muffler for a 3rd Gen Toyota 4Runner.

I like Chris' take on PPE, socks, sandals, goggles, and a face shield.
Yeah, it's what all the welders are wearing these days.
That's awesome how you made it work out in the end and it came out really well! Great job and a nice quiet and deep tone to the 4 Runner.
I doubt Chris will see your comment but I know he would appreciate it.
I have the same exact muffler on my 3rd gen. I love the sound! Once the truck warms up, the sound is a steady low tone, but not obnoxious. At highway speed, there’s no droning, just a steady throatier sound.
Thanks for adding your experience with this muffler. We found the same thing regarding sound. Nothing over the top, just an OEM+ sound.
Excellent video! I am going to give the Borla a try. Last time I took the those flanges apart, the bolts were completely rusted together like yours. I ended up cutting the nuts off with an angle grinder, and popping the heads out, just installed some new bolts/nuts/lock washers to put it back together. Great job welding that together too, its sometimes hard to get everything set right, and not burn through the pipe :)
Great job guys.. I'm going to do this job soon .. only addition im doing is adding a new pair of flanges on the tail pipe to make this go easier. The hanger installation you did was excellent.. great video and thanks for posting 👍
Bora makes a nice cat back system that's an easy install. I put one on my 96 4runner. It routes the exhaust tip straight out the back instead of the side
Definitely many options for people to decide. You could also do a turn down (small 45 from the backside of the muffler) and then you don’t see the exhaust pipe at all!
I had a Magnaflow on my 2000 4runner for 16 years and loved the mellow tone and throttle response!!
A lot of people who have the Borla speak highly of it. Thanks for sharing your experience with this product!
I think this guy likes his 4Runner
Why yes, yes he does. Don’t we all?
I installed a Flowmaster Super 10 on mine and it sounds beastly
Good work Sean and Chris welds and install looks good👍
Looks like the Milwaukee stubby was in forward on the video on that back flang
Thanks for the video. I would love to see the full length borla drop in with cats.
Shouldn’t be too much different actually. They do provide new exhaust pipes which is nice but for an extra $500 this is a good budget option
No matter how ugly the bolts I’ve always used a propane torch/PB Blaster, and patience to unscrew the flanges. Recommend save the flanges at all cost....then just bolt it back together with new Toyota bolts, that way it will come apart again one day. I also suggest renewing all gaskets every time.
Yeah we 100% agree. We tried but at the end of the day, we decided to scrap that last flange. Sometimes unexpected executive decisions need to be made to complete the filming in 1 day. We also mentioned replacing gaskets one this video. Thanks for your comment.
@@TimmyTheToolman yer mate...hopefully I’m not coming off too critical. Your channel is an awesome resource that I appreciate frequently. Guess I’ve had occasion to remove/reseal/reassemble my exhaust completely several times over the years on my ‘02 SuperTaco. It’s the TRD stainless steel one so I’m all about keeping it going. The one issue I have is I am curious what guys are using for the exhaust manifold gaskets on their SS TRD headers. I would actually do a valve job/fix my potentially cracked head if I knew what to use for TRD header manifold gaskets. I should have had the foresight to buy a spare gasket set 20 years ago when I could have.
Thanks guys, great video. I enjoyed watching all the metal work being done . Camera and editing looks pretty slick too.
Appreciate it Andrew.
Thanks for another great video. Borla still sound great even on my 93 Yota that I installed 28 years ago.
That’s good to hear. Thanks for taking time to leave a comment here
I have the borla turbo xl on my 97. IMO the perfect muffler. Gives a nice rumble but not obnoxious. Great choice!
Good to hear from another vehicle! Thanks for the comment.
More or less rumble than what the boys here did? I’m in the market.. thanks
You give that mufler a cat thief special, on how fast you cut it with your blade 😂
Those cat thieves suck! May there be a special place in hell for them.
@@TimmyTheToolman agreed
RUSTY?
Looks pretty clean to me! then again i'm in NY.. Alot of the time i wished i wasn't.
Great Job Boys!
I know our “rust” looks tame compared to your side of the country. We are not sure if we would enjoy wrenching as much if we had a great deal of rust to deal with!
@@TimmyTheToolman Dont get me started on Rust.... I have an exhaust job to get done.. the dealer said would be over 4K . I have to use the dealer... not too many folks here "wrench" It's awful here... If I dropped another 4K on her... it would be $8k in less than 2 years. Toyo dont offer the TRD exhaust anymore.
