Frequently Asked Questions

Will this outback exhaust fit my Holden Colorado 7?

This outback exhaust system is designed specifically for Holden Colorado 7 SUV models with the 2.8L LWN Duramax turbo diesel engine manufactured between October 2012 and September 2016. It fits all Colorado 7 variants. Please verify your vehicle's engine code and build date before ordering. Note: This is NOT compatible with Colorado RG utes - they require a different system.

How difficult is the installation of the Outback Exhausts system?

This outback exhaust is a direct bolt-on replacement designed for straightforward installation. Most customers with basic mechanical skills and tools can complete the installation in 2-3 hours. We include detailed instructions with every system. Professional installation is recommended if you're not confident working under your vehicle.

What performance gains can I expect from an outback exhaust?

Most customers report noticeable improvements in throttle response, smoother power delivery, and better towing performance. While exact gains vary, typical results include 5-10% improvement in horsepower and torque, plus improved fuel economy of 0.5-1.5L/100km under normal driving conditions. The 2.8L Duramax responds particularly well to exhaust upgrades.

What's covered under the 5-year warranty?

Our 5-year warranty covers manufacturing defects, material failures, and workmanship issues. This includes weld failures, cracking, and premature corrosion under normal use conditions. The warranty does not cover damage from accidents, improper installation, or modifications.

How long does shipping take?

Most orders ship within 24 business hours. Delivery times vary by location but typically range from 3-7 business days for metro areas and 5-10 business days for regional Australia.

Will the outback exhaust be louder than stock?

Yes, you'll notice a deeper, more aggressive diesel tone compared to the factory exhaust. It's not excessively loud - you'll enjoy a quality performance sound without drone or excessive cabin noise during highway cruising. Perfect for that commanding diesel presence without disturbing family conversations.

Can I use this with a tune or chip?

Absolutely! This exhaust system works perfectly with aftermarket tunes and performance chips. In fact, many customers install this exhaust as part of a comprehensive performance upgrade. The improved exhaust flow complements tuning modifications and helps maximize power gains.

What's the difference between the Colorado 7 and Colorado RG exhaust?

While both vehicles share the same 2.8L Duramax engine, the Colorado 7 is an SUV with a different chassis, wheelbase, and exhaust routing compared to the Colorado RG ute. This system is specifically designed for the Colorado 7's unique configuration. If you have a Colorado RG ute, please select the RG-specific system for proper fitment.

Will an outback exhaust affect my ground clearance?

No. The Outback exhaust system is designed to maintain or improve upon factory ground clearance. We understand the Colorado 7 is used for off-road adventures, so the exhaust routing has been carefully engineered to avoid reducing clearance or creating vulnerable low points.
