Exhaust replacement?

I have a 2008 2.7 - exhaust connections are rusting out - if I can't figure out how to keep together I'll need new - I don't want anything fancy or loud mufflers - I'm sure this has been covered so any information or links appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

I'd vote for OEM exhaust. They seem to last the longest although can be pricey from the dealer. You'll have to do some surfing to find the best online price. Shipping can be a deal breaker. Maybe someone else will chime in with a link that has free shipping....

 

Everything aftermarket I've heard is a bandaid fix that lasts a few years tops. Go with OEM and pay once.

 

OEM. Best quality, sound balance.
Anything aftermarket will either sound ricey or not last.
My local dealer has better pricing online, free curbside pick up.

 

If it is only the connections, take it to an exhaust shop and see if they can cut out the connection and weld in a couple new connectors, or even delete the connection with a single piece welded in.
If the exhaust needs to be replaced, stick with OEM. I’ve used https://toyotaparts.bochtoyotasouth.com/ for exhaust parts.

 

Thanks everyone - I need to get part numbers for OEM - guess I'll call the iink https://toyotaparts.bochtoyotasouth.com/to check it out. Thanks again.

 

I used the products in this video and it worked like a charm.... Only cost me $10 to fix my exhaust

You'll pay more for OEM. But it'll last a lot longer as well.

 

Thanks - I tried a similar product but I don't have any flange left because of rust.

 

Thanks. I'm leaning this way.

 

Yikes... Wish I knew an easy fix for that..

 

You guys that bought OEM - how much did you pay and where did you buy - I went on line and got best price of $450 and $100 shipping but some wanted $300 - $400 shipping - ridiculous. I'm going 2 C what the local dealer wants. Thanks for any info.

 

What site did you find it for that price? Seems very affordable to me.

 

Passport Toyota, Serra Toyota, Sheehy Toyota, South Dade Toyota

 

Did you check craigslist or facebook marketplace for oem takeoffs that someone else didn't want? I see them all the time for decent prices. What size truck/cab/bed do you have?

 

I haven't checked there yet. I see that you're in NJ too, if you come across something plz send it my way. I'd really appreciated it. I have a double cab, short bed.

Thanks!!

 

I just changed my exhaust from oem to a Gibson stainless steel cat back. It was, from the reviews I saw and heard, the least ricer sounding exhaust that wasn’t oem.

I was going to replace mine with oem but the dealerships around me wanted 4-500, I picked that Gibson one up for around 300 on Amazon. Definitely a bit louder than stock but nothing crazy. All the other ones sound like Honda Civic garbage

 

One thing to look out for with the stock exhaust systems is that they changed the tailpipe hanger around 2011-2012. The older trucks have the tailpipe hanger at 90 degrees from the pipe, the 11-12 on up have the tailpipe hanger straight in line with the pipe. You could try a 90 degree hanger insulator (rubber piece) or try bending the hanger from straight in line to 90 degrees sideways.

 

Check McGeorge Toyota too.

 

I'll look but I have a 2.7 Access Cab 127" wheel base - maybe I can contact Gibson direct for the part number.
How is it holding up ? How long have you had it ? Thanks.
