A cat-back exhaust system replaces the exhaust piping from the catalytic converter back to the rear of your 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner. Upgrading to an aftermarket cat-back exhaust improves your 4Runner’s exhaust flow, increases horsepower and torque, enhances engine sound, and often reduces overall weight compared to factory systems.
Our performance cat-back exhausts are designed to deliver better throttle response and robust exhaust notes while maintaining emissions compliance and daily drivability.
