For a '90 4Rnr 22RE I bought a BOSAL exhaust (CAT back) from Olympus/Olympic
auto parts. It has a lifetime warranty from them. I'm on the 3rd FREE
replacement one (seems ever 4 years). This is running on unpaved country
WV roads. It costs me $5 for new gasket and some time. Original system
(its one piece so no leaks and easy to install) was about $150. On my yota
pickup I installed a Waqlker system - only the muffler is warranteed for
life. The OEM yota cat back should be under $250 and is lifetime warranteed
if installed by Toyota. Unless the Cat is bad or the header pipe cracked I
would not bother to replace them.
