[@Bootstrappin]

A few parts to help you (and me! I get a little commission) out, but be sure to check fit: Walker Muffler: amzn.to/3fjFSJW Exhaust Gasket: amzn.to/3fhBKtQ Exhaust Bolt and Spring Kit: amzn.to/3FvuXrg

Thanks for the video! My muffler deleted itself last night, had to drive home with it dragging. Picked up the muffler and hardware at local O'Reillys for $140. Slid under the car with a sawzall, 14mm and a screwdriver. Had the job done in an hour. Thanks again:)

[@Bootstrappin]

Excellent, that's a smooth operation!

[@lewisbresee8379]

Replaced the muffler on my 2007 Yaris following this video. Thank you. No problem whatsoever....and the car still thinks it has 800 hp.

[@Bootstrappin]

If the car believes it, then it's true! Enjoy your Ferrari killer!

[@MrChicken420]

gotta love the Fer'yari

[@ThePhrygianFingers]

I found your content on Reddit during one of your home remodeling videos. Seriously, keep it up. Love the content and style. See you at 1M subs!

[@Bootstrappin]

That's very kind of you, thank you! 1M or not, having lots of fun. :)

[@possiblemarten]

I've been a follower since one of your old subaru bozo does it videos, I still think this is one of the most enjoyable channels on youtube. You've got authenticity and a good personality. I'd have looked at those bolts and gone right to the grinder or the oxy acetylene torch though hahah! I definitely know your pain.

[@Bootstrappin]

Thank you for your loyalty and feedback, it is much appreciated! I gotta get me one of those. Bolts are 50 cents, but two hours of my time definitely isn't...

[@SerbanCMusca-ut8ny]

Hey man, nice video. I like what you're doing. You deserve more subscribers. Keep up the good work and please do ramble as much you seem fit on any topic ;)

[@Bootstrappin]

I appreciate that, thank you!

[@timomeh]

i absolutely SMASHED THAT LIKE BUTTON. Great moves. Keep it up. Proud of ya.

[@Bootstrappin]

Haha thank you, smoldering crater on where that like button used to be

[@Xtypiemai]

i thought someone tried to steal my cats and accidentally cut my muffler, i was so confused when it just dropped down out of nowhere, made for some good laughs tho

[@devonnewest7990]

omg im sooo glad i found this wonderful video! They should all be this to the point and easy to follow. You gave me the inspiration to give this a shot myself! 👍

[@Bootstrappin]

Go for it! Worst that can happen is you gain 450hp!

[@skateguy50]

love the video, my 2010 yaris is up to around 180k miles with original muffler and has been adding horsepower the past 2 years. It finally failed inspection for emission, no codes but pretty sure the loud exhaust is causing the issue. Was considering doing this myself but just got 16" of snow and have no inside garage to work in so gonna do a rare thing and see what a shop quotes me before deciding. Also I have my heat shield in the back seat as it fell off the car a few years back and I picked it up off the road but never put it back on...

[@Bootstrappin]

Those inspectors are always looking to stiff you out of horsepower, like what the heck 😤

[@RintjeGaming]

i still have the original one on my Yaris 2009! but this is nice to know for the future! thanks!

[@siiiiiiiiiimo]

Did you grinder the exhaust?! That 'crack' was preeetty perfect

[@Bootstrappin]

Managed not to grind the exhaust somehow! Gotta be gentle and patient

[@deltanoodles]

@@Bootstrappin 3:05 ?

[@Bootstrappin]

@@deltanoodles oohhh I see what he meant. Yeah that was my attempt to saw it off, but there wasn't enough space so I had to stop before I screwed up and potentially damaged the gas tank.

[@Max.527]

Thanks for the info. Helped me out.

[@DeamondHunter]

Whaat can't this man dooo???? Lof your vid :D

[@Bootstrappin]

Apparently I can't find a muffler that lasts longer than a few years lol

[@jeffscomp]

This helped a lot. Unfortunately the walker muffler oreilly shipped me had the flange not welded all the way around so I had to take it off because it was leaking. I’m going to get it welded the rest of the way.

