NYTOP Axle Dump (axle-back) Exhaust installed w/ sound clip video

E.T. · Dec 15, 2025

Not my Trailhunter, but thought this @NYTOP Axle Dump (axle back) Exhaust install and sound clip would be helpful feedback to other owners:

I didn’t like how the TrailHunter came with the regular exhaust that hung down pretty low (even though it did have the slash cut on it for clearance). I wanted a little more clearance for when I start wheelin it in the spring.

The sound is actually a little louder than I expected (I didn’t think the little muffler at the end would actually do much). It is not in anyway too loud. It gives it a slightly louder, deeper tone that actually sounds pretty good for it being a 4cyl.

Very tempting! I
It sounds so much like my old 22RE w/ a flowmaster 40 ! Love it!
Thanks for sharing!

For me it’s more that the $$$ spent just gives a subjectively better/worse sounding result and no performance benefit.

IMO, and just my opinion who loves tinkering with headers/exhausts, etc, I would not spend the money on a 4-banger 4R. On this truck, and I can't believe I'm saying this, it's better off silent. Even though the iforcemax has plenty of power, the engine always sounds like it's struggling when you give it throttle.

I love my Pro, but it sounds like sh*t. Nothing you can do to change it. All this does is amplify a sh*tty sound.

Agree. I honestly hate the sound of this motor, and it’s even worse in Sport mode. Love the rest of it but man that sound is just bad.

@E.T. - resurfacing this post. How are you liking the NYTOP product now? I just removed my tire from under the vehicle and moved to a swing out. The tire gave the exhaust some protection that it now lacks. thinking about trying to gain some clearance. Not many products for this other than NYTOP or SXTH Element. curious to hear your thoughts 9 months later.
