Proudly Made in the USA: Carven products are handcrafted in-house with precision and pride, ensuring the highest quality and performance standards.
The first thing you notice is the sound. At idle it has a deep, low rumble that finally lets the V8 sound like a V8. When you step on the throttle it becomes aggressive and throaty without sounding obnoxious. On the highway it settles down nicely and doesn’t overpower the cabin, which makes it perfect for daily driving or long trips. Many owners report that Carven mufflers deliver a deep tone while staying comfortable at cruising speeds. 
The build quality is impressive. The welds are clean and the stainless-steel construction feels solid and durable. Everything lined up well during installation, and the system feels like it will last for years even with off-road use. Carven systems are TIG-welded and designed as direct bolt-on kits, which makes installation straightforward. 
Another huge benefit is the high-clearance design. The exhaust sits tucked up under the truck instead of hanging low like the factory system. For anyone who wheels their 4Runner or takes it overlanding, this is a big plus because you don’t have to worry about smashing the tailpipe on rocks or trail obstacles. 
Driving the truck now just feels more fun. The improved exhaust flow and sound make the 4Runner feel more responsive and alive compared to the stock setup. It’s one of those mods that instantly makes the vehicle more enjoyable every time you start it.
Pros
• Deep, aggressive V8 sound
• Quality stainless-steel construction
• High-clearance design for off-road use
• Simple bolt-on installation (easy install)
• Great balance of performance and tone
Cons
• Quite a bit louder than stock (which most people buying it actually want)
Overall:
If you own a 4.7L 4Runner and want an exhaust that sounds great, looks clean, and works well for off-road builds, the Carven exhaust is one of the best upgrades you can make. It wakes the truck up without being over the top, and the quality is exactly what you’d expect from a premium aftermarket system.
Great product and easy install; removal of the old one can be tricky tho. V8 sound, feel, and drive is exactly what I was missing and brought out by this exhaust. I had a mkiii supra with a cat back exhaust and it’s very reminiscent of that inline 6. Same genetics, different vibe 🤙🏼 if you got the v8 make it sound like one with this!!!
Car sounds great not too loud but it is noticeable. I do feel alittle rattle but during idle but nothing too much and then I forget about it. Overall I love it and craftsmanship and welds are very nice.
Loving this exhaust. The YouTube video they have for this made the install go very smooth!! Was able to back up the GX onto some ramps and do it in my driveway in about an hour.
Finally an exhaust system that lets this small v8 engine sound deep and throaty.. definitely an exhaust system you can hear.. overall great sound and quality. Easy installation. Couldn’t be happier making the switch
Legit quality and functionality. Second to none imo. Took advantage of the 13% off and never looked back. Might have to buy anyother kit for my 2023 t4r 🤔
Product is as advertised.
Does have a bit more drone than what is lead to believe, which took a while to get used to.
Happy with the turnout.
The sales communication process was a little less than I had hoped for, and lead time a touch longer than expected, but product arrived and still worthy of a 5 star overall!
The sound was more than i expected. Deep and throaty. Easy install. Sounds like an F350 now.
Amazing
I waited a long time for this to arrive, was actually going to cancel my order a few times, and just head to a custom exhaust shop. However, I remained patient, and after 6 weeks and 4 days it arrived!
I had this exhaust installed in 20 minutes, extremely easy to work with. The finish and the welds are excellent quality. On the first start-up, my GX let out an aggressive growl and rumbled! I had the biggest small on my face. My wife said "It doesnt sound like a Lexus anymore" I did an evil laugh and said be quiet woman.
Very happy with this purchase, this is not for the faint heart.
I had read good reviews of the dump exhaust kit for the GX460, so I grabbed one recently as it was on sale. The build quality is great, and installation was a breeze. It sounds awesome on startup, and while cruising in 6th gear, it's quiet. However, I do get lots of resonance on acceleration, and going up a long hill in 4th or 5th gear is pretty tough on my ears. At highway speeds approaching 70 mph, there is a little too much noise for me. It's a great product, but I think it's just too loud for me.
Fit great. Very easy to install. Looks nice and sounds great. Now my gx460 sounds like a v8
Well made and measured, having the carven exhaust for my gx470 makes me more excited to drive offroad because of the additional performance and extra clearance! More importantly, NOT bad for its price as well!
It looks great but the 2 parts in the kit dont even fit together. I cant say im impressed with the quality control.

Quality is great. Sound is great from .5k - to 1.7k rpm. At around 2000 rpm it’s pretty loud. If you will be driving around 2k rpm near police officer - you likely will get pulled over. If you install it and want to return it on the same day - it will not work. Customer service will recommend you to just sell it on the Craigslist.
I removed it from my car and it’s laying in the garage ( will use it on my off-road rig )
Awsome addition to my GX470! Great low sound with a nice growl to it, loud enough to enjoy without being to obnoxious. Only issue I had was the front two hangers are welded opposite of my OEM hangers, rear hangers fit fine. Would like to have 4 points of contact in place of 2 but beggars can't be choosers! Tons of clearance with my exhaust now and a great sound make having 2/4 hangers a very small detail. Welds on the exhaust are great and the overall quality of this exhaust excellent. Beautiful product!
I was a bit worried since I was unable to find a video of the exhaust on a V8, I could only find them on the V6. I am so happy with how it turned out. It is exactly what the V8 4Runner should sound like, it does have a pretty loud drone at about 2k rpms but it’s manageable.
Never received my order till now!!
Awesome exhaust, great build quality! Highly Recommend!
Great high quality product and in my case with the 4.7 gives a awesome sound loud enough to let you know you have an exhaust but quiet enough that when you put the windows up it's not stopping conversations on the highway
Made great super easy install just a little to much resignation for my taste other than that it’s a great product for a great price
Install was very straightforward, old exhaust was rusted out and had to be cut out. This exhaust due to sitting high is nice for going off roading and it sounds great, definitely more natural sounding of a V8.
Will I gave them a call 📞 and talked to one of the employees which was nice and refreshing the overall build of stainless and tig welding is killer installation was a breeze top quality definitely wakes up the V8 there is a drone decibel level at about 1000 to 2000 RPM that doesn’t do good with my ears, but overall I am pleased with the product and the price point
Installing the dump exit kit on my gx460 woke up the beast in it. It’s going to take some getting use to the sound since I drive it everyday but for now, I am liking it. Thanks Carven
Sounds most excellent
Absolutely love the the sound. It’s a nice deep rumble. In theory I should get better MPG, not sure that’s going to happen for a little while due to me enjoying the sound of the mechanical symphony that now plays underneath my GX.
Product arrived in good condition, install process was simple, and the upgrade in that V8 sound and feel is remarkable.
