I put one on my ‘24 76 series V8 the week I picked it up.. Was no fuel lines to cut in the 76, just had to remove rear bump stop to get the old pipe out/new pipe in.. They sound great.. my only regret is I don’t get to hear my car as I drive 😂
You could tell you were a little hesitant cutting the fuel lines in the beginning, and I don't blame you. 😁It does sound better than stock, and you can even hear a little bit of the blow off valve whistle. Kudos to you for doing the right thing and keeping it legal. Full respect. ✊ Good luck with your warranty claim.
That's one of the first things I had changed on my 79. It was done by an exhaust specialist the mod being a 3inch dpf back exhaust with a 4 inch resonater. Was pleased with the sound, but a slight improvement in horsepower. Wish I'd had 4 inch all the way through, but the legalitys of it just wasn't worth it. Wish I'd had the rear axle width correction done instead of the Safari Armax package added.
Great video mate. Sounds really good 👍 I have a torqit twin 3.5 inch sitting in my garage waiting for my 79 to arrive. I bought it about a year ago at the 4wd show in Sydney for $2180 and now they sell for $3’000 can’t wait to put it on. Look forward to future vids mate cheers 🤙🏻
Hi mate , good vid thx I put a PPD dpf back exhaust on 2 years ago fortunately no fuel line relocation. It’s still going strong back don’t do the constant dirt u do 6 months ago I purchased the torqit module map . It’s sent to you and it does a factory read then u send data back thru a porthole along with your vehicles info exhaust tyres etc and they send you 3 tunes On the mind tune my clutch lasted 2/3 months started slipping on hills So went NPC 1300 . Love it now . I wouldn’t bother with Toyota. My brake rotors warped at 10k and they were an absolute nightmare to deal with. They did a shit fix and I’ve had them fixed finally elsewhere Btw torqit module map lets you revert back to factory settings within minutes which is why I went with it but if anything goes wrong I reckon Toyota will not be helpful anyway Cheers mate you live in a beautiful part of Aus
That's interesting mate, and my rotors are warped to I reckon. if I was after more power, it would have to be a proper dyno tune well within safe parameters. The dealerships can be bloody hard to deal with, you've really gotta have a spine and stand up to them I've found. sure is beautiful here, cheers 🍻
Thanks for sharing, love the detail you go into explaining the fitting unlike most who just show the after footage. Can you give an update on the door seals, noise reduction etc. Its pretty disappointing they are short of matching up the rest of the trim.
Good stuff, I installed the GSL diff actuator protector after seeing your earlier vid, had no idea before that. Dont worry too much about the dpf, the previous hilux/prado dpf issues seemed to be with city cars not getting a good run, I had one I just sold a 2016 2.8 with 175,000kms and original dpf, plenty of country mileage per year probably helped, but Toyota did extend all dpfs to a 10 year warranty. Im heading for the Tanami in July be good run for my new 78. cheers
Fitted HD clutch & 3.5" Torquit system over 4 years ago when vehicle was only months old. very happy with both products - nil problems with either. Won't say whether I removed the shit DPF or not!!!
How funny. I drive an 08 with straight through, have for 7 years. And to me this sounds great. The thong slap is over rated. I’d happily upgrade to a dpf model and settle for this. Love the vids mate.
Sounds beautiful idling, and there is no way even from a distance driving, that the ute could be mistaken for anything but a V8. Definitely a head turner.
Excellent video, thanks for the info. I’ve been considering the Torqit and will go down this track. Looking forward to seeing Toyota response. Good luck with those buggers
Gday, I seen an Isuzu delivery truck tip off a load of wooodchips and done a burnoff at the time, the driver thought he couldn’t move from where it was and the chips did catch alight, he shit himself pretty bad, the ute certainly sounds nice mate, cheers
@@OutbackOffroadNT pleasure mate , look forward to more in the future .. just got myself another cruiser too just before they pulled the pin on the v8s .. we will have to hang on to our v8s till we’re old and wrinkly .. 👍🏼
awesome episode, with clutches it in my opinion is a luck of the draw if you get a good one from factory, I had a 100 series turbo manual which needed a new clutch at 70000 kms and toyota said i tow a boat and would not cover the claim with my work 79 done 275000 with a mild chip and a upgraded exhaust has the original clutch, good luck with toyota👍
At Easter I was in a road side Police check the usual stuff drivers License, Drink and drug testing and something new a tailpipe check of newer diesels to see if the DPF was operational apparently a $2000 fine if removed by owner and $10K for a shop if they did the work
@@szejim1757 The problem is the Police can put the vehicle off the road till all faults are rectified a friend off mine was picked up for oversized wheels a easy fix but the bull bar was found to be non compliant as was the suspension mods it got very expensive
