FYI - Torque on the O2 sensors is 33 ft-lb. Make sure to reinstall with anti-seize! It can also help to break the torque on these while the exhaust is still hot (metal is expanded).
good video, but unfortunately i wanted info on the removal of the first section,(to engine), very small room to use a saws all, or grinder, i have no clue of what to do...
Pro tip... If those exhaust flange bolts won't come out, cut them off with a Cutoff wheel on an angle grinder or a hand dremel while being careful not to chop up the flange itself. I usually cut the nuts in half and then punch out the bolts.
I love your video it’s awesome watching how too save thousands of dollars. I just got my catalytic converters stolen luckily he cut only one out of four my sister cough him cutting something under my Toyota Tacoma and he drive away living the sizzle blades under the truck he was about to replace for a new blade but the damage was done now I’m trying to see if I can take it a part and replace it for a new one thanks for your videos help a lot of people
I am replacing the exhaust. How tight should the Exhaust Bolt and Spring be? I was thinking of making it tight and then backing it off around one or two turns.
Where can I get the replacement seals/gaskets for when putting it back together? Thanks and I know I'm commenting on every video related to the clutch repair, I just want to make sure I have everything ready before I start.
What kind of exhaust gaskets did you use are they all the same for all three the ones I was looking at OEM Toyota were $37.00 apiece? And what bolts size did you use for manifold to rear cats? I’m worried about breaking studs?
All three were not the same. I don't know the specific model that you have but TacomaWorld has the diagrams for the exhaust. For nut sizes, I would recommend buying a thread gauge @ 3:51 you'll be able to get the proper thread types (amazon.kflo-krib.com) in terms of breaking studs, it will happen with exhaust work in wet and damp environments. Use the thread gauge to buy Stainless steel bolts (@ 4:41)
Hey buddy great video and I'm a new subscriber to your channel because of it. I ran a diagnostic and I need to replace the cat on a 05 Tacoma off-road. I'm assuming the same product that you used here would be a suitable replacement. Could you share that product name and brand? Thanks so much for your work. It's great
There are 4 Cats on the Tacoma. Are you asking about these 2 Cats in the video or the 2 Cats upstream next to the headers? Plus there's the left and right sides. Regardless, I would recommend going to rockauto.com to get the proper cats - best of luck!
@@KFloTacoma That is very good to know. I'm getting a P0430 code. Do you recommend just replacing all four? A Toyota tech recommending trying to clean the old ones first. Thanks a million
P0430 is for the O2 sensor on the Cat. P0430 Bank 2 is driver's side: Bank 2 is side of engine w/#2 cylinder, which is driver's side. I would recommend change out the 02 sensor first because that's a much easier job that doesn't require removal of any exhaust parts. If the problem persists then you can change the cat - which is definitely much more labor intensive
@@gabericks I'm dealing with the same thing and plan on just cleaning the cats and replacing the O2 sensors before spending all that money on new cats. I'm just planning on soaking them in a tote full of heavy detergent.
Exhaust parts are high corrosion and are very tough to remove when corrosion welded. Antiseize makes it easy for future replacements by helping prevent seizing and galling
My gasket went where the straight pipe connects to the converter. Is this a known common problem for Tacoma's? You're video gives me an idea what to do.
The exhaust system is a high corrosion area due to temperature and location, plus if you live in the rust belt, the gaskets will definitely degrade fairly quickly. I'm not sure if it's a common problem with Tacomas, because it has happened on my previous non-toyota cars.
@@KFloTacoma Thank you for answering. I was able to fix the exhaust leak. I do live in NY, They overuse salt anytime it snows. Hopefully nothing else will happen for a bit.
I had a CEL that required me to replace the driver side 02 sensor. as for the other question, the 02 sensor has a hex body, a closed end wrench worked just as fine - saved me the money as well as time with having to go out to rent them.
Hey Pare, what's going on with your truck? Unfortunately, my youtube business is currently just online sales. I can send you information and instructions though

Tu I’m a new subscriber appreciation to you sir.
Thanks and welcome!

take off tire and pull the rubber flap behind it off you can reach the manifold from there

Great Video Brother, thank you
Awesome! thanks for watching and supporting the channel!

Send me an email at kflo.krib@gmail.com with your request. I'll email you the diagram w/ part numbers
It would have been nice to know the reason for this video, ie gasket replacement or???
This is part of the clutch replacement series for the manual transmission
You ROCK MAN !
Great video!
Great video...like always #1
Did you presoak the nuts and bolts..
Wished you had purchased an FJ instead..lol
Lol well there's some common type of work so you can definitely still take advantage of my information
Also, yes I did use PB blaster beforehand too

The 2 in the front 90080-43036 the one in the rear:90917-A6005 and yeah about $80 for 3 gaskets😮
What is the undercoat you have on your chassis? Is it factory or aftermarket?
I would recommend watching my latest video "Better than POR15" I go over the details of my current undercoating and better alternatices
Great video!!
Thanks man! Please share my vids with your tacoma friends!
Will do brother! @@KFloTacoma

Did your truck not come with heat shields on the cats? My truck has heat shields on it's cats.
It did, but the bolts/mounting points rusted away. The northeast salt in the winter is harsh.
@@KFloTacoma I see. I thought maybe your cats had been replaced at some point.
Do you have to use anti seize and what’s the benefit of using it
Exhaust parts are high corrosion and are very tough to remove when corrosion welded. Antiseize makes it easy for future replacements by helping prevent seizing and galling
So it’s better to use anti seize, but if it’s not used it won’t affect the performance.
What year is your tacoma?
2009 Tacoma DC Manual TRD Sport
My gasket went where the straight pipe connects to the converter. Is this a known common problem for Tacoma's? You're video gives me an idea what to do.

Sweet!
Why did you need to remove O 2 sensors and isn’t there a special tool?
I had a CEL that required me to replace the driver side 02 sensor. as for the other question, the 02 sensor has a hex body, a closed end wrench worked just as fine - saved me the money as well as time with having to go out to rent them.
Thanks
what year was that taco?
2009
can i put a TRD exhaust on a 4 cylinder Tacoma after the catalytic converter ?
i just did a quick search and the answer is it doesn't fit
How do I remove both my cats in my 03 Tacoma
Go to Houston
Go see a movie
2 hours later
No Cats
Yoowwwww man do you still do cars? Tulungan mo sana ako magrepair ng tacoma ko i will drive to your place if ayos lang
Bili ako ng supplies if ayos lang ser
