I'm the original owner of a 1988 pickup, 22R, short bed, manual trans, around 173K miles. After 18 years, the original exhaust is starting to look a bit rusty, especially since I live near the ocean. I called Carson Toyota for an approximate quote, and they said about $2,500 plus installation for everything from the exhaust manifold back to the end of the tailpipe. This seems awfully expen$ive.
Any recommendations for replacing an original '88 exhaust in the LA / Ventura area? What product - OEM or aftermarket - and installer? I plan to keep this truck until it completely dies, which I don't see happening any time soon.
