Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Outback exhaust fit my GWM Cannon?
Yes, Outback Exhausts are specifically designed for GWM Cannon NPW models with the 2.0L GW4D20M turbo diesel engine manufactured from September 2020 to current 2025 models. It's a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory DPF back system. Please verify your engine code (GW4D20M) before ordering - this is typically found on the engine cover or compliance plate.
How much power gain can I expect from an Outback Exhaust?
The Outback Exhaust 3.5" DPF back system typically delivers 15-25 horsepower gains at the wheels, with even more substantial improvements in torque throughout the rev range. Most owners report the biggest difference in throttle response, reduced turbo lag, and stronger mid-range pulling power. The turbocharged GW4D20M responds exceptionally well to reduced backpressure, making the Cannon feel significantly more responsive, especially when loaded or towing heavy trailers and caravans.
Is the Outback exhaust louder than the factory system?
Yes, this system produces a noticeably deeper, more aggressive diesel tone compared to the very quiet factory exhaust. It has a satisfying rumble at idle and a purposeful growl under acceleration, with nice turbo whistle and wastegate sounds. However, it's not excessively loud during highway cruising - the sound level is ideal for those who want improved performance and a more engaging exhaust note without excessive cabin noise. It's significantly quieter than straight-through systems.
Can I install the Outback Exhaust myself or do I need a mechanic?
This is a bolt-on DPF back system designed for straightforward installation. Experienced home mechanics with proper tools, a quality jack and stands, and basic exhaust work experience can complete the installation in 2-3 hours. The DPF back design means you're working from the DPF outlet rearward, which is more accessible than full turbo back systems. However, professional installation is recommended if you're not comfortable working under your vehicle or dealing with potentially seized exhaust bolts. All necessary gaskets and hardware are included.
Will this Outback exhaust improve fuel economy?
Yes, many customers report improved fuel economy, particularly during highway driving and when towing. The reduced backpressure and improved turbo efficiency allow the GW4D20M engine to operate more efficiently. Typical improvements range from 10-15%, with the biggest gains seen during steady-state highway cruising and when towing. Results depend on driving style, vehicle condition, load, and terrain, but the larger 3.5" diameter provides measurable efficiency improvements.
Why 3.5" diameter instead of 3"?
The 3.5" diameter is specifically optimized for the GW4D20M's power output and turbo characteristics. The GWM Cannon's turbocharged diesel produces significant exhaust volume, and the larger 3.5" diameter provides maximum flow reduction in backpressure while still maintaining proper exhaust velocity. This size delivers the best balance of low-end torque, mid-range power, and top-end performance for both stock and modified Cannons. It's particularly beneficial for towing and heavy-load applications.
How long will an Outback exhaust last?
Our 409 stainless steel construction is built for extreme durability. In typical Australian conditions, you can expect 15-20+ years of service life. The stainless steel resists corrosion far better than mild steel systems, which is especially important for beach driving, river crossings, coastal environments, and the high-temperature operation of modern turbocharged diesels. We back this with a comprehensive 5-year warranty against manufacturing defects and corrosion perforation.
How long does shipping take?
Yes, we ship world-wide with fast dispatch. Most orders are dispatched within 24 hours. Metro areas typically receive orders within 3-5 business days, while regional and remote areas may take 5-10 business days. This is a large, heavy item (22kg), so freight times may vary by location. Full tracking information is provided for all shipments so you can monitor your delivery progress.
