Figured this was an off-roading mod... So adding it to this section. The factory exhaust hangs SO LOW on these new Tacomas. After all these awesome off-road ready updates, we get an exhaust that almost touches the ground... Lol. It's not that bad, but it's a bit large and hangs too low. My last truck had a trimmed exhaust, but this seemed like a quick and easy solution. The main reason to get one is to prevent it from being demolished on the first ledge you drop off when going off-pavement. It could also flex into the bumper and scratch that as well. Pretty easy to install, just remove two bolts after the main muffler, and slide the tail pipe off two hangers, and it comes right out. Bolt on the new trail pipe with the same hardware and you're good to go. Also has a spot to connect to the factory hanger to maintain overall stability. Tons of room gained, a way cleaner look (IMO), and well priced at $100 (as of today). Oh, and without that little extra silencer right behind the exhaust tip, there is a subtly louder rumble when driving slower and at lower RPMs. This is not an exhaust, but it does sound a touch more aggressive. Tastefully so, to my liking. 4-cylinder exhaust systems can be tough to get right, and I'm happy with this as is.

Coming soon... Quick shot down low. BEFORE AFTER Factory part vs. Trail Pipe Good quality. Welds are pretty clean! Little side profile in front of the rear wheel.

The TRT ProRunner race concept showcases Toyota‘s commitment to innovation, heritage, and high-performance engineering. The vision of this Tacoma-based race concept was to push the boundaries of what a Tacoma can do. Incorporating Baja-inspired engineering with high-speed racing elements. This build celebrates Toyota‘s new partnership with Legacy Motor Club and legendary driver Jimmie Johnson.

The Toyota Tacoma ProRunner Race concept is SEMA concept based on the TRD Pro, and features a Baja-inspired design with a new Mudbath paint color, TRD’s signature yellow-orange-red color scheme, and Jimmie Johnson's number 84 on the sport bar. Built with Toyota's take on "serious" mods, it includes 2.5-inch Fox QS3 internal-bypass dampers, TRD upper control arms, skid plates, a roll cage with IsoDynamic seats, and multipoint harnesses. The six-foot bed is equipped with a spare-tire carrier, fuel cell, and weight-saving net in place of a tailgate, while retro-style chrome accents and aluminum wheels complete the race-ready look.
