question about 3inch exhaust for TD42T

[nev7899]

Hi mate,

I just fitted a Redback Exhaust to my 4.2, engine was stock with factory exhaust. System I bought came with dump pipe, straight through with no muffler.
I fitted it myself, everything lined up good and seems to be excellent quality. I haven't had it Dyno tuned yet, but the difference is already impressive, ute is quicker and sounds awesome. The turbo seems to wind up quicker.

Today I did the EGR block and removed the butterfly from the intercooler, didn't notice any difference in power, but getting it tuned soon to hopefully see better results.

Hi Nev, I can highly recommend Chris Dalton from Dalton Engineering in Wood St South Geelong to tune your TD42T, he is a great guy and will get a great result for you. tell him what you want and he will get it for you. Very well priced and an honest Tune. Make sure you have fitted you manual Boost COntroller before you go there and he will sort it out for you.

Oops, my bad. Should of picked up on that. A little optimistic maybe.
Will go with the exhaust and see how I go, planning to fit a front mount down the track as the car doesn't have one (early model GU) but need to save.
Also just to check have you guys just gone straight through (no cat and no muffler)?
Any recommendations for a brand of boost controller or stick with something like turbosmart?

Hi Mudrunner,

It's funny you should mention Dalton's, I went him a saw him yesterday after coming highly recommended from work mates. The ute's going in on Tuesday, see how it turns out. He's just around the corner from me too which is an added bonus.

Pottsy, the system I fitted was straight through (no muffler) sounds awesome, but it's not loud when cruising. Lookup Redback Exhaust on ebay.

Cheers nev, have had a bit of a look around on the net but have also been into AAA exhausts just near mine where he quoted me $800 for a custom 3 inch straight through exhaust and dump pipe. Have heard good things about them so will more than likely go with them.
Do you mind me asking what the redback set you back?

The Redback exhaust was $1040 delivered from Queensland to Victoria, I didn't shop around locally, but that was the best deal I found online from a reputable company. I've had it tuned this week, which included dyno tuned, boost increased, fuel + idle adjusted and manual boost controller fitted. Cost $330 and the results are fantastic, it's like a different car. Much more torque, faster and he said to expect the same if not better fuel economy, attached is the dyno readout.

Cheers for the reply, good to know it's not to loud and the gains look good, original output is the same as mine so will be interesting to see what sort of power I get once it's dyno'd with a different brand of exhaust.
Will make sure I pop the dyno readout up on this thread.

Darrens gu I think has one muffler.
My na td42 was louder with stock exhaust.

I can see a trip to Geelong coming on once my exhaust & gauges are fitted.
