Default 4Runner V8 Borla Exhaust for GX470?

I did a search on Borla Exhaust systems for GX470; none available. But I have found a dual Borla Exhaust kit for the V8 4Runner. Would this fit? I know it would look badass on a GX470 and have a really nice exhaust note. But It's not for everyone, since it would make the car sound like a fixed up sport ute a'la Ford Expedition or Suburban with the same kit.

It should have no problem fitting, and Expeditions and Suburbans with exhaust really give the V8s a nice rumble

I would call them and ask first. I definitely think there might be a problem if you had KDSS for example. There could be a few things that get in the way on the GX. Even something like the extra sound insulating materials in the GX could cause problems trying to snake this through.

I am interested though. If you get it to work, please let me know. Does this do anything for HP? Are these headers or what?

From TRD:

The Dual Cat-Back Exhaust Assembly features precision formed stainless steel tubing,
which is fixture-welded for a solid fit and offers a deep, healthy sound over the stock
exhaust system. The assembly bolts together utilizing factory-style flanges and stock
mounting points. Muffler housing and double wall exhaust tips are highly polished with the
TRD logo etched on the outer sides of the tips. This system is legal in all 50 states and does
not exceed the regulatory 95 dB sound levels.
Peak performance offers up to a 4.8% ft/lb gain of torque, as well as up to an additional 4.2% HP over stock.

i called TRD and they gave me the official, "we only approve it for use on the 4runner" line, i guess we won't know until someone actually tries it.
