Toyota Hilux 3" Stainless Exhaust System Install
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This is a stainless steel exhaust system by PPD, its a 3" system which allows higher exhaust gas flow for increased performance and a better sound of the vehicle when compared to stock exhaust system.
This particular systems specs as per PPD website:
- 3" Polished 304 grade Stainless Steel Piping, stainless corrosion resistant --- components, coated steel flange plates.
- EGT port included in dump pipe (1/8 NPT)
- High-flowing design but no drone
- 3 bolt connecting flanges for bolt-on installation
- TIG welded
- Mandrel Bent
- Gaskets and bolts included
I have never done this before so here is what went down when i installed this system to my 2012 Toyota Hilux.
Link to the exhaust that i got, below:

Update... The exhaust bracket that connects to the bell-housing has broken which i believe was my fault (see the 9:00 for the bracket im referring to) but the bracket has snapped through and also created a crack where the bracket attaches to the exhaust itself. Iv welded the hole in exhaust and just have removed the bracket entirely, so far it's fine but time will tell where the next stress point will be, due to the lack of support now where that bracket was. Cheers
Just fitted a PPD 3" system to my son's N60 Hilux. The nuts on the dump pipe were a great pain in the rear! took forever to remove. Once everything was off it was a 5 minute job for 2 clueless do it yourselfers. The sound and lowdown torque increase made it all worthwhile...............
Solid watching for another day in isolation, great work man! Good to know re. those tabs on the gasket, I wasn't sure.

Thanks mate, appreciate the comment. Stay home = save the country.

I did mine backwards. In that I chipped her first then added a throttle controller and I’ll do the exhaust now. Great video. I set my Steinbauer conservatively and I’m stoked remembering she’s no late model Ranger, Navara etc.

hey man did you end up getting a tune/ do you think they are neccessary got 3inch on the way, have heard you dont need to but to take full advantage of it, its wise. whats your opinion. also nice vid :D

Hey, no i haven't got the tune done yet but it's on the wish list. Ive heard the tune will make a fair bit more power with the stock exhaust but having the 3inch should allow to squeeze a bit more out of the tune. Cheers

Won't this drop the back pressure to much ? I've heard the turbo needs some resistence in the exhaust for propper back pressure. anybody have thoughts on this? can you do the exsaust safely without a tune ?
@bernardlim7123
Жыл бұрын
Everything you've heard about back pressure is most likely from someone trying to sound intelligent without knowing what they're talking 😂😂 You want absolutely no back pressure in any turbocharged setups. The bigger is always better in turbocharging. Yes, exhaust is fine without a tune in most diesel applications, but with turbo cars, especially the newer ones that have their wastegates electronically controlled (Newer 5.5 twin turbo AMGs and the likes) will throw a check engine light; in which case you'll need a tune.