You can get an entire cat back system and replace everything from the cats back (we are assuming it will be rusty).. 4K sounds like way too much to pay. You can buy a parts truck with little/no rust and harvest the exhaust system for less than 4K!
@@TimmyTheToolman Everything is rusty Poor Wheezy(thats what i call her) Have been through everything.. i think i might have to go to the manifold back.. my Cat is good though.
Question: suppose you wanted a little more growl but not too much do u have any other recommendations?
I have the Flowmaster on my 3rd gen...love it cause my rig is stick as well
Sicmods brotha!
Nice job guys 👍
Thanks Big D! Now onto the next sicmod
Can't trust a guy that wears socks with sandals
Lol I don’t usually, it was cold out!! 😅😂
Haha! Chris is very fashion conscious. Especially when he’s on camera.
My dad used to say the same thing about a Man who don't drink. He never liked me anyhow.
I know you were reving it at the end but I honestly could tell much of a difference which to me is a plus and I know that’s what you guys stated but how’s it holding up now? Does it still sounds pretty stock with a throatyish rev?
Haven’t driven it a whole lot since we filmed it but so far It sounds the same, I have read that it can change over time but not sure.. when I did this on my Tacoma it never really changed and I had it for a while 🤷♂️
Thanks! my stock muffler on my 03 is toast. Will this application translate to 1st gen tacomas? Thanks alot!
Yes!
A specialized exhaust pip cutter is available that's effectively a chain wrench with pipe cutter wheels all along the chan. Works really well.
Any noise increase inside the car? Any drivability change?
Thanks for the tip - we linked to a tool like you’re talking about in the video description. Noise is minimal and Chris says it feels slightly more responsive on the throttle
What's the wheel set up? I was listening to the exhaust but staring at the wheels 🤣 Also I have a Gibson exhaust on my 01 Tacoma and it has a nice tone to it as well. Just an FYI for anyone watching this because they are exhaust shopping haha
Was 285/75/16’s bfgoodrich km3’s on Oem 5 star 4runner rims.
I’ve been watching a buttload of your very helpful and informative videos the last few years, and apparently to bring out the asshats all you had to do was make an exhaust install video! Goddamn, some people lol
You must be referring to some of the comments.
@@TimmyTheToolman yes sir, thats exactly what I meant
@@cookiimunsta Yeah, sometimes the peanut gallery is a bit too much.
Doesn’t sound to annoying at all. It’s perfect tone
We agree. However, there's lots of A-Holes out in the world with very annoying exhaust. I would love to send all them to the vehicle crusher. I really despise those idiots with the crazy loud exhaust and the idiots seem to be multiplying. They're everywhere.
Why do you recommend the 2.5" over the 2.25" for the 3rd gen? My understanding is that it shifts the powerband way up. Thanks in advance.
Powerband and sound aside, the reason for recommending the 2.5” is so the muffler can fit over your existing stock exhaust tubing. The stock tube is 2.25”. If chris would have got the 2.5” the install would have been easier with less couplings involved
- Sean
Why didn’t you take the cutoff wheel to the stuck bolts? You could’ve saved the flange that way
We considered it but we decided on plan B. You should always have a plan B, especially on a first date.
Hey! Where's Tim?!🧐 Who are these 2 jokers that hijacked his chanel?! They struggled some thru this job but did finally get it done. 💥Too bad they didn't do it on a lift frm the get-go. Doing any exhaust work sucks w/o one! All good in da hood guys, good quality vid!👍
Those jokers are Sean and Chris. You should know Sean since he's runs the channel with me. Yeah, having a lift would be ideal for this job and lots of other jobs that had us on our backs for hours or days. I think they did a pretty good job.
Nice job
I can go with a slightly louder sound but its the HP increase im concerned about.
You're not getting any HP increase. The exhaust is restricted at the first cat so the manifolds would have to be swapped out to fully open it up. Even then you would get 2-3hp at most.
Question for you fellas , I purchased a same size Magnaflow , and it droned terribly and was super loud (18 body). Took it off after two days .The Borla seems SUPER quiet compared to what I had , my debate is , I have OEM muffler on now, is the Borla that much similar to OEM cause this video makes me want to buy it
I have experience with a flow master exhaust and in my old age I have outgrown the loud obnoxious sound from most mufflers. This muffler however seems to be a good blend between affordability and loudness (very close to OEM, just a tad more growl).
@@TimmyTheToolman definitely so have I , loudness is good on some cars not these lol my question is when I put a magna flow that was the same size as this Borla you installed it was terrible loud " so how is this Borla diff if it's same size ? Better internals ??
