Alternative Exhaust System For Avensis 57 T180?

[lungo]

hi all,

was wondering if there is a cheaper alternative exhaust than Toyota?

I have aloud noise coming from under the front side and was quoted 1k depending on what needs replacing. manifold or dpf!!!

Anyone else had this problem before on a 57 reg t180?

Have you checked the airbox inlet pipe? It is a known source of noise and sounds a lot like a blowing exhaust. Basically there is a foam rubber seal/washer which fails and the inlet pipe rattles about making a horrible noise. If you search this forum for airbox noise you should find a bunch of ideas on how to fix it from a simple self tapping screw to silicon sealant.

I would be surprised if your exhaust had failed - they seem to last for ages.
