Hey guys, a few months ago I got a 2.5" SS M.B catback installed. Ever since I've gotten frequent backfiring. Is that normal? If it isn't, I've just found this massive hole..

I'm definitely gonna get that hole fixed up under warranty on Tuesday but would that be the source of the car backfiring? Or should I be looking deeper. I've felt around and haven't felt any other leaks but I could've missed something

They cut the hanger and re-welded it like that. Yuk! Get them to cut that entire section off and redo it again.

radiant exhausts? yeah they do a rough job, the last time i was there they were fixing my car, i was watching them like a hawk, i asked the guy who fixed it "so how do i know if its not leaking again or not?" he goes "just block the exhaust and look for it"

i replied looking right into his eyes, "ok we'll do that then, if there are still leaks, i'm coming back here and ur going to do the whole thing again... see ya later mate"

LAWL. lucky for them they did it properly. welds arent the best but at least the hole isnt there anymore. doesnt have to be a very clean weld on the outside but as long as it doesnt protrude inside blocking flow ur right. how did i know? i stuck a plumbers camera inside the exhaust to take a look at the whole piping. ;)

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      Android auto

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.
