Hole in rear silencer what to replace?

[jackie-0]

Hi all,

Failed my MOT yesterday due to the rear silencer having a hole in it.

Spoke to Toyota MD here in Sweden who offered me a kit for 900 euro to fit.

I searched euro4x4 who offer the same kit, OEM standard for a little less.

My question is; does anyone know how much of the exhaust that needs to be replaced in order to fit a new silencer (fixing the old one is not an option)?


Many thanks in advance!

Remove it , it serves no purpose . Unless rules don't allow you to in Sweden ?

If thats the case just search for a suitable diameter muffler

I've had a small hole in my rear silencer (sounds dodgy) for a few years now, but I plugged it with J-B Weld Putty reinforced with a little stainless mesh, and a spray over with galvafroid spray. It's held for longer thatn I ever thought, and it has not been picked up on two subsequesnt MOT's so far. I suppose it depends how big the hole is on yours?

@Shayne, thanks, that may be possible! But same questions then remains, do I then need to cut it out and weld a muffler in place?

@Bert, my indy tried something similar but it only lasted about 6 months and so here we are.....

The exhaust is just a pipe and the mufflers are just bigger so they can pack some cotton wool in there to soak up sound waves and it doesn't need two .

You may find something closer if you search for VZJ95 exhaust assuming yours is a 5 door or VZJ90 if 3 door

While my V6 was in other hands the pipe out of the back of the silencer became detached through corrosion. I sleeved it and migged it but it was only a temporary fix. After hours of searching on the internet a middle section couldn't be found anywhere. The only option was a stainless custom one made at Powerflow at Doncaster ( cat back all the way) for the princely sum of £540.
Jackie-0 this maybe the better option as it will outlast the truck.

Measure the pipe and the available space - head over to Biltema and get the cheapest available muffler that will fit, and a piece of pipe with clamps.
