    Well I stopped by the dealer today, while they didn't have a new trd pro. They has a 2020 mgm trd pro. Took it for a test drive.

    Now you guys that say it's loud or has a drone, what was your previous vehicle?

    While yes it kinda loud, I don't think its drones its just a v6 with exhaust. Ever heard a Ford raptor?

    I also thought the trd pro rode SO much smoother then my eibach shocks. But thats a different topic.

    So if anyone wants to get rid of your trd exhaust and your close to Pennsylvania pm me

    A Raptor definitely isn't as loud inside. It's a pickup so the sound is separated and they have better sound deadening.

    Depends on how you drive it and your taste. I found it loudest around 2000-2500 RPM which is my normal shift point. Above that it does get quiet.

    TRD PRO exhaust too loud?? Never understood that. Theres nothing special about it to make it loud, actually I think its on the quiet side. Maybe People becoming soft now?? Want an off road rig but sound like a Prius, not gonna happen.

    Let alone, your AT or MT tires are louder than the PRO exhaust

    What does soft mean to not liking a loud cabin? You might have earplugs for eardrums and not hear anything. You might like the sound which I believe is a preference. Also, how does the off-road exhaust improve off-roading?

    I just put a TRD exhaust on my 2023 TRD ORP and it actually sounds really good. It definitely does not drone like others have said they do. I have had Mustangs that you could not hear yourself think in and just got rid of my Audi S5 which had the V6 supercharged with a AWE track exhaust and that thing was louder then this. I know to each is their own but there is just a little nice deep rumble now and even my wife commented on how good it sounds.

    Some people don’t understand what drone is and of course different tastes. However there’s more people that don’t like it than people that do like it. That says something to me but I gave it a shot and ended up not liking it.

    I remember when I was deciding between ordering a ‘22 TRD Pro or an Off Road, and was really digging the lime green (my wife hated the colour). When I started to realize the drone in all the test videos, I knew it would drive me nuts. For reference, except for my last vehicle I’ve had aftermarket on 5 previous cars from a local shop specializing in exhausts. Drove a ‘21 TRD Pro recently and glad I avoided it because of the exhaust. Not sure what Toyota was thinking on this one, very ricer / poor design. It shouldn’t be intrusive for the wrong reason, no balance in good sound vs bad.

    I find it to be more annoying than loud. But after road tripping in my wife's Volvo it does seem loud. If I had the option I would have preferred the stock exhaust over the Pro exhaust.

    I don't get why they have it exiting out the side killing clearance in that spot. It should have been an under exit like aftermarket options to avoid scrapes and bends. If I ever feel the need to swap out my stock exhaust for something with more sound, I'll go with Borla.

    quite the opposite. You’re more likely to scrape the tip on the stock exhaust from the departure angle than side exit.

    That’s the main thing I like on it. If it wasn’t for that I would rather have the stock exhaust because of the drone. I don’t think the drone is horrible but it’s not great either.

    The drone while driving ~2000rpm is kinda annoying. Everything else about the vehicle is top notch. Did not test drive the PRO before ordering, but had driven my buddy's OR-P which is great. If PRO exhaust was an option I would opt out - but it's not annoying enough to spend money to change it. YMMV
