Measure your hood liner for me if able?

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.

My 2024 TRD Off-Road does not have a hood liner/insulator. I contacted Toyota for part # 53341-AK010 and they told me there is a backorder nationwide with no ETA due to a shortage in materials. I would like to add a hood liner to decrease engine noise I can hear easily while driving thru the city doing stop/go driving especially when the truck shifts from first to second gear up thru 2000 RPM. I can order Metro Moulded HI2 cut-to-fit material from Metro Moulded Parts and make my own at a fraction of the price. If someone has a hood liner on their 2024 Tacoma, are you able to measure the outside diameter of the liner so I create one for myself? Thank you. I can order the plastic clips (part # 90467-A0003) online anytime that holds the liner in place. It appears it takes 10 clips based on the holes I see under the hood for the liner is secured.
