Mine sits at around 3000rpm @ 110km/h. :(

I swear my 4 roof spotties are like parachutes.

EDIT: I ride on massive 31's as well :P

Hilux straight through exhaust

G’day all Ok, so I’ve heard that cutting back the exhaust pipe and bypassing the muffler reduces back-pressure and makes a 'nice sounding roar'. I have a single cab 2.8l diesel lux. No turbo.
