The Overland Series exhaust system is one of MagnaFlow's most popular options in their catalog, and now you can slap one on your 2016-2023 Tacoma without a ton of hassles. Designed specifically for 3rd gen Tacomas, the 2016-2023 Tacoma MagnaFlow Overland Series Cat-Back Performance Exhaust offers a quality balance of both performance and sound so you feel more confident each time you get behind the wheel. The main section of the Overland Series was constructed from 3-Inch, mandrel-bent stainless steel tubing that delivers impressive strength and durability for even the most extreme driving conditions. Each one of the components featured on this kit was then CNC-machined for a perfect fitment and long-lasting performance, giving your truck a brilliant look and consistent operation for many years to come. In order to acheive MagnaFlow's signature rumble each time you hop on the accelerator, each one of the Overland Series exhausts were engineered using a straight-through muffler design that improves the overall flow of your exhaust. While it's great to improve the exterior noise of your truck, you probably don't want to be burdened by the thundering exhaust note when sitting inside of your cab. This is exactly why MagnaFlow designed this system with their No Drone Technology (NDT) to help eliminate interior noise by cancelling out the natural droning frequencies your Tacoma generates at highway speeds.

2016-2023 Tacoma MagnaFlow Street Series Exhaust System

Moving on to the second and final option for the 2016-2023 Tacoma, the Street Series Exhaust seriously brings out the personality of your truck in a simple and effective package. While there's always something more cooking up in MagnaFlow's lineup of Tacoma exhaust systems, the Street Series is a one of the most advanced exhaust systems currently on the aftermarket, so there really is no reason to flood their catalog with multiple iterations of the same system. When it comes time to purchase, you'll be presented with two options: 2016-2023 Tacoma MagnaFlow Street Series Cat-Back Exhaust System (127" Wheelbase) and 2016-2023 Tacoma MagnaFlow Street Series Cat-Back Exhaust System (140" Wheelbase).

Each one of the Street Series Cat-Back Exhausts come equipped with MagnaFlow's signature resonant and powerful exhaust tone along dyno-proven performance gains that only benefit the capabilities of your ride. The main construction of the Street Series is quite similar in nature to the Overland Series as it comes equipped with a fast-flowing, mandrel bent 3-Inch main piping with a singular straight-through muffler design that ends in a single side-exit on your Tacoma. The main difference is that the Street Series features a singular straight-through muffler that offers a more moderate exterior tone compared to the deep, throaty growl produced by the Overland Series. Even though this isn't the loudest exhaust system MagnaFlow has to offer, you'll still be leaving other cars and trucks feeling envious at every stoplight. The street series will also come standard with a dual-walled, angle-cut polished exhaust tip that adds an impressive appeal to the rear-end of your Tacoma, perfectly complimenting any other performance mods or Exterior Upgrades you've already installed. Additionally, the Street Series is incredibly easy to install as it was produced using CNC precision robotic manufacturing that allows for a perfect, drop-in replacement of your factory exhaust system.

Final Thoughts

Now that you've seen everything MagnaFlow has to offer for your 2016-2023 Tacoma so far, it can be a bit difficult to decide between the two options. If pure exhaust tone is what you're aiming for, we recommend picking up the Overland Series system as it allows you to pick up a larger exhaust tip if you desire to increase your truck's tone to the max. If you simply want an immediate performance upgrade without a ton of hassles, choose the Street Series exhaust as it already comes equipped with a tip, so you don't have to go out of your way to choose the best tip for your particular intentions. In any case, either of these exhaust systems will seriously update the overall style and performance of your rig, giving you plenty of confidence each time you set off for adventure.
