Thread: 3" exhaust for "Baldrick" TD5 Defender

Love the chassis sandblasting from 9 years in WA mining region and the wimmera in Vic. Was an ex land surveyers car

Looks good clarkee, might have to give them a ring. Need to buy myself a Chrissy pres

That looks like a great job looking at getting the 130 done as well , any one no of a good exhaust place in WA.

If you mean Perth, Hans-On-Exhausts at Maddington did my 3" mandrel for a very good price.



Clarkie - Looks great! - IRC it was claimed in another thread that one of the "expert" Td5 tuners says that anything over 2.5" will overspeed the turbo... ???

In our case it's probably cheaper to make our own than go to Perth.The pipes including bends can be bought on line,you just need a mig. Pat

You can ONLY overspeed the turbo if you fit a hyclone to the end of the 3" pipe!!!!

Optimum for a TD5 is 2.75"

Overboost and overspeeding are common with 3". But does depend on the muffler.

The aftermarket turbo guys won't warranty the units with a 3" pipe.
