Estimated cost to replace exhaust gasket ring
anyone have a ballpark for what cost I may expect for a garage
to replace the gasket ?
starting at the rear cat, headed toward the engine, there
is one metal gasket on the pipe right after the front cat,
this is the one I need replaced.
is it replaceable without big engine bay work ?
thanks

I remember removing that section of exhaust from a 2001 V6 Taco, one nut came off like normal, one stud unscrewed, one stud snapped. I don't remember it being that hard to get to but the broken stud had to be drilled out (PITA). I think it can all be done from under the truck, without even lifting the hood. A good muffler shop would probably be your best bet, but get the gasket from the dealer and take it with you.
These are probably the gasket you need.

yeah...just some eye protection and elbow grease, new gasket and bolts, and
the old bolts surprisingly came off with PB blaster and vice grips. short job, only made
hard because I did it on the ground without any stands or lift

I went cheap with automart gasket from some unknown 3rd world country
and some fine pitch metric hardware I scrounged up
The parts looked the same as yer pic
didn't need any muffler snot, the gasket alone was fine.
