TRD Pro Performance Exhaust Drone

[fpf2]

Anyone notice a significant and annoying drone from the TRD Pro performance exhaust? I've had mine for just over a week now and it can be pretty loud in the cabin. It's also pretty annoying when it changes from electric back to ICE. May look into having a local exhaust company make some improvements (and route the exhaust out the side as well).

Are you aware that engine exhaust sounds are routed into the interior? Not sure why Toyota would decide to do that but that is a thing. And yes it is annoying - especially at highway speeds when you let off the accelerator.

I asked my dealer to turn it off when I picked up my Pro. They couldn’t figure out how.

Apparently the Carista app does allow you to shut it off. So it may be as simple as that for you. No need to rework your exhaust pipes/tip.

The Carista app will remove the fake sound and quiet down your cabin.

I did turn off the engine noise via Carista, but that is a very good point that I left out. It makes a difference on acceleration but not so much with the droning.

Gotcha. You can try to swap exhausts with someone near you that would like the TRD exhaust (Magnaflow I believe) for a regular one...
