So there has been a whistling noise coming from my 95 ssrx kzn130 surf for the last month (stereo fixed that problem) until i went under to have a look and it turns out the exhaust has a dent just before the exhaust tip then in that it has a crack approx 30mm long then before the muffler (from the engine) in the bend it has a big crack approx 50mm long and a decent dent. idk how they got there havnt done anything rough with this truck but whats the best option???

A, Get it fixed and leave as is

B, get a straight through muffler and make the exhaust come out the side before the rear tyres

C, Get a bigger better exhaust.

D, A combination

Im running a 1kzte will it be an easy job thats not to pricey to get done with the best benifits to the engine and fuel economy??

Thanks heaps

Have a chat with Hornby Exhausts. I got full 2.5" exhaust from turbo on my old Prado for about $500.

I guess you'd go 3" but seem to remember him saying it'd be about the same price. That way you kill 2 birds with 1 stone!

Cheers, Rhys.

go to uniweld mainsouth road hes 4wd friendly did my system from dump pipe to rear bumper in 3inch with mandel bends 600 buks

just put a straight pipe on the RHS of the car. better sound and power. and less weight.

just have to find a dump pipe now to get the engine to flow into the new system (still sorting mine - have the turbo flange but not the time or $$$ at the moment - its on the long term to do list)

get a spare factory cast dump pipe and take it to a workshop with a few boxes of beer now while a lot of bosses are on holiday, cheep labour everyone likes working for beer this time of the year

That was my thinking too. Anyone got one laying around for a 1kz-te 96 prado 9Ifs model)? sorry for the thread jack.

sweet thanks for the replys guys how long ago were those exhausts installed? thats quite cheap i was thinking it would be alot more than that.


Is it legal to go straight through without a muffler out the side? i would be keen do do that but would the wof guys start having a cry??

Was at uniweld yesterdaay they said pricing still the same as i was getting qoutes for my hilux ute once i turbo it.

outstanding! thanks heaps for that

uni wield place to go from the flexi just out behind my rear tire 2.5 i supplied my own muffler tho its basically straight through was $250 it took about 40 mins and they guy there are premo guys .

agreed grant and brett at uniweld good bastards
