Installation

This is a bolt-on replacement exhaust system designed for straightforward installation. Most customers with basic mechanical skills and tools can install this system in 2-3 hours. Professional installation is recommended for best results. No cutting or welding required - simply remove the factory exhaust from the catalytic converters back and bolt this system in place.

Performance Benefits

The 3" mandrel bent design significantly reduces exhaust back pressure compared to the restrictive factory system. You'll experience improved throttle response, better power delivery throughout the rev range, and enhanced fuel efficiency. The Patrol Y62's 5.6L VK56VD V8 petrol engine particularly benefits from the improved exhaust flow, with noticeable gains when towing, loaded, or driving on the highway. The lightweight 23kg design also contributes to improved overall vehicle dynamics while delivering that distinctive V8 exhaust note.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the outback exhaust improve performance on my Patrol Y62?

Yes, the 3" mandrel bent design reduces exhaust back pressure significantly, resulting in improved throttle response, better power delivery, and enhanced fuel efficiency. Most customers report noticeable improvements in drivability, especially when towing, loaded, or driving at highway speeds. The 5.6L V8 petrol engine responds particularly well to improved exhaust flow.

How does the outback exhaust sound?

The outback exhaust produces a deep, refined V8 tone that's noticeably sportier than stock without being overly loud. It enhances the V8 character while remaining comfortable for daily driving, highway cruising, and family use. You'll hear a satisfying growl under acceleration with minimal noise at cruise - perfect for long road trips.

What's included in the 5-year warranty?

The Outback Exhaust's 5-year warranty covers manufacturing defects, material failure, and weld integrity under normal use. It does not cover damage from accidents, improper installation, modifications, or extreme off-road abuse.

Do I need to tune my vehicle after installing the outback exhaust?

No tune is required. The outback exhaust works perfectly with the factory ECU calibration and will provide noticeable improvements on its own. However, many customers choose to add a tune later to maximize the performance benefits of improved exhaust flow.

How long does shipping take?

Most orders ship within 1-2 business days. Delivery times vary by location: metro areas typically receive orders within 3-5 business days, while regional areas may take 5-7 business days.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, Outback Exhausts ships internationally to select countries. International shipping costs and delivery times vary by destination. Enter your country and postcode at checkout for accurate freight quotes. Please note that international customers are responsible for any customs duties, taxes, or import fees charged by their country. Contact us for specific international shipping enquiries.

Can I install this myself?

Yes, Outback Exhausts is a bolt-on system designed for DIY installation. You'll need basic hand tools, jack stands or a hoist, and 2-3 hours. However, professional installation is recommended if you're not confident working under your vehicle.

What's the difference between cat-back and turbo-back?

A cat-back system (like this one) replaces the exhaust from the catalytic converter outlets to the rear, retaining the factory catalytic converters and front pipes. A turbo-back system replaces everything from the turbo outlets, including the catalytic converters. 

Will the outback exhayst fit diesel Patrol Y62 models?

No, the outback exhaust system is specifically designed for the Nissan Patrol Y62 with the 5.6L VK56VD V8 petrol engine (2012+). It will not fit diesel variants or other Patrol generations. Please contact us if you need an exhaust for a different Patrol model.

Does the outback exhaust improve fuel economy?

Yes, many customers report improved fuel efficiency after installing this exhaust, particularly during highway driving and when maintaining steady speeds. The reduced back pressure allows the engine to work more efficiently. However, actual fuel savings will vary based on driving style, load, and conditions.

Will the outback exhausts rust?

Our 409 stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance for Australian conditions. While 409 stainless may develop some surface discoloration over time (especially in coastal or high-humidity areas), it will not rust through like mild steel exhausts. This is why we can confidently offer a 5-year warranty.

Can I use the Outback exhausts for towing?

Absolutely! The outback exhaust is ideal for towing applications. The improved exhaust flow reduces back pressure, which helps the engine breathe better under load. Many customers specifically upgrade their exhaust to improve towing performance, and the Patrol Y62's 5.6L V8 engine responds particularly well to the reduced restriction when pulling heavy loads up to the Patrol's 3.5-tonne towing capacity.

What is the VK56VD engine?

The VK56VD is Nissan's 5.6L V8 petrol engine used in the Patrol Y62. This powerful engine delivers strong performance and torque, making it ideal for towing and heavy-duty use. The VK56VD responds exceptionally well to exhaust upgrades, with noticeable improvements in power delivery and efficiency.