Just for your info. My 2022 LC just had a new clutch kit replaced. No towing, no towbar fitted. just a work truck They dropped the entire gear box. Warranty covered it. Low km. My lc is stock at the moment. Just boxes on the back atm
Hey mate, I managed to get my hands on a 79 series and I’m in the process of picking an exhaust with a good note. You mentioned gsl do a high flow dpf.. do they sell them individually because I’d like a high flow dpf with a torqit 4”. Cheers mate sorry for the essay lol
I been watching your vids mate good work to 😊.. as i got the same rig but dual cab and saw this video and got the same exhaust 3.5 torqit 2024 because urs sounds sweet but honestly doesnt sound anything like this ! Like hollow no throat . Mine Stock standard truck like yours to . Wtf im stumped ,but im not the only one to say this either i see . ...
Hey mate thanks, hmm that's strange. Mine isn't very loud at all in the cab. Maybe get a mate to film you driving past you with their phone and see what you reckon, from the outside mine is pretty mint. I've just recorded a new ep 4wding and it sounds good in low 4.
@@OutbackOffroadNT yeh they are okay mate but I got mine tuned at just autos in Nambour had the safari Armax package ECU clutch ect. I went from 400 nm with the Armax to 800 nm at the wheels I pull a big reef boat and didn’t want it to slip and have to pull the gearbox back out They said the 1300 nm npc would have handled that torque.
I have a 2021 78 and got a Torqit exhaust from a shop fitted.Fuel lines remained the same but I had the regrid my factory side steps as when on a lean it vibrated noticeably.Warenty's are great.......... until you need them.😞
There is a RUclipsr who lost his clutch on his fairly new 79. He complained about it. His Toyota dealer eventually agreed to install a new clutch for free but he had to pay for the part.
Unfortunately, a New Toyota 79 can be a real money pit. Clutch, Exhaust, Diff Correction, Snorkel replacement, Speakers upgrades, Seats upgrade. Wheels and Tires .Then you need a tune and suspension upgrade, This depends on what you want for a tray or canopy. Despite all those, they are a very popular vehicle to purchase, with a long waiting list.
They can be mate, though it's up to the individual how far they want to go. Like I said in the video, who buys a 4wd and leaves it stock? Not a lot of people. I certainly won't be putting seats in it or a "diff correction" almost everything else you listed most people change in any 4wd.
Those clutches must be pretty weak, bigger tyres would load it up a little, but with a v8 engine in a big truck surely they build them to tow big loads and you haven’t even pulled a 6 x 4 trailer !!! Not really good enough toyota , especially given the massive purchase price
Ive got the same vehicle, single cab, haven't upgraded exhaust yet, can't see why Torquit couldn't have fabricated that the same as the OEM exhaust,I wonder if gsl has the same exhaust design
I put a torqit system on my TD42 Patrol With all the hype and media marketing that the company uses I found my system to be sub par The welds were good but the exhaust mountings were garbage
If you want to keep your vehicle reliable and the warranty intact don’t modify it!! These cars are extremely capable stock it’s the stock Toyotas that last to 1,000,000kms not ones with big tyres, lifts, tunes, catch cans etc etc
I always say stock is best. However, obviously some things get modified eventually. Suspension being a big one, my standard gear is getting tired and the rear springs are sagged. I'm getting dust on the clean side of the air filter for example to, so thats going to have to change... I service every 5000km, that's what will get me to a million km's 😅😜
@@OutbackOffroadNT I hope your rig hits a mill too bro, if you’re getting dust in I’d definitely take it back to the dealership use phrases with the service manager like ‘not fit for purpose’ they hate that remember if they’re assholes about the warranty your always protected under australian consumer law
Funny you say that mate because I swear it's sounding better the more I drive it! But I don't know that it will soot much because having a dpf means a clean exhaust.
Another comment, I don't think you could improve the exhaust note, to me it sounds absolutely perfect. With the DPF, good to keep it, removes diesel particulates, and will stop our kids and others potentially developing lung cancer when exposed to these unfiltered particulates.

Keep the metal pipe from your fuel line as well... they can come in handy as well if you have problems down the track.

Good video mate, I couldn't hear the clutch noise you made reference to? Was the clutch slipping or was it difficult to shift gears etc?

What’s the stainless steel mate. 304L or 316? Do you know?
Unsure if passivated, stainless is 304
I reckon it would be worth getting each welds pickled mate.
There's definitely reassurance with the 10 yr warranty, but yes I wonder if they really go through the right process when fabricating these exhaust
