D90...
New Dump pipe with Decat
Straight through centre box
Mated to factory rear piping and resonator (which is more than ample).

$600 fitted.

Quicker spool up, runs cooler under floor, can't guarantee fuel consumption but seems to be marginally better (not significantly enough to put solely on exhaust).

Weight saving would be 15kg tops...

My decat pipe was $150 delivered from the UK and took me an hour to fit, the muffler was replaced for $60 drive in drive out,the result is the average range per tank increasing from around 520km's to over 600. Pat

Thanks for the great comments and pictures fellas.
I already have a decat done, and whilst I've insulated the interior of my truck, and underneath with good results, am still interested in replacing the pipe work from my decat back.
Tombie, your system is pretty much what I'm after, hence my interest in the Vortex muffler box.
I'll ask around up here but really can't be stuffed going from shop to shop, as I need to go into Cairns.
If I get the resonator and use the recommended diameter stainless pipe work, it should be a suitable effective system.
I contacted Davis re their Alive tune spec exhaust system and am awaiting a reply.
15kg weight saving is a positive either way. I wonder how much I'll save by going to Dynema vs wire winch cable which I'm also considering as an aside?
More to follow.
Best wishes fellas.
Ken

Dyneema will drop winch weight about 8-10kg

I agree with Tombie 100%. As some of you know ive been testing my egts trying to get them as high as possible. It is my opinion that the factory diameter exhaust done the way Tombie explains is perfect if your running a remap and cooler. Some say the stock exhaust is sufficient, my personal real life driving experience tells me otherwise. I've done the mods, listed the results and hopefully thats helpful.

Where did you get the decat from Pat?

All I can say is $2K (probably closer to $2200 by the time it's shipped) is a bloody lot of work at a local exhaust shop.

I didn't realise the stock exhuast was that bad.
2.5" is a big bore for a 2.2L low revving Forced Induction donk.

Can't remember,Paddock spares or MM LR,all the UK suppliers have them.Cut the bottom foot and a half of pipe off the cat so you don't need to remove the cross member to fit it.It is an easy hour job to fit doing it that way,you need four bolts,two spanners and a hack saw. Pat

Absolutely,there's no way I'd pay that much for a glorified 2 stroke exhaust. Pat

Pat / D90 are yours 2.4 or 2.2?

I found plenty of ready made Decat pipes but they had a 4 bolt flange at the turbo..

What flange set up do yours have?

2.2 mate. I have no idea of flange setup. Haven't had a look
