|
|
Hi
Can anyone point me in the direction of replacement exhaust parts for the petrol V6? Other than Toyota own parts?
Colorado 3.4 V6 1998
Or someone who can fabricate based on the original specs.
Looking to replace after CAT to read.
Thanks _________________ '98 Colorado |

Just done this on mine.
Get hold of a diesel mid section (http://www.milneroffroad.com/toyota-uk/coloradoprado/kdj95-3-0td-82000-92002-lwb-ukimport/kdj95-exhaust-1/kdj95-exhaust-pipe-box-centre-1)
Remove the flange at the catalytic convertor end of the old pipe - leave about 3" or so of the old pipe as we need this to mount the new one to.
Offer up the new one and cut to length - about 10" or so from memory.
Get a piece of 2.5" exhaust tubing about 4" long and slot it both ends. Slide over the end of the new pipe and the remaining stub of the old one and clamp up.
The rear box bolts up as per normal (use a diesel one if required for this too).
The whole lot will cost about £100 or so and when done will sound a little louder than the original but not too much so.
Your only other option is Mr T or getting a system fabricated. I priced them both up and it was £500 or more so this is definitely the cheaper option. |

So, the diesel exhaust fits perfectly in size, mounting points and pipe position? No pipe bending is required either in the front or in the back?
Also, would anybody know how long the Milner ones last? |

Fitted cat back on mine and it didnt require bending - just use the existing flange and about 6 inches of the original pipe. behind the flange. You cannot use the diesel flange as its too big.
As also mentioned the diesel pipe needs 10" or so removed (measure twice, cut once!) as its too long.
I then used a 2 3/8" sleeve joint to join the ends.

Forgot to mention - its a bit louder than a standard one but not unpleasantly so. Certainly not for the difference in price! |

Well I also fitted a diesel mid-section I got from Milners. It's a perfect fit. Nothing but the front flange has to be modified. Seems to work fine so far. I still have to see how it affects my mpg, though. |

Forgot to mention that my truck is LHD. The RHD Milner exhaust fits on that. |
