Jimny Exhaust System: How to Choose the Right Setup for Better Performance

It's compact, but the Suzuki Jimny's light weight and dynamic four wheel drive system make it an attractive option for city driving, touring and off-road adventures. The easiest way to enhance its driving experience is to replace its exhaust system. The right Jimny exhaust system will allow for better exhaust flow, better throttle response and can give your vehicle a more meaningful exhaust note.

But not all exhaust system upgrades fit all Jimnys! The selection should be based on the performance requirements and driving style of your engine.

Why upgrade your Jimny exhaust system?

The factory standard exhaust system is intended to comply to standard requirement but can be enhanced with an aftermarket exhaust system for better flow and lesser restriction. If the exhaust gases are released from the engine more efficiently the vehicle can feel more responsive especially when accelerating, driving uphill and off-road.

A quality upgrade can also provide:

• Improved throttle response.

• An increased, deeper and sportier exhaust note.

• Improved durability in touring and off-road conditions.

• Possibility of engine efficiency improvements overall.

Depending on design, more clearance and protection under the vehicle.

It is always worth considering that an exhaust system should be combined with other modifications. If you have made modifications to the intake, engine management or turbocharging systems on your Jimny, a professional will be able to advise you on choosing the right exhaust system for your modifications.

The selection of the right exhaust configuration depends on the type of engine.

There are a number of things to take into account before choosing an exhaust system. This can be a cat back exhaust system, manifold back exhaust system or a full exhaust system modification.

The rear portion of the exhaust system is replaced by a cat back exhaust system. This is sometimes a sensible option for owners who do not want to upgrade the front portion of the car.

A manifold back exhaust system can provide more of the exhaust path and may offer better improvements in flow. Before buying however, compatibility of the Jimny's engine and any existing modifications needs to be checked.

To get a more complete upgrade a complete system can offer uniform performance throughout the exhaust system. This depends on how important everyday driving is whether you need the extra power for off-road driving, the sound of the engine or modifications that you might make in the future.

Concentrate on materials and construction.

Off-road vehicles are subject to dust, moisture, mud, stones and repeated vibration. When it comes to the selection of Jimny exhaust systems the system must be well constructed.

The exhaust systems we produce here at Outback Exhausts are made in Australia from premium 409 stainless steel which is known for its durability in vehicle applications. Mandrel bent tubing is also used in our exhaust systems to ensure a smooth internal exhaust path and promote efficient exhaust flow. 750C Heat resistant enamel paint is used to coat the tubing for extra protection.

An exhaust system needs real mounting spots, strong welds, and enough space under the car. Those small things add up when the road turns rough with rocks. They also matter when you load the car for a camping trip and move gear around.

Take Sound, Comfort and Legal Requirements into account

Don't assume that a louder exhaust system is a better exhaust system. Some noise can become a problem during prolonged journeys and may cause problems with local vehicle regulations. Seek an exhaust system with a more refined and deeper sound and with little drone within the cabin.

You should also be able to get an exhaust system up on the Jimny that is legal to drive on the road. Before making your installation it is important to check the catalytic converter, the emissions systems and noise level. If you are not certain about the installation or if there are local regulations turn to a trained exhaust specialist.

Installation and the long-term value.

When designed to fit the vehicle's original mounting points installation should be simple. Outback Exhausts systems are fit as bolt on systems to make fitting easy and enable the products to be fitted to factory locations.

Conclusion

Picking an exhaust system for a Jimny is not a one step choice. You end up weighing several items. First you think about power. Then you check the noise level. After that you consider how long the parts will hold up. You also look at fit and ease of installation. Finally you make sure it follows the local rules where you live.  

If you buy a well known brand and a design that was built right, the outcome can feel better. A mandrel bent exhaust system made with good parts may make the engine seem more responsive. It can also give you more stable control when you are on normal roads. The same benefit can show up when you are driving off road too.
