The best Gibson exhausts for a late-model truck are the brand's application-specific cat-back systems, and this collection leads with the Gibson Cat-Back Single Exhaust for the 2024-2025 Toyota Tacoma 2.4L Double Cab, its short-bed counterpart, and a Black Elite dual-split system for the 2017-2020 Honda Ridgeline. If you want a deeper exhaust note and a bolt-on system engineered for your exact cab and bed configuration, these are the Gibson options at JDMuscle.
A cat-back exhaust replaces everything from the catalytic converter rearward — mid-pipe, muffler, and tailpipe — which is where exhaust sound is shaped. What to look for is fitment precision first: cab size, bed length, and engine all change the pipe routing, which is why the two Tacoma systems here are listed separately for the Double Cab and the Double Cab Short Bed, both for the 2.4L in 2024-2025 trucks. After fitment, choose your exit style and finish: the Tacoma systems use a single exit, while the Ridgeline's Black Elite system splits into dual exits with a black finish. Tacoma owners can browse the full truck catalog in our Toyota Tacoma aftermarket parts collection alongside this exhaust.
Gibson concentrates on exhausts for trucks and SUVs, and the sampled range shows its formula: complete cat-back systems built per application rather than universal mufflers, offered in distinct lines such as the standard single-exit systems and the Black Elite series, whose dual-split layout and dark finish target owners who want the exhaust to be part of the truck's look. Shoppers comparing truck exhaust brands should also look at MagnaFlow, known for stainless cat-back systems with a smooth, deep tone, and Borla, which built its name on performance exhausts with a sharp, aggressive sound character. MBRP is the other truck-focused name in the store, popular for affordable cat-back systems in a range of materials and exit styles. For a general primer on what a system like this changes, read our overview of why enthusiasts upgrade their exhaust systems.
Will the Tacoma cat-back fit my truck?
Only if the configuration matches: these systems fit the 2024-2025 Tacoma with the 2.4L engine, in Double Cab or Double Cab Short Bed form. Check your year, engine, cab, and bed against the product title before ordering.
Does a cat-back exhaust require a tune?
Cat-back systems are designed to work with the factory calibration, since they change piping behind the catalytic converter rather than the engine's sensors or fueling. No tune is required for the exhaust itself.
How difficult is installation?
Cat-backs are bolt-on systems that reuse factory hanger locations, so installation is a common driveway job with the truck safely raised. Penetrating oil for the old hardware and a second pair of hands for alignment make it easier.
What is the difference between the single and dual-split systems?
The Tacoma systems exit as a single tailpipe, while the Ridgeline Black Elite system splits into two exits for a different look and sound character. Choose based on your truck's application listing first, then the style you prefer.
