2003 with 140,000km. My cooler has some oil on one of the corners so it is leaking.. And any intercooler with crimped tanks is utter rubbish!

A factory replacement wiv the end tanks tig welded are more than suffice.. my egts dnt go over 400 period.. thats even limiter bashing in the soft stuff...

Pretty close in most values, yet to do my intake .
Patrol wasnt really warm in that pick ,
it was after a quick sqirt down to the supermarket
I think the MAF value may be lower with the larger intake???

I was keen for a set of these.. But changed my mind after hearing feed back from people i know...

Yeah there good in the sand and quiet on the road. But add wet roads and there like a racing slick.... Pretty average in the mud as they don't self clean to well..

Shame because i had my heart set on them.. but decided to look for something else. :(

I think u will always get mixed feedback.. some good some bad.. have u seen the youtube videos of them? Cause there disgned so they self clean and perform in the wet too.. il try find a link..

A mate almost ended up in a guard rail a couple of times in the wet.. His Wife drives the car with the kids etc in it.. they only had 5000km on them and flogged them off and went back to KM2's As he felt they felt better on the road then the Grabbers...

Each to there own tho, If you do get some let us know how they go!

Where are you getting your exhaust from??

I ordered one from 4wdShitaCentre last weekend.. heard nothing from them all week so i sent them an email on Friday asking what the go is.... They got back to me telling me there out of stock... and 1-2 weeks till they have them in stock again and will send mine out then... So pretty much 3-4 weeks after i paid for it i will get it... Not impressed not impressed at all!!! But i guess it's to be expected to anything connected with Tigerz11

Ye thats a bummer considering there dominator exhaust systems are made in Melbourne by burkley... a good product for the price tho.. put one on my bros hilux.. good fitment/quality.. il be getn my exhaust frm playtime auto parts.. 530 to my door.. 3 inch system with the rear muffler changed out to a hotdog.. pyro bungs welded in etc...

Yeah i looked at the Playtime and DEA ones... Domin8r look to have better hangers and 4 bolt flanges with the Pyro/AFR bungs in them out of the box... But at end of the day it's just a bit of pipe.. As long as it fits good... $530 to your door is cheap.

EDIT:

I ordered one of them coolers with the welded tanks the other day... I bet that rocks up before the exhaust... lol

If you are changing the dump pipe make sure you spray heaps of WD40 on the nuts before trying to remove them, it will hopefully stop you from snapping one of the studs

We had an exhaust company in the family for close to 20 years.. So i know a few tricks... lol

I am dreading the heat shield after all i have read about removing it... But looking at it.. it can't be that hard.. (famous last words)

The dreaded heat shield... Cut/smash it off.. The last 2 bolts at the back are the worse. Lol...
Hopefully my exhaust rocks up on Friday so I can fit it the weekend...

Spray the crap out of it first with something to penetrate the rust.. and keep spraying...

If you can get vice grips onto it.. it is worth a shot... or if you have a welder, weld a nut onto it and undo it.
