OEM parts gurus - dimensions/pics of stock rear muffler 1978 2F (1 Viewer)

[AussieFJ40]

Hi guys

As part of my resto I am recreating the OEM exhaust system as closely as I can, albeit with extractors up front.

Part of this means sourcing a muffler that closely resembles the OEM item. Would anyone be able to provide basic dimensions (length x diameter) of the stock rear muffler, and perhaps some good pics to show mounting orientation?

From memory the muffler is offset entry/central exit?

Any help appreciated!

Are you sure the exhaust isn't available from Toyota new?

NLA...at least via dealers here in Oz.

I'll try to document my '78s as closely as possible.

The later muffler is still available here in the US market.

The available later muffler is very similar to the unavailable one you want for '78. You'd just have to weld a pipe to it, or live with the minor difference.

I have a Toyota muffler and tailpipe for my 82 sitting at my dealer now waiting for me to pick up...be a few days, but be happy to take pic. the original is still in decent shape.....but the tailpipe looks bad, so before my parts guy retires in a week......I am making a rather large order..

Thanks beno I was hoping you might chime in!

Can you confirm the current p/n is 17430-61120? A cursory look at the EPC/Google tells me it has been superseded a couple of times over the years.

Local dealers can give me no joy on the above p/n - I will drop you an email to discuss

Thanks mate. It would be great if you could post the length/diameter of the muffler, as well as the inlet/outlet pipe diameter!

That is correct sir. I will get pics of the part later today. I can measure whatever you might need as well.

 

[OGBeno]

Some pics with rough measurements. Forgot my calipers at home so sorry.

Nice TEQ and Futaba logos.

 

[OGBeno]

Some more...

Some final ones

Fantastic - many thanks for the detailed measurements.

I rather want one now, I think it would finish off the resto perfectly. Just in case it is prohibitive to have one shipped - were you able to advise the length of the main muffler section?

Cheers

I really need to read more often before I take pics, Beno beat me to it.

BTW, its a heavy bugger for just a muffler and tailpipe

That's pretty sweet they're still selling a muffler for a 33 to 37 year old truck.

Nice pic! Any chance you could measure the length of the muffler can itself?
