Need a new muffler!

[atalarico]

The fluid is just water condensation mixing up with a little bit of black soot. Perfectly normal catalytic converter function, it converts Carbon Monoxide, hydrocarbons and other nasty gases into harmless water vapor. All exhausts with a cat will do that.

I did not notice any MPG gains with switching my muffler (I had on previous toyotas) so there's no gains to be had. Only switch if you need to or want a more "sporty" sound to it.

Good to know! It just seemed like it's been more condensation in the past couple years than before, but I dunno. Science!

Nice.. How much did this kit run you?

It was a little over $225 after taxes and shipping from Rock Auto. I spent 18 hours in my 4Runner yesterday driving from Texas to North Carolina and it was great not having an annoying muffler. The unexpected mileage boost must have been from the old muffler collapsing and causing a blockage in the exhaust system.

You should be good as long as it's the one that "enhances performance".

Another one I've seen is the 11255 which is also 18 long but it's an actual muffler not just a tip. I don't understand the differences. As long as the end is bigger I'm assuming it's an increase. I plan to do the deck plate with it
