    Could anyone guide me on which walker cat back exhaust I should purchase(part #) to replace my oem exhaust system? Or should I swap with OEM? Looks like the Toyota brand is around $450?

    I personally prefer Bosal over Walker. My experience with Walker wasn't as good as it was with Bosal. The quality and finish wasn't as good and it rusted from the inside out and fell apart in less than a year. Bosal is now owned by Magnaflow so it's not priced as cheap as it once was and I'm not sure what has changed if anything. Maybe go to a Napa and compare their version to a Walker. The price is comparable and it may or not be better quality.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    I have been using Walker Products on all my vehicles for years !

    The thing I like you can get parts most anyplace in the country in a few days.

    The wear is not bad living in the rust and Liquid brine belt.

    Just get the factory replacement Walker Parts

    I have not bought any in years so no clue on current prices.
