Complete Exhaust Replacement Cost?

Any idea what the a complete exhaust system replacment, including cat converter on an '01 regular cab 4x4 would cost? I want to have Toyota do it with lifetime warranty parts once they start on my frame replacement .

Thanks

 

Maybe try a scrap yard? New I'd imagine you'd be well over $2,000 if you went through Toyota assuming you're talking headers, cats, muffler and piping.

 

I got a quote for ~$1400 to fix the p0420 code which was two new cats and two new o2's from the Toyota dealer. I laughed and laughed and said no thanks.

i'd imagine Puggin' is just about spot on for the full thing if you're including new pipes etc.

Or you could just buy your own bolt on performance exhaust and come out ahead. That's what i'd do. (i'm not much for long term warranties on certain things but i understand the reason some like them.)

 

Hello Tacomanewframe,

I just took my 09 4.0 to the local shop for this exact bit of work. From top to bottom replacement including gaskets and bolts was 1400 after I junked the old catalitic converters.

Hope this helps someone else. It's a pretty easy fix as well but most of the cost came from the cat converters.

 

Does such a thing even exist?

My imagination says no.

Hope you can prove me wrong.

 

On my 01 my exhaust guy is gonna gut the first cat, replace the second cat and move the O2 sensor downstream of it, so I'll only have one cat to worry about in the future. $600.

 

Went through this a couple years ago. Everything sorta went out at the same time: Header cracked in half so I replaced it with OEM. Then the muffler had rusted holes and started leaking so I replaced it with OEM. Then the O2 sensors were rusting out at the base and the gaskets between the cats were leaking.

I tried to do it piece meal, but in the end replaced the entire system brand spanking new with OEM... everything including hardware. Its easy and everything just bolts up. Was expensive but it will last another 20 years. Sold the used Cats to a recycling yard to offset the price of the new ones.

Almost $4000 for OEM.

 

Is there a reason to go OEM for all that, other than the O2 sensors?

 

Yeah did all mine with a walker tacoma drop-in tail/muf/mid pipe, a JC Witney level cat, and a $100 ebay stainless header.

Total all new $450, not including the 02's ....

Should get me to 2045 without issues....


I figured anything beyond that was horses#@t.

 

IMO….no.
Muffler Shop can get you in and out for $750 or less (no O2’s)

OE is great
But
Not the cost effective replacement decision
Hell, in few years, AM will be the owner’s only repair choice. Toyota is/will not be stocking 20yr old parts anyway

to each his own.
