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

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.

 

cool thank you....

 

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!

 

Is that magnaflow really a better choice then the TRD....?

 

the money doesnt really bother me....I just hate buying something here and seeing the same thing cheaper there....and I also want a bolt on kit I can do myself with out welding and pipe bending....

 

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.

 

Toyogobo.com didnt work for me, is there a different webpage?

 

got mine from toyotaparts4u. great price and quick shipping.

 

hey thats more expensive! heheh

 

I found the price on ebay under the seller toyogobo. Just do a search for tacoma cat back and it should come right up..

 

yeah they didnt have any on there now...i emailed them asking when the next time they would be putting one up for bidding or if they could sell it too me without an auction....
