In this video we tackle a Tacoma exhaust manifold repair. I go through the issues I encountered and various tips to make it a bit easier.

Would have been better to show how you got it off. That's why everyone is here.

Thanks for sharing this process. I have a very similar situation (but not as rusted) and this gives me confidence to do the repair myself.

I think my Tacoma may have a manifold leak as well, I haven’t tried soapy water, but when I accelerate there is tick/sputtering sound. How many miles on your truck? Thanks!

[@ludwigseeley6359]

Around 280 000km !

[@tiiiro9198]

@@ludwigseeley6359 nice I have about 244 000km on mine

[@ludwigseeley6359]

@@tiiiro9198 very possible you have a leak depending on the salt in your area

How is this repair holding up? Looking to do the same on an ‘11 taco with 290000 on the odo. Hardware looks rough 😂

[@ianwheat1577]

That sealer will shit up cat and o2 sensor should of made own plate to weld on to manifold

[@ludwigseeley6359]

How would it do that? once it's dry it's not going anywhere.
