      Got rid of the Acadia

      RAV4 now has 84k but needs breaks and maybe a exhaust bolt. Other than that it is great

        That’s a shame but should I check the rest of the inside of the piping or assume that it’s rusty inside there too? Why can’t all exhausts be stainless steel?? I’m glad I didn’t buy it its sad Toyota let’s this happen

          Sounds like a good idea but the main question is why is the tailpipe rusting inside??

              I believe that is correct it may take a Miracle to repair the radiator and hood beam the rest of the car is damage free tho

                Thanks,

                The main issue with the cat is that it is welded to the midpipe that I just replaced about 6 months ago so idk about cutting it off it may be better to just buy a entire exhaust from the motor to the tail

                I do want a bigger tail pipe top its 2.5 now I want 3 or 4 inches outlet

                What’s the cheapest high flow cat or headers?

                  well we sold the van about a year ago and ive seen it a few times on the road I do miss it tho.

                  the trans has been replaced since it was slipping and the throttle sensor was bad

                  maybe I can buy it back or see if I can find a similar van with lower miles

                            thanks ill see when I can get time to jack the car up. I will try and order a new intake box asap I hope it don’t cost too much. if I need assistance having the new intake box installed ill probably have to take it to my uncle’s shop or my nearest Toyota but I don’t fully trust Toyota with some parts.

                                convex mirrors where would I find those?

                                also my ac stopped working yesterday and Im thinking of getting rid of the compressor since its rusted out I was wondering if I did that would I lose my heating system? I like my heat cause it makes my exhaust louder. im also thinking seat covers would be nice or?
