TRD Cat Back questions

Thinking about picking up a TRD Cat Back from trdparts4u.com and I was kinda curious if I needed to pick up any special tools or extra parts before installing....

I notice I'm going to have to remove and a sensor, I'm assuming the new catback will have a place for this sensor. Other then that everything else looks straight forward....only thing i was curious about is whether I'd need a gasket for the connection or does it come with one...I've noticed some cat back kits dont come with a gasket and want you to use the old one I guess....I wouldnt have a problem picking up a gasket if I need it though....

Thanks...oh, I tried search and got this error

"Network Error (tcp_error)

I just installed the TRD catback on my 1999 runner and it was very, very easy. The catback came with everything you need including 2 new exhaust flange gaskets, 1 o2 sensor gasket, o2 sensor studs that screw into the new exhaust pipe, 2 rear most exhaust flange bolts and nuts, and the hardware to reattach the "resonator" box thingy. One thing to note is that my runner has a single cat so I cannot comment on the dual cat set-up. However, I am sure that it is complete as well. One more note, the fit is excellent - the hangers all line up exactly and everything fits better than stock.

ditto - it is a fun install because the new sound is quite amazing.

Final question...where is the cheapest place to find a TRD cat back from an 04 xcab 4wd?....the cheapest place I could find so far is : www.trdparts4u.com at 569.00

I've had good experiences with trdparts4u.com...I got my skid and trans cooler through them....but i'll try somewhere else if i can pick it up less expensive...

Save that hard earned cash and get a magnaflow 14 or 18 welded on!

I found mine for $460.00 on toyogobo.com (toyota of goldsboro)- - However, I went into my local dealership and they matched the price to within $20 so I just bought it from them and took it home the same day.

Exactly. Even with your local Midas welding it on, you are looking at under $150 for everything.
