Best Exhaust for Ford Everest
The Ford Everest is one of Australia's most popular family 4x4s and for good reason. It's comfortable on the highway, capable off-road and available with a choice of diesel engines that respond well to aftermarket upgrades. But if you're running the factory exhaust, you're not getting everything this platform has to offer.
At Outback Exhausts, we build exhaust systems specifically engineered for the Ford Everest both the older 3.2L five-cylinder and the newer 2.0L Bi-Turbo. Every system is Australian made constructed from 409 stainless steel, and backed by a 5-year warranty. No generic fitments no shortcuts.

Why Upgrade Your Ford Everest Exhaust?
Whether you're towing a caravan across the Nullarbor or navigating corrugated tracks in the high country, your Everest's exhaust system plays a bigger role than most people realise. Here's what a quality aftermarket exhaust actually delivers:
- Reduced exhaust backpressure — lets the engine breathe more freely and the turbo spool faster
- Lower exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs) — critical when you're working the engine hard under load
- Improved throttle response — more immediate power delivery especially at highway speeds
- A better exhaust note — deeper and more purposeful without being obnoxious
- Potential power and torque gains — particularly when paired with a tune
The right system depends on which Everest you're running. Let's break it down.
Outback Exhausts Systems for the Ford Everest
1. SCR Back Exhaust — Ford Everest 3.2L P5AT (2015–2021)
If you're running the older generation Everest with the 3.2L five cylinder diesel this is the system for you. The SCR back replaces everything from the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) unit rearward, improving exhaust flow and sound while keeping your emissions equipment fully intact.
It's the ideal upgrade for 2015–2021 Everest owners who want a genuine performance and sound improvement without touching the emissions system keeping the vehicle compliant and avoiding any fault codes or warning lights.

2. DPF Back Exhaust — Ford Everest 2.0L Bi-Turbo (2022+)
For owners of the current generation Everest with the 2.0L Bi-Turbo diesel the DPF back system is the go to upgrade. It replaces everything from the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) outlet rearward improving flow and delivering a noticeably better exhaust note while keeping the DPF in place and the vehicle fully street-legal.
The 2.0L Bi-Turbo is a responsive modern engine that benefits significantly from improved exhaust flow. This system is the most popular choice for current gen Everest owners who want real world gains without any compliance risk.

SCR Back vs DPF-Back: What's the Difference?
The terminology can be confusing, so here's a plain-English breakdown.
The SCR back system is designed for the older 3.2L Everest. The SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) unit is part of the emissions system that treats NOx gases using AdBlue. An SCR-back exhaust starts from the outlet of this unit — so the SCR stays in place, emissions compliance is maintained, and you get improved flow and sound from that point rearward.
The DPF back system is designed for the newer 2.0L Bi-Turbo Everest. The DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) captures soot particles from the exhaust. A DPF back exhaust starts from the DPF outlet the filter stays in place and you get a meaningful improvement in exhaust flow and sound without touching the emissions hardware.
In both cases, the emissions equipment is retained these are clean, compliant upgrades that won't cause warning lights or compliance issues on a street registered vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which exhaust suits my Ford Everest?
It depends on your engine and model year. If you're running the 3.2L P5AT (2015–2021), the SCR back system is your match. If you have the 2.0L Bi-Turbo (2022+), go with the DPF back system. Both are engineered specifically for their respective platforms.
Do I need a tune to benefit from the exhaust upgrade?
No you'll notice improvements in sound and throttle response straight away without a tune. However, if you want to maximise power and torque gains pairing the exhaust with an ECU tune will give you the best results.
What material are the exhausts made from?
All Outback Exhausts systems are constructed from 409 stainless steel a high grade material chosen for its heat resistance, corrosion resistance and long term durability in Australian conditions.
