    My 2008 v6 taco has an exhaust leak, I can’t find where the leak is coming from by putting my hand at each flange and feeling so I’m planning on just buying everything id need to do a full replacement of the gaskets and working on the most accessible gaskets first and stopping once I fix it. Is there one generic gasket the fits all the connections? Looking on the diagrams there is a different part number for each connection. Could I just use a generic exhaust flange gasket from the auto parts store? If so what size would I need? Any advice is appreciated!

    Did this a couple months ago along with installing a new muffler which had a fist size hole in it. I went with OEM gasket on my 2012, 150K miles:

    -17451-0A010 X 1
    -9091706083 X 1
    -9008043036 X2
    -Walker Quiet Flow SS Muffler

    Gaskets were all gone, completely shredded. I also bought replacement nuts and bolts as a few were completely rusted. Properly cleaned flanges with a small chisel and brush grinder. Didn't bother looking at the manifold, seemed like a big job and no signs of leaking. Some bolts broke which made the job longer than expected. Muffler needed an adapter but easy to install. Now my taco purrs like if it were new :)