[@draydenrogers3214]

where did you buy the new parts(bolts, springs, and gasket)? Mine has a similar problem, but im thinking it might just be the gasket that needs replaced.

[@Theorica]

Quick shot of engine paint on the nuts with the spot welds might get you a few extra KM's before you begin adding more horsepower again.

[@Bootstrappin]

A really good suggestion tbh, maybe some hi-temp enamel or even JB weld

[@MattSeremet]

'07 n mine just wore out. Considering doing this myself but that separating the old muffler part seems it'd be frustrating without an angle grinder and impact as in my case.

[@Bootstrappin]

The impact you probably don't need, but definitely need some kind of saw, maybe a sawzall.

[@MattSeremet]

@@Bootstrappin Thanks for that. I just completed the muffler swap and it went very well thanks to this vid! I ended up using my reciprocating saw. A lil janky because it'd get caught sometimes but it worked out. My new muffler had some metal burs on the inside of the nut. Very fun to break those off after already fitting the thing into the rubber holders under the car. Anyway, BIG THANKS AGAIN!

[@Bootstrappin]

@@MattSeremet awesome, I'm happy it worked out!

[@alanszymczak6173]

I would use Anti-Seize compound on the new bolts.

[@Bootstrappin]

Actually that's a great point, would've been a lot less hassle.

[@Asto508]

Doesn't give you much if the whole thing falls apart. The screws were totally fine, but the other end was loose.

[@exticrefresh0198]

What is this part called at 1:07? I need a gasket for this particular part along the exhaust.

[@exticrefresh0198]

Nickson 13835 is the gasket I’m looking for but do you know how I can find the OEM Toyota one?

[@Bootstrappin]

@@exticrefresh0198 possibly 17451F2010 but the easiest way to do it is to go to parts.toyota.com/ put your car info, then navigate to exhaust. You'll then see a full diagram of the exhaust with labels.

[@Asto508]

I can confirm. Don't even try to remove the old bolts in any other way, you will fail miserably. Just cut them in half and be happy.

[@lilgiantsfan72]

Stupid question, but why does an exhaust leak add HP?

[@Bootstrappin]

I was being sarcastic. Though, depending on the engine, a more free flowing exhaust can in fact add power because the engine doesn't need to overcome as much resistance in pushing the exhaust out through the pipe.

[@mikerusby]

man, I am in 2 minds over whether to try it myself or just pay a bit more at the garage :/

[@Bootstrappin]

I feel you. If I was in your shoes, I'd get a quote from a local shop, and compare that to the roughly 2-6 hours this job might take to DIY + cost of parts, and potential extra tools needed. Chances are, the shop is probably going to be more cost effective. But if you're shooting for the feeling of accomplishment, then that's priceless.

[@mikerusby]

​@@Bootstrappin exactly, I think the baffles are loose inside, so it makes a rattling noise when idling, but drives fine It's just a really annoying cowbell sound might just leave it for now, but I 'really' want to tear it down myself :/ rush of blood to the head

[@Isaiah-ft5nx]

Missed opportunity to show off the muffler delete sound of the 800 HP Yaris after you got it fully off. 😞

[@Bootstrappin]

Dang, you right. Maybe the new owner can accommodate the next time, these never seem to last lol.

[@bachconneshon7809]

I have the 2019 sedan version and I'm just going to put a cherry bomb on it

[@mrpartridge8765]

I'm just gonna leave my leak alone. mine is leaking up front before the cat. the extra hp on the highway is worth it.

[@Bootstrappin]

Enjoy your Lambo destroyer! Just make sure no exhaust/smell is making it to the cab, monoxide and all that.

[@mrpartridge8765]

@@Bootstrappin ive had the leak for months. I watched your video on how to change it and Im just gonna leave it alone till i can get the tools to do it. The sound has grown on me anyways . It doesn't sound to terrible and my daughter thinks its funny. I call my yaris the fart box. I never small gasses in the cab. I had that problem with my camry so I know what it smells like.

[@chubbyb5718]

I took the wheel off. Little easier
