Hi all.
I have spoken to a few exhaust places about getting a fresh system fitted to my 80. They have all suggested that fitting an aftermarket standard system is not ideal due to not being able to get a good/lasting seal on the exhaust manifolds. I'm not sure if that is due to the manufacturing of the aftermarket front twin pipes, or if its due to the manifolds warping or something happening to the mating surface on the manifolds where the new pipes fit onto the manifold.
I'm not really interested in fitting extractors or a "performance" exhaust system, and I don't want a loud horrible sounding exhaust. It still has a genuine Toyota system fitted to it now but its due for replacement. I have been searching for a genuine Toyota system and it seems that they are available. I'm trying to get hold of the front pipe, but I can only find one for 1/1995 onwards, not 1994 which mine is. The part numbers I have found are,
17410-66010 for 8/92 to 1/95
17410-61261 for 1/95 to 1/99
My 80 is 10/94 so wondering if that falls into the 1/95 item? or are they compatible?
I'm in Australia so things might be a bit different for you guys over there but some info on part numbers would be a great help.
Thanks
Eric
