Best aftermarket Catalytic system 2nd gen 2.7L

Hello,

I'm looking at buying a 2010 Tacoma 2.7 4wd regular cab here shortly. The cats are missing and so is the secondary 02 sensor (current owner lives in a non-emission county here in Utah and likely never replaced cats after they'd been stolen).

I have no problem with this as it is an easy but expensive fix. I called my local dealership and they quoted me roughly $1,600 for the cat system and roughly $400 for the 1st and 2nd 02 sensors. I'll likely have a cat back built to be on a budget.

I'm just curious if anyone has any experience with aftermarket cats? I'm definitely getting OEM 02 sensors but I wanna know if I can save a little by going aftermarket for cats. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.

 

My cat was replaced free at Toyota. Check your vin for the recall. I can’t see why they wouldn’t replace yours if it wasn’t done. Good luck.

 

I looked up the VIN and don't see any open recalls.

 

Sorry to hear. My old and new cat on the ground

 

Oh well. It was worth checking. Thanks for the suggestion!

 

I ordered the AFE mid pipe instead of any OEM replacement or something custom built. They are taking their time making it...
