Magnaflow
(Make sure you buy the 14" unit if you want the louder sound.
Buying the longer ones will yield a mellower like sound with less low tone.
Also most of the Magnaflows we get are of the aluminum type, and not the stainless steel one)
This is how the Magnaflow sounds on my (Corey) '91 3.0 4Runner.
It sounds way better in person though, as the video can't capture the true sound of it sitting still.
Sounds even better when you are driving.

UPDATE (6-11-02)

Some have been wondering which part # it is for the same Magnaflow I have.
I just confirmed with Stan's Headers where I bought mine at.
The part # for the 2.25" inlet/outlet 14" muffler is 11225.
The part # for the 2.50" inlet/outlet 14" muffler is 11226.

My muffler has the entrance tube in the center, and the exit tube offset to the drivers side.
The muffler is 14" long not counting the tubes that exit front and rear.

Here is a Magnaflow finally on a 3.4 engine in a 3rd gen 4Runner.
This is TS1's 2000 4Runner
This is the 14" one part # 12226 for 2.50" pipes. (I don't know why it does not match my #s up above though.

Many also wonder what size tubing to use with their new exhaust setup.
Well wonder no more, here is a picture from Dynomax's website.
Just compare your engine size and horsepower from the chart, and it will show you what size tubing is needed.
Remember, if you go to big, you loose low end torque, but gain it in the upper end.
Only racers need the torque in the upper end.
