Front pipe for exhaust, any stainless options?

[Mendoncyclesmith]

So I did a MagnaFlow stainless Overland exhaust a year or two ago.

Just noticed my exhaust sounding a bit farty towards the front yesterday, quick inspection found a leak coming out of the weld region on the bung for the O@ sensor on the front pipe, (the one just ahead of the cat).

Called Magnaflow, no stainless options, they said call Summit Racing. No dice there either.

I'm fine with non stainless, if that's all I can do, but figured I'd ask here first.

last year I bought an OEM Stainless one with the CAT included for the same reason(cracked weld on O2 bung), I also bought a TACOMA version down pipe I looked up that had a flange before the CAT, the O2 bung and the dual pipe flange style, I plan to used on my beater plow truck when needed.

Hey thanks!

So there is such a beast, for sale somewhere?

All I've run across, say discontinued part, and none were stainless.

I just went these exhausts. However, I have not did the front pipes crossover or cat ones. They are Chinese stainless alloy..Will outlast walker exhausts and they do make a 1 cat federal pipe. However, this is not grade of stainless that does not rust. Will slowly rot away. I don't know of anyone making a high grade stainless alloy except Toyota. When my cat flange goes crappy. I just cut them off and replace them with either steel flanges or I have a guy make me stainless steel flanges as well.

Wow that sucks, never had a aftermarket CAT last more than 5 years on a Toyota and not throw a code or puke its guts out.., glad I grabbed the Taco Spare downpipe.

I was wondering how long the After Market ones lasted... :-( I know 5 to 8 is the limit of the exhaust and muffler the Northern Stainless, but the price is what makes it reasonable replacement as Walker doesn't last in the rust belt that long. Not sure about the other options..
