Frequently Asked Questions

Will this exhaust fit my Toyota Hilux LN172?

This exhaust is specifically designed for Toyota Hilux LN172 models with the 3.0L 5L-E DTS turbo diesel engine from 1997 to 2005. It's a direct bolt-on replacement requiring no modifications.

What material is the exhaust made from?

Our exhaust systems are manufactured from premium grade 409 stainless steel, providing superior corrosion resistance and durability compared to mild steel alternatives. This ensures longevity even in harsh Australian conditions including beach driving and outback touring.

How difficult is the installation?

This is a direct bolt-on system designed for straightforward installation. Most mechanically inclined owners can install it with basic tools in 2-3 hours. However, we recommend professional installation for best results and to ensure warranty compliance.

Will this exhaust increase my Hilux's performance?

Yes, you can expect noticeable improvements in throttle response, turbo spool, and overall power delivery. The 3-inch mandrel bent design reduces back pressure, allowing your engine to breathe more efficiently. Many customers report improved fuel economy and lower EGTs as well.

What's covered under the 5-year warranty?

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

How loud is this exhaust compared to stock?

This exhaust produces a deeper, more aggressive note than the factory system while remaining comfortable for daily driving and highway cruising. It's designed to eliminate drone at cruising speeds while giving you that satisfying diesel rumble under acceleration.

Do you ship Australia-wide?

Yes, we offer free nationwide delivery across Australia. Your exhaust system will be carefully packaged and shipped directly to your door. Delivery times vary by location but typically range from 3-7 business days.

Can I use this exhaust with a tune?
