My two boys (soon to be 3) LOVE being in the burb due to it's size. They think it's pretty cool. My oldest likes it, too, because of the 3rd row and he can get back there and basically be by himself :)

Thanks, No plans to mod this one since my wife only cares about getting from point A to B. I was going to add the factory Bose system and Nav, but I read that the 07+ Bose audio sucks??? BTW I have a Supra that't my toy, been working on it for 2 years now!!!!

Yeah my wife only cares about A to B as well but I still throw my mods at it and still have many more to do. She could care less but as the mods continue she likes it more and more :lol: So far, the only mods she's even noticed (other than the interior ones) was the exhaust and the removal of the bug shield and that took her like 3 days to realize :lol:

What type of exhaust did you get? Glad you got rid of the bug shield:)

Magnaflow muffler with SLP tips. Nice rumble and no drone which is very important to me for a family hauler :)

Which Magnaflow did you go with? I'm looking at getting the 11249. Also, can you post a video clip of the sound if possible?

I went with 12589 mainly because I was going for one that I was confident wouldn't produce much drone or be too loud on acceleration only because I have the kiddos that ride in the back two rows. It sounds good and you can definitely tell the difference in exhaust note as it's much more aggressive sounding but at highway speeds there's no drone inside the vehicle :)

You know sometimes I could just slap myself for not using common sense. I know by now to look in the signature first before asking. I see now that it is listed in your mods signature. Forgive my overlooking ass. Thanks for not calling me out for missing that:)

Oh and congrats on boy #3 coming soon.

:lol: It's not a big deal. If we all ready everyone's sig information we'd spend more time reading than posting up our witty responses :D ...and I KNOW if I'd called you out on it I would have done the same thing in a different thread and had to bear the same burden :chicken:

Thanks for the congrats. He'll be here in March so it'll be very soon!!:party33:
