tailpipe fell off this morning. tried to inspect and see if I could somehow keep it up there. broke at the flange. couldn't remove it, exhaust going straight up and around wiring. got underneath and started inspecting. after about 2 minutes of a constant shower of rust flakes falling on my face I swore a few times , drove it to toyota and left it there. original exhuast, 14 years old, 180k miles, acceptable life span
