  • Straight Through Exhaust

    Anyone heard of someone cutting out the muffler or replacing just the muffler with a high flow type?

    Noise levels, power gains. Probably not legal I presume.

    be much different to upgrading the entire system? Cash wise gunna be cheaper

    I was talking to a few members late last year and looked into it but havn't gone ahead with it yet with my old 1KZ (not the 1KD). Will hopefully do it later this year but see how I go. i enquired to price and it was around the $160 to 200 mark. The guys I spoke to all commented that the diesel was more responsive and less laggy. Increases power somewhat and therfore would decrease fuel consumption unless your right foot is made of concrete. Changing oout the dumppipe as well would further improve things I believe.

    I do not believe this is illegal as most exhaust shops, if not all, will do it. Shop around as some of them will be reall expensive. The standard exhaust is mild steel BTW.

        i did this on my older 05 prado. No gain in power only a lot of drone at highway speed. Ended up putting a 3" system from Tiapan and a Dtronic. Biggest problem with the older 2 valve is engine shake breaking the exhaust welds. The D4D motor is quieter mainly due to the cat converter up the front. I have tried the same pipe from the 05 model on the new car and no where near as noisy.

            if you just use the std tail pipe it is 2.5 inch mandrel bent from the factory so no real need to change it, well on the 1 kz any way. cheers samo
