exhaust/muffler exchangability...
hey everyone,
so i dont know much about exhaust systems/mufflers, so here is my question. i have a 94 4x4 with the 3.0. My muffler has been getting loud for the past few months and i am sick of patching the holes with muffler weld. i was wondering if anyone knows if other gen 4runner/tacomas mufflers will work with my truck? thanks a lot for any info.

ebay is your friend 3.0 exhaust auction . I just got a replacment Walker cat-back system (came with everything I needed) from them for $114 shipped, this ones a little more but mine is a 22re. Midas wanted $350 to replace it. Took me 2 hours to install it today. good luck.

I'm with Pirate. eBay a replacement, or build a replacement. Before it goes on, buy a can of Dupli-Color high-temp paint & paint it. Let it run an hour-couple of hours to make sure it bakes on & DO NOT scratch it/clear coat it before it's had a chance to bake on awhile.
You're good to go 4 a long time then.

thanks everyone for all the responses. i like the idea of new everything from the cat back, but i cant do it myself right now because im at school, and i dont think i have the funds right now to pay for it. if i were to go the ebay route, would everything have to be welded on, or is it bolt on? thanks for all the input.
oh yea, i wasnt going to go with a used system....well, not much anyway. sometimes you see people selling exhaust systems in the classifieds forum, just wondering if parts from other trucks would work. thanks again.

piratefins,
i dont know about your system, but the bolts and the parts that are bolted together between the cat and the muffler are very rusted. how did you deal with this? i would like to do this myself, especially if it only takes a couple hours, but i definitely dont have any power tools on hand, and those bolts are definitely not coming out the easy way. thanks a lot.

Sorry I didn't get back to you. Glad to see you got it taken care of for a low price.
I have a compressor and air tools + I soaked all of the bolts and nuts the night before with PB Blaster. So even if I get get them off normally (wrenching) I will just use my cut-off tool. When I put the new system on I put Anti-seize on all of the threads so they will be less of a pain to get off in the future.

maxpower_hd :I priced a cat back system from Advanced for a 22R. It was about $75 for everything minus the cat. The cat was another $65.
Just wanted to nip a potential problem in the bud! Looks like he got it taken care of for a good price.
