There is a good woman for you. One who knows how to fix your car when you can't. More power to you and thank you for the video. I loved it. ❤❤❤
Thanks for this, I'm doing the entire system on my daughter's sienna today from the cylinder heads to the tailpipe, and I just wanted to see how the new manifold gasket goes on. There's no way I could afford to have a mechanic do it. Great job, much appreciated!

Great job! I love seeing actual people doing the job in the real world rather than the tons of videos that are taken in a shop on a lift with all the perfect tools and everything just comes apart like magic. I know when I do stuff, I always hit an unexpected broken or frozen bolt and I usually wind up needing additional parts!
Man, I got a 2006 Toyota Sienna and I'm always watching your videos! Much Love !

Thanks for sharing a helpful video👍
Thank you for taking the guess work out of the job. My Daughter took her Van to the local mechanic, they wanted 3k to do the job. I stepped in and said hell no ! Purchased 2 new cat's and 4 sensors for $ 250 from Ebay.

lady, you're awesome!
I like watching you do this job with the car jacked up, but not on a lift, and using mostly regular hand tools. That pipe you were trying to cut sure looked like it had be cut and rewelded several times. Those for sure were not factory welds.
Nice video its the 1st one I've seen with the rear manifold being replaced. Most just show replacement of the one in the front

Are you still having luck with the aftermarket converters? Also wondering if you replaced o2 sensors at the same time as the converters Thanks

Theres a 3rd converter past the y pipe towards the middle of the van. I wonder if that converter may be plugged and throwing the codes

I may just cut the 3rd converter out because there arent any o2 sensers near that one. It only has the sensors on the manifolds

I can't remember if I got the code for Bank1 or Bank2 at the time but I need to check the one you mention and thanks for the info
Great video! I’m just wondering if you could tell me how you were able to get to the bolts on the cat that was at the back of the motor? When im under the car trying to access them, I can manage to get to the top three bolts that connect the headers to the motor, but the bottom three seem near impossible to get to? Any advise you would much appreciate!

I would recommend going over the top of the subframe in the back with a couple of extensions but you might not be able to do that until you remove the rear catalytic converter first I hope this help.
Im looking at buying the same cat converter on ebay; I appreciate you making this video- I was worried about breaking bolts off in the manifold, so i was gonna pay a mech to do this but I think I may be able to handle it- How hard was it to access the nuts on the back side manifold? I am a big guy not sure my hands are gonna get a good grip on a ratchet

@@fixitchicktv Ty for your reply! I still have the bolts in place, so I should just be able to unbolt it without cutting- my sienna van has 300k miles on it and im having lots of issues with it right now- I am getting codes p420 p430 and I've replaced all the o2 sensors. recently my power steering pump/belt has been acting up (mostly in rain/cold weather) but I am not sure if thats causing the van to be really sluggish on acceleration and intermittently I feel a vibration and a low roar/hum that seems like it goes away when I give it more gas. My MPG has been terrible lately too, I think I am only getting 10-15mpg so I suspect that the cat is the cause, but there could be multiple issues. Exhaust sounds terrible, tomorrow I am gonna replace the power steering belt and inspect the front end/exhaust further to see if there is something else that could be causing my issues, but I really think its a clogged cat converter considering the mileage.

@@jeffandhisdogs Toyota p0420 & p0430: Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1 & Bank 2) Possible causes for the codes are A failed Catalytic Converter, A Faulty Oxygen Sensor, Damaged wiring and loose connection, Exhaust leak. I would recommend you check all the wires for the o2 sensors and check for an exhaust leak because I had a leak in my exhaust at first after I fixed that the code came back then that's when I replaced both of the converters then my check engine light finally stop coming on after I had erased the codes. I was wondering do you have the dust shield in place on the wheel well because if water is getting in it can cause the belt to slip so I hope this help you.
Maybe I missed it in the video but why were you replacing the cats?

Check engine light was on. So I scanned for codes and got P0420, and I also had an exhaust leak as well, causing me not to pass the state required emission test. Thank you for watching my video
