California New York Compliant Catalytic Converter Replacement needed on 100 series 2007 Landcruiser (1 Viewer)

[tmtmv]

Looking for recomendations on Catalytic Converter Repalcement of my 2007 Landcruiser.
Im in New York so it needs to be California compliant and outside of the ridiculously expensive Toyota
Prt the only other option I have found is the AP Exhaust Part # 24067-06359760 and Parts Geek is out of Stock
Any Help here would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

If it’s only the cat that you need, any competent shop that can weld can just weld in any properly sized cat. Magnaflow looks like it has some direct bolt on options. I used a direct bolt in magna flow cat when I had a rock hit the cat of one of my AMG‘s. it was 650 instead of 5500 and I replaced it in an hour myself.

finding used ones is probably your best bet.

Did you get code P0420 and P0430? Or is it rusted? If it is the 420/430 code you need to do other things before you slap on Cats.

Used are not legally available. Unless certified, which nobody does due to cost. You'll never see a salvage yard or shop sell or install used.
It's a $20K fine.

Your local Catalytic converter install shop will have and know.

CO., also adopted higher standards. So those Cat manufactures that can't or haven't yet certified, will not ship to CO. or those states with higher standards.

Amazon and other third party seller, will ship anywhere. Compliant or not!

Most any CAT will pass tial pipe test. Cost has more to do with quality and longevity. The Toyota OEM is a good as you'll fine.

There's a 25% sale off wholesale, this weekend:

Toyota sale, 25% off wholesale and free shipping WOW

Nothing like a "sale" to make folks just buy stuff.

I am going through a similar situation, but.. I found an exhaust leak where the passenger CAT pipe attaches to the header downpipe. I am going to try to tackle this in the driveway with ramps (and the AHC full up). The exhaust on my 06 is very solid. What do I need to disconnect to replace the gasket in that connection (also purchased new bolts (look like studs to me)), though the ones in there look really good. Hit it with some PB and letting it sit.

Can I just unbolt that flange (3 bolts) and slip the new seal in there or do I need to disconnect other bits of the exhaust to give me enough play? When under there I can't move the exhaust system what-so-ever. - thanks in advance.

So far - downstream O2 sensor
Inspected (visually) vac /air
Cleaned MAF
New air filter
Ran the exhaust leak test with a blower and some soapy water.

Have upstream o2 (Fuel air sensor) that will be going in as well.

You can slip in a new gasket. But you'll not be able to clean the mating (each flange) surfaces effectively, for the gasket to seal/set properly.

The exhaust manifold to cat flange. Has 3 studs in exhaust manifold. I wire brush threads of studs form below, as clean as I can get them. Then add penetrating oil. I do this, days in advance if I can and keep re adding P oil. I do the same for rear cat to Y pipes 2 nuts and bolts. I do the same, for sensors.

When ready to remove cat for exhaust manifold. I unplug the o2 sensor. I use long 1/2 drive impact extension, 14mm impact socket and impact wrench. This is when the prep of thread cleaning and P. oil, pays-off. Hopefully, the 3 nuts come off, without damaging the manifold studs. If studs damaged, often they can still be used. By chasing the threads. If not, good luck getting old studs out.
If the two rear Y pipe nuts, are to far gone for removal. I get out the angle grinder. I do not reuse any bolts or nuts. So makes no difference if these two bolts cut off. Just takes more time and tools.

I find the number one killer of CATs, beside prolonged idling (read OM). Is a bad MAF sensor. A bad MAF will take out a cat fast. I've also seen aftermarket MAF take out cats, without MAF DTC (codes).

Toyota states: exhaust leak will damage cats. But I've yet ti see that happen. Even in very badly cracked exhaust manifold to head flange cracks, driven for ~100K miles. I think Toyota concerns is: Air leak in exhaust, may give false signal (VIA o2 sensor) to ECM resulting in rich fuel mixture..

I had Davico Cat on my test SAI mod 07, for the last 4 years. They worked fine, It's a daily driver, driving short trips, rarely getting on HWY. Which is the worst for CATs, only second to prolonged idling. Last week I swapped in a set of new OEM Cats. As a test to make sure, they don't fail as the factories did, before my SAI filter MOD.

This is a one owner and I don't believe we have ever had the exhaust worked on. These studs look really good. I haven't crawled under the 02 to compare. But I'm getting pretty nervous about buggering the manifold studs. Southern its whole life.

 

[2001LC]

Those studs look good. But still I'd clean and P. oil. They almost always remain in the exhaust flange, as nuts comes off.

So a new Cat to Y pipe seal is also in order? Or just drop, clean up the downpipe and cat upper flanges, install new seal there, bolt back up and just use new bolts in the Y pipe attachment using the old seal. Stealership didn't have the seal so that is on order.

Thanks.

Yes! The gaskets (seals) at each end of cat, must be replace, if removed. Which they must be removed to clean up.

Get a bung or some other o2 trickery. NYS doesn't do smog testing. You drive a v8 with horrible gas mileage premium cats aint gonna do much for you. Stop letting the government run your pockets.

of all places, here in Texas I had a cop threaten me with 3x emissions violations tickets, which he said were like $2,500 each (one for no cats, one for illegal tune since I had no check engine light, and one for egr delete, which was stupid b/c my car was a '98 and the specific system he referred to was deleted on the '99-01 models with an updated factory ECM, which was what my replaced engine was out of)... medium length, but amusing, story about getting out of those tickets with a warning, but it's not always as simple as "just throw on a sim"....

didn't say delete them. Run the cheap hi flows on amazon with a bung and be done with it.

You're obviously too young to remember the air before Catalytic convertors. They make a Huge differences.