Sounds sick AF. Is that garage in San Francisco? Damn!
Yep. In the sunset
@@TimmyTheToolman N Judah line or something. I recognize those tracks. #sicmods!! I like how someone’s mom came in to see what you’re doing ... Classic!
Love my Borla Pro. I think I get 5 hps easily.
But does it love you back?
where's the link to the gasket?
Check this link out

- Sean
Did you notice any gain in power ?
No, but it sounds cooler.
The link in the description is for the Borla XL is there a difference between the XL and XS?
Yeah amazon has it labeled as an XL for some reason. But the links will yield you the same muffler shown in this video.
I got this installed and Its bogging at 2k rpm also my mpg dropped :( feels like it need more back pressure. Anyone else experience with this issue? Thinking about going back to stock if anyone have stock they want to trade or sell
This is interesting. Chris, had no issues after his install. I wonder why you lost power. I'm guessing you have the correct muffler.
@@TimmyTheToolman yes muffler is correct. Did you guys do any running to the 4runner after? Does he have a supercharger?
Yeah we drove it. No loss in power, just a different exhaust sound. A clogged muffler/cat could contribute to your bogging but seeing as it’s a brand new muffler, my next guess would be an exhaust leak somewhere in the system, did you weld it on personally?
@@TimmyTheToolman I see. It wasn’t welded on. Borla came with the clamps to connect the pipes. Not noticing any exhaust leak but I can double check the clamps tonight
Does this one drone for you guys? I tried the same muffler but had to remove it after only one day. The drone was just destroying my ears... Almost felt like something was wrong with it.
Hmm it wasn’t really too bad when I had it setup like this, my exhaust setup is a bit different now though. Same muffler but it just ends right at the back of the muffler with a turn down 90.. The crazy thing to me is I had an AFE cold air intake (similar to k&n) and that thing was so loud I couldn’t even talk or hear music in the truck, I have since removed it. This muffler is way more quiet than the intake was even with the turn down right after the muffler. With all that said yes it does drone a tiny bit maybe but it’s definitely not bad, maybe I’m just not sensitive to the drone 🤷♂️..
👍
What kind of metals are these?
The muffler and piping are made of steel.
@@TimmyTheToolman thanks. Are oem piping usually steal? Btw, yall did a quality job. 👌🏾
@@ChutneyInc. Yes, OEM is all steel.
Can you still pass emissions with this exhaust?
Yes. The muffler doesn't affect emissions. That's the catalytic converters job.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for telling us what friggin muffler to get. Yotatech wasn't helpful.
You're welcome.
Pretty sure those 2 bolts you tried to get off are welded lol
Maybe, but maybe not.
That bolt you loosened and tightened back up? Yeah you were supposed to remove those to release the flange
What's life like as Captain Obvious? At the point in the video where you saw that, they were just seeing if the bolts were going to fight them or not. Yeah, they did eventually remove the bolts out all the way when they were ready to remove the assembly. I wish people would watch the whole video before talking shit.
@@TimmyTheToolman I did watch the whole video. Sorry, I thought that was the same flange that got stuck. Way to respond like an asshat tho.
@@Dmccali86 Well Dude, you started it, not me. I respond accordingly to the comments that come in. If you think you can come on somebody's channel and talk shit and not get it back, well sorry, that's not how it goes on this channel. You either get some shit talking back or I just block your comments from being seen in the future. You said you were sorry but then insulted me. Kind of hard to accept that as an apology. Anyway Dude, you can have the last comment if you want it. I'm done. Just know if you talk more shit, you're gone. I run this channel with Sean to help people. Dealing with A-hole comments is just one of the negatives and realities of being a TH-cam Creator.
Them bolts are no good wow Cheater pipe and all
Is it just me or does it sound the same....
It sounds very similar to the stock muffler, just a tad bit louder and deeper. Hard to capture on camera but definitely a sophisticated growl, not an obnoxious loud sound.
Need new stickers....”Give it the Beans!”
😂😭😎
Geez man
What are you Geezing about?
@@TimmyTheToolman Nothing special
@@pjc4425 Okay, I guess I'll carry on with my life then now that you clarified what you're Geezing about.
@@TimmyTheToolman Glad I could help 👍
Sounds like a rice burner lol
To Fast to Fieriest!
Not quite, hard to capture on camera but in person it sounds mildly louder
too bad it still sounds like a 6 cylinder....
Next video : v10 swap
Toyota truck V6 engines sound like shit
You must be a huge Toyota enthusiast with comments like that.
