Thinking of getting a 3 inch exhaust for my V8 ute and was wondering who has one and what brand did you get.
Also has anyone used a 'Mantra' exhaust system.

I have had 2 4.2 TD cruiser both with 3 inch mandrel bent exhausts, one was a taipan the current is a mercury. Both gave good gains and made driving more enjoyable.
The taipan was slightly louder on the freeway.
Either way, I would recommend the 3 inch exhaust to anyone considering it, 4,6 or 8 cylinder.

Hi David, not familiar with the Mantra exhaust. I put a 3"
Beaudesert Exhaust system on my V8 79 Series. Also a DP chip. Between the two, it has made a big difference.
We travel very heavy and tow a 3,500 KG off road van. Being from WA, you might not know Cunningham's Gap - up the Dividing range to
Warwick, Qld. Before the mods I used to go up in 2nd gear when loaded and towing. I now power up in third.
