Bigger Exhaust

Matt,

In all of my 4wd vehciles thus far (toyota, nissan, suzuki) I have upgraded all of the exhausts. I must admit that although I didn't feel a huge difference in the Tojo and suzi, (pretty standard) my nissan definitely felt the difference. If you check my specs, you'll see why.

I had a 2.5 fitted straight through when the turbo was fitted but later was told by my current performance dude that 3 inch was much better, and what a change.

For your style of vehicle, you may find a little more power but you will most likely notice the cleaner rev range of the vehicle, breathing much easier IMHO.

Cheers mate,

Chris.

Increased performance will be 'it sounds different' so will feel better.

I went for extractors and 2.5in exhaust on mine before the turbo, and it made 0 difference. Others will defend their purchase by stating massive increases in power, cause they dont like to admit it was waste of coin.

If your not replacing the complete system, I cant see how there would be difference in power, as its still restricted from the engine to the cat..

Is there a Pajero club in WA? Maybe a call to them may assist.

maybe of use to you they are in Vic, but a few emails from you to them may get you some genuine answers.

Also have a look at http://www.pps.net.au/dinos4x4/ hes in WA with a modded Paj..

YMMV

Matt,

I've got a 3" on my TD Patrol. In order to have any affect, like Truckster said, it needs to be all the way through the exhaust system. In my case, that included a whole new dump pipe (from Binskins at Wauchope NSW). The dump pipe alone cost $220- and provides a much bigger appeture (spelling?) right at the turbo outlet, for the gases to escape into the 3" pipe work. Also, I only used a short Lukey hotdog muffler and no resonator at the rear end. It made a noticeable difference to the truck's low-down performance (ie from idle to when the turbo cuts in at around 1800rpm). Noise level has hardly been affected, but it does have a different note to a standard 4.2 T/d

Thanks Gents,
will look into getting extractors, Sports Cat and a 3' from there back. this is in preperation for the Supercharger.
