Newbie with an exhaust leak on his '06 Yaris

[Kazimodo]

good to see you got the bolts off without breaking them
just by heating them , did you use a welding torch or
just a small propane bottle ??
.
you must feel like you have a brand new car now
fixing an exhaust problem always makes a big difference .

We used (I watch my father in law do that part lol) a Oxygen + Acetylene torch. It turned red in 3 second. It was a little scary cause there's the firewall right there as well as some cabling for the O2 sensor and what not right near that flange.

Indeed! So quite now!

Less than 60 bucks for the gasket, 2 bolts and 1 spring (springs are 7$ each) for Toyota Gatineau.
