Re: what do, exhaust for my vx80, 4"?
This is something I'm working on at the moment, going inside the chassis next to the gearbox, 3" is tight but i'll make it work ... the factory cast elbow is terrible.

Re: 3 inch exaust systems. where to buy. 80 serries and safa
May as well chuck this question in here..
Anyone with 80s done an 'inside the chassis rail' 3" exhaust?
I started making a flange for the turbo outlet to make a straight downpipe instead of that stupid point at the wheel cast elbow thing.

I quite like the look, also the fact they go from 200c to 1100 hundred means us folk dealing with celcius get a good range up to 700

Re: Which Engine in the Gen 2 Pajero
Curious, I was just looking at Pajeros as a summer hack.
What are the 3.0 and 3.5 V6s like on fuel economy compared to the 2.5 and 2.8 deisels?
I appreciate they are thirsty but is it a no brainer going for the diesel
