Rough Country Dual Cat-Back Exhaust for 2009-2021 Tundra | 4.6L/5.7L - 96012

I needed a new exhaust and checked Amazon and some other online sources. I chose the Rough Country cat back system based on it being stainless steel and something I could do at home. Price was also a factor. It came in one large heavy bulky box. My wife was home and opened the box and carried the parts into the garage. Then she carried the box in and put the parts back into the box. When I got home I looked it over and there was no damage. I removed the exhaust from the truck and followed the instructions and installed the Rough Country cat back system. It was easy and went together well. I went with out the back and had left over parts for out the side exit. I started it up and checked for leaks with nothing detected by sound or vision. I took it for a drive of twenty miles. It is quieter than the Magnaflow that was on the truck. The old exhaust had several rust through spots and had been welded a few times for repair. I listened for droning or other strange noises and I was unable to hear anything that would concern me. It has been almost a werk with this exhaust in place. I crawled back under the truck and everything is still tight and nothing has shifted. Clearance from the rear axle housing snd springs is fine. So not rubbing or rattling. Would I purchase this system again? Yes. Can I recommend it? Yes I included photos of the old exhaust for reference.

Have a 2012 Toyota Tundra with a 5.7 and this exhaust fit perfectly! Sounds great. Has a slight rumble to it but not to loud. Extremely easy to install the only problem I had is it did not come with the gaskets From the converter to the muffler pipes. Definitely read and follow the instructions and lay it out before you start the install that’s when I found out it didn’t come with the gaskets. But overall extremely pleased with the system and will definitely recommend.

2019 Toyota Tundra Limited Easy clear install. Gives a great sound on start up and acceleration, makes it feel like a new truck again. If I had to do it over again I would probably take it to the shop to have it done because I installed this when my truck had 90k miles and the exhaust bolts were rusted shut and the red exhaust holder is stupid tight to get on but definitely aint going anywhere. But if you have the tools to deal with rusted exhaust bolts and basic wrench set, then definitely can do at home. Longest part of the install was the red exhaust holder and getting the original exhaust bolts out, other than that it was easy to plug together when you have it laid out! The exhaust looks as great as it sounds with the simple black tips that are much bigger than original stock. The only deduction in the star would be the clamps bolts are of low grade, I replacement them all when the first 2 broke when I was only half way to torque them down.

Great sound. A nice balance of a low rumble that isn’t obnoxious. Easy to assemble. I would recommend soaking your existing flange bolts in penetrating oil for a day prior to removing them due to excessive heat and exposure to elements. Always great products from RC.

About this sometime in 2023 I will say that the exhaust is pretty decently made pretty much spot on. I love the option of being able to go from the side or directly to the back but the sound department was extremely underperforming. I wanted something I could hear with the windows up. Pretty much got none of that even with the back window down and my 2016 tundra still had no sound so I eventually bought me two Flowmaster flow FX mufflers and put in place gave me what I was looking for Plus some now I’m fixing to change it out for a dual in dual out Flowmaster 40 and see how that goes. Too many adapters needed to do the flow flow FX but if you want quiet, this is your product.

Leveled 2019 Tundra 5.7 SR5 with K&N Dry CAI and Pedal Commander Installed this RC DCBE On the Ground- no ramps or lifts. Easy to install to a point- comes with photos in instructions, but if you watch the YouTube video it’s even easier. Pulling loaded trailers I definitely see and feel more consistent RPMs and MPG (probably because a slight boost in HP keeps me from dropping gears) Estimated minimum 1-3 MPG increase (it’s been windy so hard to say for sure yet) Sound is definitely more aggressive than stock but not too loud as to be annoying. I’m sure I’ll have to check periodically to make sure everything stays tight but so far 300 miles and all good. Primed and painted before install

I got this kit. I love the option of side exit vs rear. I went with rear. The quality isn't amazing. They're already corroded a bit, and the black paint is chipping from the exhaust exits, and the muffler is entirely bare. That, and they refuse to line up properly. So the pipes are a little off center. But for some reason, it's literally the perfect exhaust kit. There's no droan, it's not too loud, but it is loud when you want it to be. It makes my 5.7 sound like a mustang. Absolutely perfect sound. I highly recommend this kit if you can get past the cosmetic quality issues.

It takes a bit of adjustment to get it perfect but goes together well. its pretty quiet overall, and does have some drone at around 1500. It could probably benefit from an x-pipe. Black tips look nice. The added hanger for the dual setup is confusing as the instruction photos arent very clear. You can see that hanger in my photo with the red bushing, hopefully that angle helps a little.
