TRD Pro exhaust - better performance or just sound?

[Roysleight]

Trying to decide between the Trailhunter and the Pro and wondering if there really is any advantage from the "performance exhaust" that comes on the Pro trim. Does it improve performance or mileage, or is it just the sound of it?

Not sure but why wouldn't you get the cheaper trim and just do a muffler delete or something?

Judging from dyno reports, you're probably better off gaining power/tq by filling up with premium gas instead. "Performance" exhaust by itself, on just about any vehicle, would be hella lucky to get even half of the ~10-20hp gains the 6th gen gets from premium gas.
