These early sr5's have short tail pipes, and the rear steps are low.
This pipe puts the exhaust out the side, and stops the step from going black.
The Lux has just done 60,000kms still going strong.

Dave.... not the ideal spot for a pipe but is OK if you never go off-road :)

I've got mine facing downwards dumping on the ground, works a treat.

Yeah but it was already stuffed and hanging low anyways :) this time it shouldnt be much of an issue, its no lower than factory and the fact that I won't get to play in that type of terrain again haha

That grill on the blue Hilux looks like the one off the new fortuner. Is this right?

Of course I may be wrong, but I've been checking them out on the net and have seen a few with them, just can't remember the link that's all.

Cheers,

Well it's been over a year since the last reply and i'm going to give it a 'bump' just for old times sake :)

I've never had a thread do so well and am happy it was filled with good advice and awesome pics.

Anyway i'll see you all at newhilux.net.

Cya,
