    What makes the fj sound so much better then the 4runner? Its the same engine, same 4 cats., same shape/style exhaust(from what I can tell)

    My buddy came over in his fj, made me jealous I wanted a fj so bad but the wife said no get something new.

    I want my 4runner to sound just like a fj. Do fj exhaust fit the 4runner?

    Get a more aggressive sounding muffler for your 4Runner. Don’t know how aggressive or loud you are trying to go, but try the Super Series 10 Flowmaster Muffler. Had this muffler on my Tacoma and it always turned heads! Deep, loud, aggressive sound.

    This and a Gibson or Magnaflow performance muffler.
    I've been running this set up for years.
    But, If you live in a state w a visual emission inspection, that can be a problem for the Y pipe as it eliminates the secondary CAT.

    1GR-FE Dual VVT-i is in a crap load of modern Toyotas. Pretty sure its the same engine in the 2010 and up FJ Cruiser.
    The earlier 4Runners and FJs had a very similar engine in the 1GR-FE before they upgraded the engine in MY 2010. Tacomas ran the early version all the way up to 2015, then they received the 3.5 liter for MY 2016.
    4Runners are tuned very anemic from the factory so they can avoid the import gas guzzler tax.
    So our exhaust is very anemic as well.
