The MagnaFlow BRExhaust direct-fit kit (part 106-0146) is a replacement exhaust for the 1995-1998 Toyota T100 with the 3.4L V6. This Direct-Fit Exhaust System Kit is designed to fit the 1995-1998 Toyota T100 3.4L. That engine is the 3.4L 5VZ-FE V6 Toyota introduced for 1995. Stock pipes on these trucks often rust out, and this kit is built from durable Aluminized Steel. The manufacturer says its precision mandrel bent pipes facilitate superior exhaust flow compared to the crush-bent pipes used by many competing replacements. Because the piping is aluminized rather than stainless, buyers should expect a clean OEM-style replacement backed by a 2 year warranty, not a power gain. One forum member who tried a louder muffler on a 3.4 V6 doesn't think a high-flow (read: loud) muffler on a 3.4 naturally aspirated V6 will do much for performance.
For a bolt-on swap, the manufacturer notes that no bending or welding is required for installation. The kit is interchangeable with OE parts 17410-0W030, 17410-0W031, 17430-62210, so match your factory part number before ordering. Owners who have swapped T100 mufflers on user forums describe the job as about 30 min on a comparable one-piece replacement, and one owner noted it was easy to install by just jacking up one side. Search terms this kit matches include 1995-1998 T100 3.4L exhaust replacement, direct-fit aluminized T100 exhaust, mandrel bent 2.25 inch T100 muffler, and no-weld bolt-on T100 exhaust.
The manufacturer lists 106-0146 for OE numbers 17410-0W030, 17410-0W031, and 17430-62210. The 106-0147 is listed for OE number 17430-62220. Check the part number on your original system before ordering.
No. The manufacturer specifies aluminized steel construction. Owners on user forums have reported that factory exhausts on these trucks rot out, and some have chosen stainless steel for a replacement to avoid repeat rust.
The manufacturer states that this kit is designed for the 1995-1998 Toyota T100 3.4L. Confirm your engine size and model year with the manufacturer before purchase.
The kit is designed to bolt on without cutting or welding, and the manufacturer includes the ring gasket, nuts, bolts, and U-bolt clamps needed for the job. Owners who have replaced T100 exhaust components on user forums say the work is manageable with the truck safely raised on one side. Plan on soaking the fasteners in penetrating oil, since rusted hardware at the connections is the most common frustration with a job like this. Check the manufacturer's installation instructions for the full tool list and torque details.
