Hi guys hope this is in the right section , My truck is none turbo , has any one swapped the standard front muffler out for a sports muffler using the standard pipes ? If so has it done anything good or bad , noise or performance ? cheers guys .

Paul? Tony? Rohan? Wayne? Ross? Anyone?
It all depends on exactly what muffler you fit. I've fitted a 3 inch exhaust to a TD42T with a sports muffler that was smaller than the original muffler, and it was as quiet as standard.

As Tony said it depends on a few factors but talk to your exhaust bloke he can give you a better idea on the products he sells & the likely out come as well.
If you tell them what it is your after thay can suggest a course of action as well.

I'm running a DTS turbo with a 3" straight through exhaust system, yes it is very loud but I love it.
Even in my old 2007 GU I was running a 3" straight though system off a 2.5" turbo dump.
I was actually after a bit of volume and performance [ not crazy loud just to be able to hear it would be nice] i went down the local mffler shop which the guy said he had a patrol as well and he was quite happy with just replacing the front muffler with a Sports muffler with the standard system he noticed a gain in volume and also a little more go , but what he thought was even better was that he got an extra 50km a tank . I was just wondering if any one else had done the same and what the results were ? Cheers guys have a good week end .
hey try to use dynomax muffler is the best, on my patrol i use this muffler and it works awesome
X 2. Sorry
The only advice I can give you is not to make it that loud that it draws attention to yourself, otherwise the cops might sticker it.
Then, the examiner's start at the front number plate and work their way back very slowly to the towball.
If you're unlucky, you'll walk away with a shopping list.

Hi guys thanks and yes i dont want it to loud just a bit of a note would be good , i would only be using the standard system which is 2 inch and either swap out the front muffler for a sports muffler or replace front muffler with a straight through pipe , i dont think it would be very loud either way being it is only a 2 inch system and still has the rear muffler on it . Cheers guys .
