- This particular repair is probably one of the Worst repair jobs on the best Toyota V8 the UZ series engine especially on trucks.
The common issue is an exhaust manifold crack that develops from small cracks due to the strange design on these exhaust manifolds.
And what makes it worse is the previous exhaust repairs on this particular sequoia that we're working on making the exhaust one piece and making this already tough job even harder.

As a consumer ... I had to take a chill pill just realizing what you have to go through. God Bless You.
The detailed explanation of design failures like this is invaluable to us Toyota owners and loyal Toyota fans. Thank you for doing this, it is very much appreciated.
I solved this exact problem with my 2004 V8 4Runner. The only way to permanently deal with this is to have Doug Thorley stainless headers installed. The original manifold is too thin. I paid 3k to have mine replaced and it cracked again in months. Then I went to a better exhaust guy and he installed the Thorley headers. He cut the cat converters off the original one-piece manifold/cat converter part, and mated them to the new headers with a ratchet coil system. No more broken headers. Truck sounds better, too. When the cats go bad I just need to have the manifold part cut off the new cats and they’ll mate to my headers with no need to disassemble anything under the truck. Problem solved. Been working great for two years.
That 1.25 labor rate must be based on the engine on a stand and not installed in anything
AMD, your channel has been an inspiration for myself on car care and has brought enthusiasm back into my life for vehicles. I am starting as an apprentice for Toyota tomorrow and aspire to be the best technician I can be. Both honest, hard working and fearless to take on tasks my way. Cheers my friend
Thanks for sharing. I had a leaking driver's side manifold on my 00 Landcruiser with 2UZ at 150k miles. Purchased all the OEM parts for both sides and removed 4 bolts from the driver's side using all sorts of universals and swivels. Decided to put the 4 bolts back and take it to Toyota dealer to complete the job due to time restraints. They did the job, and the steering wheel came back crooked as the steering shaft was removed and probably installed one notch off. I tackled the passenger side myself about 10k miles later in my garage without a lift as that side started leaking. Not an easy job and would not want to do it again. Other than that, this engine is extremely reliable. I have 320k on it now.
Good advice for life in general: Tackle the tough stuff first.
my sequoia has had this tick for probably 50k miles. trying really hard to not replace it due to the expense. until it fails inspection, gonna let it ride.
As a customer, muffler shops must be told to save flanges - most don't want to spend the time wrenching, and will regularly just reach for the welder after a little sawzall action. It's up to you, and make the demand up front - bring extra gaskets or donuts with you if you like: the part is less than their labor running down parts from wherever [plus their lost lift time for another job].
Had my whole exhaust system replaced on my 08 4Runner and it was like $7K and took them 2 weeks 😬
I like how this video shows the problems mechanics face that customers dont know about
After watching pretty much every one of your videos, I can say with absolute certainty that I LOVE being a mechanic in the South. Rust friggin sucks!!!!
My 2007 Sequoia 4WD has 250K+ on it now, and thankfully hasn't had this issue yet...appreciate the informative video! 🙌
Thanks for these great videos! Hoping for another update on the 600,000 mile Lexus soon!
21 years ago I had the leaking factory manifolds on my 2002 Tundra 4.7L replaced with JBA short tube headers, the JBAs are bolt on replacements that connect to the factory exhaust pipes. I have put 160,000 miles on them, and I enjoy the slight boost in horse power and torque.
I had this done on my '02 Sequoia a few months ago. I know that pre-soaking crusty old nuts is key for them cooperating, so I bribed my mechanic with a package of Gatorade and a box of cookies.
I am the original owner of a 2004 4Runner with a 4.7 V-8. It has 185 K miles and no problems whatsoever. It still drives great, with no rattles. It has the original starter, alternator-everything. All I have ever done is replace the timing belt (twice) tires and brakes. Of course, I have maintained it perfectly and have always used full synthetic oil. No rust as I live in Western Oregon. Perfect rig, I will keep it until I die!
I remember the first Gen IS F had this manifold problem.
By the amount of cars you have in your shop, it really looks like business has been good! Congratulations, you deserve it. I am a 72 yr.old female who has always enjoyed cars. My husband and I have been Toyota owners for many years. I find your videos interesting. Thank you for stretching my mind😊
I just replaced my exhaust manifold on my boat that is in salt water. I feel your pain. Got it done. 👍👍
