Quality, heat isolation, also the crossover if done behind the heads may need a flex coupler, mine did or else it cracked. It could also be that the owner ran the exhaust down the passenger side for a bit and then swapped sides somehow, which would introduce problems of its own (clutch slave heating up, fuel lines in close proximity, fuel tank on passenger side...).

I just bought my garage kept 97 4Runner Limited 4x4 V6 for $6600. I've seen basic SR5 4Runners for $4500, and 6cy 2wd basic rigs for $3500.
