purchased a 2008 toyota Rav 4 4cyl. car currently has 45000 miles. started about 8 months ago noticing muffler noise. I have been monitoring since then. Well took car to a muffler house to get a quote to replace muffler. WOW! was I suprised...
as well as the muffler house. they were shocked that a car that new with a stainless muffler would need replaced so early. they proceeded to look for a replacement muffler thru there supplier, with no luck. They also mentioned that they could not just replace the muffler but the whole assembley and converter.
I guess that was poor engenering to on Toyota's part. This was my 4th toyota but I will now reconsider other options because I expected more from toyota.
