My girls 2009 Yaris Hatchback 5-speed 1.5L has a 1/4 inch exhaust leak coming from the passenger rear where the hanger is. If that can not be welded, you need to get the complete exhaust from engine back for around $1200 from the dealer which is nuts.
Any input would be great :thumbsup:

Replacement pipes from the resonator back to muffler flange are available. Replacing that piece plus labour should be less than $200.

I currently am using this piece. American pricing is a hell of a lot less.

How is that possible with the cat

Pipe is cut where I've drawn the line. New piece replaces the length to the right of line. Resonator is immediately to the left.

And that is a direct connect to the rear muffler? Also, I'm in NY and that replacement pipe is from Canada, can't find it here in the states

Yes, it's direct connect to muffler. I know it's Canadian, but American sources can be found.

May you send me the link. I put the part # in, but did not come up via upswautoparts
Many thanks also for helping me :w00t:

That would be good if you need a resonator as well. My first leak was holes developing at the resonator hanger. Might want to take look there. If it's solid, then you just need this

Thank you again. Just wonder if the quality of the metal they sell is bad, due to their prices being so low

Metal on aftermarket is not as good as OEM, but good for several more years of running. Just have the union between old and new clamped, not welded. Cheap enough that if it fails, replace again. Also, a welded joint on old pipe almost certainly guarantees that your next point of failure will be that weld.

I'm taking her Yaris in on Friday and will post back to you that afternoon. Hopefully the tiny crack can be welded, if not, then I will get that pipe

Just a word to the wise... When you replace the muffler, and you will soon, get an OEM muffler. I made the mistake of saving a buck with an aftermarket muffler . Between the edge of it unavoidably rubbing and bouncing against the underside of the car making an annoying noise coupled with that it sounded like hollow tin can, i tore it off and threw it in the steel scrap dumpster at work after one week. But hey, you might like that...I didn't.

I'm OE 99% of the time. Yes, I would get OE muffler along with OE nuts/bolts/gaskets too

If there are other cracks in the system, I would think about this Magnaflow system for her along with new OE muffler. I can get it for around $700 shipped. Only issue I see, will this still pass NYS computer inspection without being CARB compliant?

Just to double check, will this Magnaflow system pass NYS computer inspection without being CARB compliant? Don't want to go through all the expense and trouble then have it hooked up to the NYS inspection computer and have an issue

I may have jumped the gun on that by saying yes. Did a bit of reading and noticed NY requires CARB compliance. I don't know how anal your inspection sites are and if they'd bother looking for the stamp on the cat.
Your system is probably good. My 2006 with 411,000 rust belt kms on her is still original forward of the resonator.

They won't look at the stamp, so the computer test they run will not be able to detect non-carb compliant right? Thank you

I wish they had 304 SS instead of 409 SS. My other vehicles are T-304. I could only find 409 SS for the Yaris. Living in the NE with all the salt, I wonder how long that 409 system would last???? :eek:

Have all my items now. Went with all Toyota OE hardware (hangers, springs, bolts, gaskets) along with Toyota OE muffler. All this paired with the Magnaflow 52581 system. I'm keeping the original cat (only 65K miles) and I'll set that in my garage. Was thinking of selling it, but doubt I would get much so it's best just to keep

I installed the new system yesterday. Super nice Mag system along with OE muffler and hardware. Any idea what the old cat is worth for scrap?
