I know folks have fitted 4 runner and Remus but cant speak on the benefits other than reduction in weight which is a given the OEM weighs about 19lb !! take care what you go for I fitted an aftermarket straight through muffler with fibreglass packing which fused into a hard shell inside then broke up after about 3 weeks , I replaced the packing with a aftermarket fibreglass strand packing and it is fusing also after about 3 months I have just repacked it again with the same stuff (cos thats what I had handy)but intend to replace it with steel wool packing as I expect the fibreglass packing to fuse again it seems to fuse local to the start of the baffle which is an insert like a cigar tube set into the end of the pipe about 8", I suspect the gas is getting slowed just there due to the end of the baffle and heats up that location. I expect the steel wool packing will cope with the heat and hopefully the pressure pulses :-\

Been using Leo Vinće for a month now. Noticed quicker accelaration, not yet tested on top speed if some kph will be added, but it can reach 170kph much faster.
