Hi All,

I've put an exhaust on me car last month and.... its making a rattle noise at times when im stopping or when im driving...

I think it maybe that one of the middle stock mufflers was replaced by a hot dog pipe... I dont want to go back to that mechanic cuz he won't do anything about it.

He'll just tel me that the exhaust will shake alot (which is true)..... but it shouldnt make the noise. It'ts like its hitting something... :help:

So do you thkn I should see another mechanic for their advice?

If it was me I would take it straight back to the Mechanic and get it fixed.

I had the same problem with my Yaris but I couldn't be bothered to get it fixed. Only two months later I decided to take it back and they fixed it for free!!!

Wouldn't take that sh!t from the mechanic seeing as though as you didn't get what you paid for.

Yeah if I were you I'd go back and make them fix it. Technically they're liable for anything that goes wrong with the part that they installed. So if they aren't willing to look at it then I believe they're in the worng.

Carline mufflers in Canningvale.

yeh ok I'll complain again. its just annoying... Lucky Jasseee bet you don't have this problem :P

Jaassee did they put a "hot dog" to replace the middel muffler on yours?

Nope. They took the cat converter and muffler out. It's a straight through piping all the way to the back finishing off with a Magnaflow Race Series Cannon.

yeh the exhaust sounds awsome! hes using a silencer tho but with out it is very loud.. :D

i think the noise is the pipe hiting against the heatshield, i know a few guys had the same prob with the zze12* models maybe stiffen up the mounts a bit if you dont want to go back there??

Hope you don't get pulled over ofr a road side inspection or emissions test cause you'll get the book thrown at you big time. your bank balance had better be very impressive cause the fine if huge.

Guys if enough interest is had from ZRE152 owners then CES may develop a cat back system for them same as they did for ZZE 122'3 models. So if you are interested then say so!!!

hmmm i think Angelo is right.. So you think they should just tighten it? but anyways when I get the time I'm going to go back.

Yeh Jaasse's sounds pretty good... Mine's the more roaring high pitch sound not too loud but noticeable.

Yes my wallet is significantly big enough I believe.

As for CSE developing a cat back, I'd be interested. Yet again I'd wanna find out the gains I'd get from it before registering a firm interest.

Jase

From the rear of the car shake the exhaust left to right and see if it makes contact with any of the heat shields or anything else.

Also, if the Cat was actually removed, I would have it replaced immediately... you're looking at a $20k fine if you get busted without one, that's alot even for Packer.

If I were you Jase I'd be making damn sure you have a catalytic converter on that thing... As big as your wallet may be, surely you would get more fun from throwing your 20K in a bin and setting fire to it rather than having the Australian Government take it as revenue.

Further, there is little to no gain to be had from removing the catlytic converter. These days, every 'cat is "hi-flow" and non-restrictive from factory anyway.

naw dont worry dude your thinking that the middle muffler is the cat converter.. haha I had the same thought when he took mine out ROFL..

but then he pointed to the cat converter which is close to the engine bay and said that he's not allowed to take that..

So dont worry i think ur just mistaken dude :P YOur mechanic should also know not to do anything illegal lol

SOooooo Chillax

      gas smell when driving hard/takes long to start

      Update: issue came back but worse with rough idling / running a year or so ago. Mechanic diagnosed it as an air filter out of place and reset the codes - issue solved for good. Car is now at 380k and running stronger than ever !😊

      2012 Hilux with snorkel stopped after getting stuck in water

      Hi guys, my sons 2012 Hilux (diesel) engine stopped when he got stuck in a deep mudhole last night. I had a quick look after driving for about 130km with a car trailer to get his car and it has been immersed in muddy water over the top of the battery. The water level on the inside of the car apparently reached top of seat height before they managed to snatch it out of the water. The car has a snorkel, however, the engine stopped whilst the hilux was still immersed in the water up to its bonnet. What would have caused the engine to stop? Typically what would one expect to need to clean out, replace etc in order to sort this?

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Definitely can't get the pump out through the hole in the floor. The top of the pump has a larger diameter than the hole. 2nd pump has arrived from the wrecker. I will be removing the tank and installing it today.

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Jeez that's unfortunate. Here's hoping the next one makes it to the right place. I've spent a long time looking, but I haven't seen any videos or images where that mechanism has come out through the inspection hole - I really hope I've just been looking in the wrong place! I've got my fingers crossed for you Geoff!!

      MWR Oil Pump

      Thanks for your response, I’m just hoping and praying that the oil pump will withstand the over-revving which is why I purchased the product. Also, I know very well about the flaws of the 2ZZ in regards to the oil pump and oil sump.

      How easy is it to replace power steering pump?

      MWR Oil Pump

      MWR are a reasonably respected name in the aftermarket 2ZZ business, they're not the cheapest (especially with shipping) but the products are usually solid. In this case though it is only the oil pump gear itself which is upgraded (as that was the issue with the stock ones), the housing is new/refurbed OEM Toyota/Aisin. FYI 4340 is the grade used, it's a high-tensile chrome-moly steel. I believe the stock ones are sintered (ie powdered steel pressed in to shape at high pressure/temperature), which contributes to their propensity to shattering (although I think it is much rarer than people are lead to believe, and usually as a result of over-revving via mis-shifting)

      Engine starts but won’t rev, only idles. 2002 Hilux 4d4

      I left my fridge on in car for five days and it completely ran the battery flat. I have replaced with new battery and engine starts but only idols cannot be revved at all. Any ideas?
