Thread: Exhaust Mods: This looks the go

I did. Hence the bracket. Looks stock from above!

And then to confuse things more, the respected Berimah Diesel use a 3 inch system with their Puma system, complete with their Vortex Box.
$1570 or so.

That's a TaipanXP exhaust - available from the maker in Queensland...

I had the Vortex exhaust on my TD5. Had a nice note and went well.. did it do anything else above a quality flowing 2.5"? I doubt it, but I was testing exhausts for performance gains so fitted it..

Next vehicle/engine went with a very clean flowing 2.5" and had no problems at all and EGTs seemed similar.

You won't ring any more out of a 3" that's for sure.

Thanks for the QLD manufacturer tip Tombie. It read like they had produced the system vs just retailing it.
I'm sold on the 2 1/2 inch system benefits for our trucks vs 3 inch after market pipes which are probably only 3 inch as they all fit these to other makes.

Not without a much bigger turbo at least! (e.g. in the case of a TD5 motor the Turbo Tecnics Stage 3 Hybrid S220 VGT requires 3" but your talking some extreme modification work then)

So effectively fellas.
With my mods which consist of:
Alive stage one tune
Raised air intake
Decat
EGR blank and switched off at the ECU
Larger intercooler and radiator

Would I LOOSE anything by fitting an after market 3 inch system over a 2 1/2 inch system.
I am quite interested in the Viper XP system from the manufacturer for their performance claims ( which I realise would only be validated by before and after Dino runs and actual driving experience.

Can of worms I know.

I doubt you would lose. From all reports they are a well made system...

If it's what you want give it a go, the vortex mufflers do have a unique note...

Check if they can bolt up ok, the tend to have Cats in their systems!



You would have to see if they will fit one without it if you don't want it...

I had a system made up by them about 10 years ago for an RA Rodeo I had for work.It was fitted with gas so the exhaust was custom.Drove up overnight from Sydney,had it made up while I waited and drove back same day. I didn't do any measurements regarding egt's or dyno measurements but the truck definitely went better on the run home. Sound wasn't over the top but sweet! Workmanship is excellent.Mine was in the mild steel and my nephew now has the truck with the same exhaust system. I think you'd have a problem,though, convincing them to build a system without a cat. Let us know how you go. And looking at their website I don't think they have a system for a 90 Puma,but I'm sure they'll make one up. Organise a group buy.If you dare!
