You should get this Borla exhaust. It is a Dual Exhaust 50 State Legal CARB Approved. So you can be louder, but legal. No need to be silly fart-can loud either. http://www.trdsparks.com/displayparts.php?Mdl_dtl=570&Part_cat=2&parts_id=1958Borla’s high-performance Exhaust System is now available for the 2008 Scion XB! This rear-exit system offers you aggressive motor sport styling with street commanding sound and maximum flow for more power. It has ultra smooth mandrel bends made from T-304 stainless steel and all-welded construction for durability. The angled polished tips add a high quality finishing touch to your xB. |

I have the borla dual. Its rippy at first when you start the car. After it warms up it sounds amazing. It also removes the very last resonator but still sounds nice.

I got the head in front so the front cat is gone and the rear resonator is gone. Everything in between is still there.

i have a flowmaster under mine too, and i removed my res and its brutally loud. it is very raspy, but kind of fun.. also i did go with the 10 series which as mufflers go its a pretty poor excuse. I have to see about calming the noise down a little it draws a lot of attention and im sure my neighbors dont like me when i come home from work late at night. i would say look into an aero ar25 resonator or something along those lines to cut the noise down a little

  this is the latest version of the exhaust, everything from the cat back has been cut out... it is 2.5" pipe back to this poor excuse for a muffler. I have to get myself a resonator soon to cut down on the rasp. i did this with my crappy digital camera so it wasnt the best sound |

I run the Strup Header and Strup Exhaust. It sounds awesome. Not raspy at all. But you can tell it has been changed. I am thinking of changing the scuba tank out. I wont take it out all the way. But maybe do a hi flow cat or something in there. I took the one out of my tC like you guys have done and it was very loud and annoying. Right now I love the way mine sounds. I will see if I can get a sound clip at some point.

Its axle back. Its sounds kinda rippy when it first starts up, but after warm up it sounds very nice and deep. I love the way it sounds and looks.
Oh by the way you still interested in the wheels?

Haven't had a chance to do dyno tests. However I still have all the factory parts so I could do it later if I wanted. |

I like the full TRD system with headers. My friend has that on his TC and it sounds great. No farting or anything.
