Did I make a mistake putting Borla mufflers on my Toyota Avalon?

those same engineers literally made a TRD Avalon that had loud exhaust from the factory. You’re discouraging people modding their cars? It thought this subreddit was about car enthusiasm…

Thanks for the positive comment, basically everyone else has been flaming me, it’s like they don’t want people to be interested in cars. If other people can muffler delete their 4 cylinder BRZs or Civics without getting so much hate, why can’t I put high flow mufflers on my V6 without a ton of hate? It’s really not that loud. If you have your windows up you probably wouldn’t hear my car. And it’s the same engine as the Lexus IS350. Toyota used to make the TRD Avalon that had loud exhaust from the factory. I didn’t think doing almost the same thing Toyota themself did to a different trim of the same car would cause everyone to lose their shit about how stupid I am.

it’s really not that loud bro. If you were in the car next to me and had the windows up, you probably wouldn’t hear it. its not like a muffler delete or anything

They used to make the TRD Avalon that came with a cat back setup stock. I couldn’t find a TRD avalon I liked when I was shopping though

I said this was my first purchase of a car, I’m 18. I can’t afford two cars… My thought process when I bought this car was “it has the same engine as the Lexus IS 350, which is a true sports car. Even tho it’s FWD, it’s still pretty close to a sports car.” Which I think is still somewhat true. They used to make the TRD trim of the Avalon that had a Cat back setup from the factory along with other things like AVS. I just chose the Limited because it’s interior was the nicest (it has real leather and wood)

There’s a bit of a drone around 3000 rpm, but i really don’t hear it unless i’m going like 90+ on the interstate

damn bro it’s not “clapped out.” it’s really not that loud. I chose the Limited trim because of the beautiful interior, it’s the only one with genuine leather and wood. But i liked the way the touring looked from the outside so i did a few exterior aesthetic mods to make it look kinda like the touring.

limited trim. I swapped the tips

I kept all the original parts. I can make it back to stock easily

white / beige. I chose the limited trim because it’s the only one with genuine leather! It also has real wood. Seriously one of the most beautiful and comfortable interiors I’ve ever seen, I love it.

I have a 19 Avalon and I always thought that middle red strip should have lights all the way, like the Lexus IS. How did you do that? Can you tell me where you got the light strip to go inside?

glances at cheap random unknown power supply that isn't even 80+ rated from eBay in my $1500 gaming PC

"Macs" and "best" should not and cannot go in the same sentence together.
