One for the Tojo V8 lads/lassies with a modified exhaust (search revealed nought).
I'm considering it as I've been lead to believe there are slight gains in performance and economy. I'm not interested in re-chipping.
I've cut it down to either a Taipan or
Beaudesert system. Anyone out there who's been there, done that with either system and if so what are your thoughts after the event?

Rosco, I have a 200 series chipped and with a
Beaudesert 3" S/S exhaust. I can turn my chip off and it was fitted prior to the exhaust, I know a mistake. After I fitted the exhaust, which was a breeze other than the passenger side turbo nuts, but that's another story, I took it for a drive with the chip turned off. I have a
hill from my drive and it drove almost as good as the standard exhaust with the chip turned on. So much so, I now only use the chip mostly when towing the van. Slight improvement in lower fuel use but I put it on to help keep the turbo temps down. I would leave the cats on and not just from a legal point of view and the
Beaudesert comes with them anyway.
Hope that is helpful to you.

Jeff I am also thinking of the Beausdesert with no chip. I tow a camper about 1.1T.
Does the exhaust help the torque around 1500 - 1800 RPM and help it stay in 6th longer?
