Use lots of Inox/WD40 on all nuts and bolts before you start mate.....

I went for the Genie Legendex and I am happy with it, is a bit dearer than the one in your link but is a known brand.

I have the Pacemaker King Brown 3 inch system and I am happy with it. Fits well and very high quality. 2mm stainless steel tube and all brackets are heavy duty. Made in Adelaide as well.

the 2.75" exhaust seems to work better on the CRD from what Ive read here,
If cash allows get the dump pipe ceramic coated as well,
help keep under bonnet temps down

Does it have an EGT bung welded in the dump pipe??

Really pleased with Beaudesert on my patrol. I went with the high flow cat and resonator option. Car has a nice deep note but not too loud.
Really friendly and helpful staff gave me some extra advice on removal of the turbo heat shield! Bastard of a thing it is!

Not convinced stainless is as cost effective as it used to be.
Exhaust pipe thats aluminized will last you for a long time without the high price tag

I went with 3" Taipan XP exhaust.
Nice and quiet, very low drone.

I wish I knew! Probably took an hour and I was very close to cutting it off but then........all of a sudden it came off! A bloke from Beaudesert gave me some photos showing how to cut it down prior to reinstalling which made it slip right in and also exposed the EGT bung.

Had Beaudesert across all my 3 4x4s that i've so far had. Very pleased, and fitting was a breeze, everything lined up. I have helped a mate fit up another brands exhaust to a hilux and I tell ya what, he got what he paid for..


Mudski put me onto https://dinkumexhausts.com.au/ as well they are local here. And I would have given them a go but already dropped $ onto beaudesert at the time...

Genie 3"stainless straight through but with a cat and its great with a good note.

You may want the muffler if you don't like it sounding like a blowoff valve when you pull your foot off the gas but I don't mind that.
