3 inch exhaust on a 2.8
G`day Guys
After searching the forums on the best size exhaust for my 2.8 and talking to various exhaust places i finally went with the 3 inch system custom made with mandrell bends to suit the car and have to say out of all the mods ive done this is the best thing ive done its just transformed the car beyound what i was expecting hills i could only do in low range first are now easily done in second its got more grunt now from a standing start and its definetly using less fuel aswell
Theres only one thing tougher than my truck............. YES DEAR GOING TO DO THE LAWNS NOW

Aaah yes Werribee, spent a bit of time there in late teens & hot cars. X Geelong boy.
Not a bad $$$ for the exhaust buddy, is it stainless or mild steel ??

Its mild steel but compared to the mild steel ones on ebay still comming out well on top on price and the difference its made is more than worth the price

Very unlikely, it's a turbo (RD28T).

G'day Tony, good to see ya back mate. Hope you and the familys doing well.
So tell me, diesels and turbos are all relatively new to me, know how to drive em but not a lot more.
Got the RD28Ti myself, do they not make or fit extractors to turbo motors ?? and why ??

Thanks mate, still busy but drop in when I can.
You can get extractors/tuned length manifolds for some turbo engines but cast iron manifolds are more robust for off road use.

I dont have extractors. 3inch is from the manifold and turbo comes on earlier and car seems a smoother. Also did the egr valve and removed the butterfly and added a catch can. EGR and butterfly made a difference but changing the exhaust seems to of made the biggest difference.
