Depends who you believe! I'd be interested to know too, am about to get mine remapped (though in an L320 RRS). I do worry about exhaust temps etc.

I'm thinking about it too. Who are you going with?

Laurie I'm pretty sure CSChris dad a remap and exhaust done by Roo Systems.

Superchips... I'll keep you posted

Gents, had a remap done at Roo with twin 3 inch exhaust about three years ago on a 4.4SDV8 and very happy; gained about 40kw and 150nm per before and after Dyno - the maps have been posted in this forum previously if you search. Recommended - but pricey!!!

Thanks Chris
I saw your results, but as far as I recall; your the only member here that's had a bigger exhaust fitted, and that was to a 4.4 TdV8 not a 3.6. The only reason I bring that up is the different setups on the 2 engines in how the turbos work and the influence of back pressure on each. Given the amount of both variants of the TdV8 around, you would think there would be a lot more exhaust mods done ? Or did LR get close on this ? I'll ring Roo Systems today and ask if they have any dyno results , for just the exhaust mods and no re-map and I'll post the reply .

I spoke to Roo Systems this morning, they recommend the re-map only for most drivers ! unless your going for all out power with the TdV8 3.6 The gains compared to most other vehicles is small considering a price tag of $3000 for the exhaust. The R/R system is better than most expected

Nice to know! Peter from superchips just read my car, will work the file and do the flash tomorrow. He assures me it's a "conservative" tune - extra low/mid range torque, driveability etc. Fingers crossed...
