kdr2171 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Hello, I have a 1986 Toyota Dolphin and it needs to have the exhaust pipes replaced. I went to my local NAPA and they looked at me like I had 6 heads when I told them what it was for. Any ideas on where to get the pipes for this? Thanks Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WME Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Ask if the VIN would help, otherwise try an 86 Toyota 1 ton C&C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wistoy Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 For my home I used NAPA - walker exhaust for a 1ton 1988 pickup truck, (1989 sea breeze), the exhaust fit good to the rear of the axle, where I added a 90* corner, and cut a length of 10' 1 3/4 inch pipe to the length I needed to clear the rear bumper, Be careful to route the new exhaust in the same way as the original, and use new hangers leaving proper spacing from the floor of you home, and tanks, (hot exhaust on our wood floors can cause fires). Remember your truck is a year older than your Mhome. Dale On 4/4/2012 at 12:36 PM, kdr2171 said: Hello, I have a 1986 Toyota Dolphin and it needs to have the exhaust pipes replaced.

90toydolphin Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 you might check with a local muffler shop where they just weld and bend blanks, might not be that much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiter Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Find a non-franchised muffler shop, theyt are usually less expensive and do good work. I just had a new muffler installed, $90. John Mc 88 Dolpgin 4 Auto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdr2171 Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 I need more than the muffler, i need all the pipes after that as well. I wanted to do it myself but if i cant find the parts then i will have to go to a local muffler guy and by that i mean not one of the national chains.

Derek up North Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Here's what I think is the closest offered by Walker - 1986 121" W.B. Would at least make a good starting point. You might have to insert a straight section if your W.B. is longer and for sure you'd have to 'invent' your own tailpipe (either out the back or to the side).

linda s Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 A nearby exhaust shop. They will measure and cut and weld pipe where needed. No after market exhaust systems for these. Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frontboat Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Yeah my rig lost muffler 10 days ago in Carthage Texas and Gateway Tire and Service Center had it back on the road for $120.00 in an hour. great shop. These rigs are blessed with lots of parts that will or can be made to fit with some welding. And they usually don't cost a fortune. I had to get part of it welded last year so 80 bucks and back on the road. I would not take it to a muffler shop but google reviews on local shops and see who is good, has facebook page as at least in they screw up you can call them on on social media eh! Good luck.

fred heath Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) Try some large truck garages. Many have pipe bending machines. And have a big enough lift to work on your rig. Judging from the look of your undercarriage I’d have the whole system replaced. Edited October 31, 2019 by fred heath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
