3" from dump pipe straight thru no mufflers. that is the go gives it a nice sound

sweet thats what im after how much would i pay for this system.. and would the motor gan more power cheers

Go for a bigger 3" dump, followed by a 3" mandrel bent exhaust - no mufflers.

Will cost from $900 up to $1800, supplied not fitted. I run an MTQ and find it is built well, is modular (not two piece) which allows for more flexibilty for mods, and it was shit easy to put in ie. all of the mounts lined up and it fitted up more snug than the factory unit.

anywhere around 1200 fitted for a 3" mandrel bent system, its the first step in getting decent power from your TD42

Another 400 odd for a 3" dump pipe...

my 3" cost me 250 for the cast dump and 200 for the straight exhaust. all mandrel, with a stainless flex joint and a flange behind the cab. (mild steel)

i would shop around i would not pay anything more then 1000 max for 3" straight thru from dump pip back. not mandrel bent but.

i guy on patrol forum was selling a denco 3" dump pipe for 150 im pretty sure

I paid $800 fitted for 3" mandrel bent system with 3" dump pipe, flex joint and pyro bung, for my TD42 GU.
It's not pretty but sounds great and well priced

A different place quoted me $1500+ for the same thing with out blinking an eye!

Shop around!

You should buy 1000 of them and sell them for what everyone else pays for them, and retire. Neat $700 profit on each one...

could you use a dump pipe of a skyline or any other car from turbo????

You can probably get the right flange for the turbo, but getting the right exit angle is tricky. I'm pretty sure i have to make a dump for mine, however dumbdunce has had success with the same turbo i'm using paired up with the factory dump (the combination is off another vehicle).

At the end of the day, unless you have the equipment to fab one, it's a lot quicker and easier to just buy a bolt on system thats already been tested/proven.

hey mate, jump onto EBAY.... full 3 inch exhaust including turbo dump for around the 500 mark.BRAND NEW. cant go wrong.... cheers

fairly certain these are mandrell aswell..BUT.. i could be mistaken on that part.. cheers

bogged, dump pipe was from beudessert exhausts and the rest was made local. but i know the guy so it was basically cost.

but seriously, i think anything over about 7-800 for a full mild steel mandrel exhaust without mufflers is a total rip off.

Depends on your turbo placement.

I can fit one on mine, though the turbo is after market and it will sit a bit closer to the firewall than I would like (40-50mm)

its a aftermaket turbo glide set up high mount ....

anything over 300 or 400 for ANY system with no mufflers is complete rip off.

just a wee off topic I paid $900 full mandrel with muffler , extractors ,flexi join all new and mild steel for $1800 Id expect it to be nice shiny s/s and near be able to have a shave in the refection

Is this on a ute?

I thought it was illegal to have an exhaust finish under a vehicle?

By finishing just before the diff your pipe will be about 1/3 shorter than normal and you havent got the hard bit with all the bends; hence the cheap price.
