A dealership installed exhaust had the bolts fall out? RED FLAG.

You'll have to excuse my lack of knowledge but it was at the beginning of the exhaust where it connects basically where the firewall is. So I was getting straight engine noise right under my feet. Its hard to describe but it was so loud it was mind melting.

So they tightened it all up and it sounds SOOO much better! Not too loud just a nice deep tone coming from the back! I love this car! Only another 500 till she's broken in.

I really appreciate all your feedback on this one!

I'm assuming you have a standard, 3000 RPM for me is 91 MPH in 6th. What is it on the standard?

Or if the bolts were there they were never torqued and fell off. That explains why it was loud immediately after install, not gradually as the bolts "loosened."

Geez man... I parked my car with two wheels on a curb, and literally dragged myself under the car in a horrifically claustrophobic experience to install my J2, and even then, the midpipe bolts didn't even get loose till about 250 miles :P (at which point I bought new hardware and put it on a lift like I should've done in the first place... *facepalm)

Is it possible for a dealer to miss a leaking exhaust in a multi point inspection?

I recently got a used one and sometimes the drone is super loud, frustrated me going anywhere above 70 on the highway, specifically when coasting (foot off the gas so car is pushing the engine).

I had it inspected by a toyota dealer and they signed off on it, but is an exhaust leak hard to notice?

Edit: I plan on going to a meet asap to hear other peoples exhausts so that i have a baseline for loud/quiet/drony/raspy but Im kind of impatient as this is the one thing bothering me about the car so far

bibbity boppity give me the zoppity
