Hey Guys!
All Terrain Industries Website is - atindustries.com.au/
Discount code for 5% off is - LOWRANGENICK
Cheers :)
Discount code doesn't apply mate, just a heads up
@@joshmele5238 discount code was valid for 3 months from date of publishing the video. So it doesnt work anymore. Cheers
Installed my chrome pipes yesterday. Looks great, but whistles it's ass off now.
Thanks for your vids Nick.
Keep em coming 👊
Good tip is keeping the old hoses as spares. Never know if needed one day
don’t forget to use a bit of flange sealant or something, threadlocker 515, or whatever their purple stuff works a treat
Thermal rap on them would help keep the air temperature heading in the right direction.
Another great video mate, always worth a watch
Thanks A lot 😀
brought this, fitting tomorrow. Thanx
Got my set pre ordered. Cheers for the discount mate 🤙
Awesome! Cheers Jakkob 👌
Could you guys please tell me where during the checkout process you enter the discount code? I just can't find it.
Low range nick just ordered thanks for the discount
Hi Nick got my pipes 2months later just a quick question after install does yours whisle more????? Many thanks or do I have a leak???
Thanks Nick and All Terrain industries just ordered a kit carn't wait to slap it in my MUX .
Awesome! Cheers Mathew 😊
@@LowRangeNick arrived this morning whats that about 48hr after purchasing awsome.
@@mathewwhite9139 How's that for service! Awesome 😊
Fast delivery but the bung is the wrong thread or the thread in the pipe is wrong .🤨
@@mathewwhite9139 Hmm that's strange, they are a Tapered fitting so they will only go in so far. They aren't like a normal thread and bolt. They need to have thread tape or pipe sealant put on them also.
Looks good Nick but you should have painted one red lol. Cheers Steve
Nice... Sounds different too
Nice video Nick. Your engine bay always looks in show room condition. Impressive!
Little hit with the gerni after every trip does the trick 😋
Just ordered mine, unfortunately the discount seems to have expired. Thanks for all the videos
Sounds diferent too
Hi Nick, thanks for the video, shame it didn't come in the factory orange or the cherry red of your billet accessories, that would look sick. Keep them coming. Thanks again.
That would be awesome haha maybe I will have to get some billet red pipes made up. 😋
Just get wrinkle paint from VHT... orange/red-
@@kaetos03 No not wrinkle paint, anodised aluminium like Nicks billet radiator tabs and oil cap or gloss paint would be sick.
Hi your videos are very informative, what do you do if the in take got oils on it?
Fit a catch can or don't worry about it. Either way it will be fine haha
Great video mate
Thanks for the video.
Hi nick,just wondering if a split intercooler hose from turbo could contribute to a p2457 code,have had both egr sensors replaced and egine light is still coming on any help would be appreciated 👍
Same pipes for the BT50?
Good vid , any issues with the engine not being able to move as freely under load ? the rubber hoses seem to allow more movement.
For most cars you can get silicone intercooler piping, which isn't as rigid as hard metal pipes. It still allows for natural engine movement while alleviating the sucking/compressing under load issue that OEM rubber hoses suffer from.
Hi nick, great videos, but I purchased some new pipes from ATI and now I'm told 2 months wait, a total joke, wouldn't be recommended th these guys, cheers
Also they didn't recognize the discount code
I got mine yesterday after 3months, had to chase them up twice to find out what was happening!
Why is there no aftermarket link pipe for between the turbos on the twin turbo 2.5 D Max ?
That’s a cracking question I bet we have to make one from a Samco hose or something like that
Just stuck these ATI pipes on my 2020 today, a cinch to install and look great. Sure FEELS a bit more responsive down low... but that might just be my wishful thinking! ;)
Hi does it whisttle a lot?
Also interested if you notice the turbo/induction louder?
Hi. I took my intake hose off yesterday and noticed there was a slight film of oil in there. Is this normal if you dont have a catch can? Thanks.
Yep, that's completely normal. Nothing to worry about.
Awesome mate thanks for all the information so much appreciated are you still loving the MUX
Still Loving it 😊 Such a great vehicle.
All good great video's mate keep em coming 👍
LowRangeNick happy with mine had it two years no problems yet coming upon 30k love the fuel economy
Just what I was looking for, I've been warned off getting hard stainless intercooler hoses as the hoses "need to have done flex in them for when the engine moves" is this true?
like cracks in his Intercooler
Does it work with the 2.5 liter as well?
Hey Nick,
4JJ1 Bling have a full hard pipe kit which replaces both plastic and rubber pipes.
What would be the benefit or downsides of this? Not sure if I want to do what you have and just replace the rubber or go all out. Any advice would be appreciated.
pretty sure the only “rubber/plastic” poles on the intake are into the turbo and those 2 pipes he replaced
Hi Nick great content once again. I'm from south africa and in market for an Mux. I will mainly be driving offraod on the beach or to get to the beach. Most of the secondhand vehicles don't come with a rear diff locker. Is it really needed?
A rear diff lock isnt necessary but it will help the vehicle in tough offroad situations.
Hi Nick did it make much difference???
Does it affect your car warranty???
Thanks for your time and help
It did make a difference. More responsive now! It doesnt effect your warranty.
LowRangeNick hi Nick. I have just put an Idrive on my Mux. Makes a big difference. When you say the new pipe has help. In what situations does this help. I still find sometimes the very first touch of the accelerator there is a slip hesitation pulling across in front of traffic. Would this be help by the pipe. Thanks Neil
@@neilbates8409 It will help with the response of the vehicle when accelorating. It would help reduce the lag on take off.
LowRangeNick thanks mate love your stuff.
Nicely done sir! By the way, what's your take on blow off valves? Do you plan to install one?
Hi Nick can you advice me on a gear box oil cooler you recommend...I'll be towing a 2tn caravan.
Krgds Marc
Hey Nick is there much-increased induction noise from doing this? If so It's not an issue, in fact that's what I'm chasing.
Yes there is, it makes the boost sound louder.
Great video. Looks like I need to do the same. I do have one question though. I’ve got a new 2021 LSM, well nearly new with only 20k on clock. Ex demo. Is it normal for the motor to vibrate or shake a little while in park? My first Isuzu.
Cheers
It will vibrate a bit as it is a diesel engine. Pretty normal for diesel engines.
Love your videos. Received my pipes by courier today.
Just wondering, have you covered your breather hoses with a thicker rubber hose? They don't look like the original install
Awesome! I've got a catch can fitted which goes onto the breather lines.
@@LowRangeNick I mean the black plastic piping that runs to your breathers at the back of the bay, on your firewall?
@@haydenjaques5091 ahh righto haha gotcha! Yeah just covered them in some plastic split tubing conduit.
@@LowRangeNick might do the same
Hi Nick, love your videos.
I have a 2016 Dmax (no dpf) with 90k on the clock. Have noticed a drop in power recently. Did 25k around Aus last year towing a trailer. Car is meticulously serviced well above logbook standards.
It doesn't have a catch can, basically because i didn't have much knowledge when i bought it compared to what i have now. I feel as though its too late now to install one.
Do you think this upgrade could help me restore power? I did your air sensor clean but didnt notice a difference (the sensor was filthy with cape york dust!). I haven't removed the intercooler pipes to inspect them yet.
Was hoping you could give me some ideas. I'd bring it to your shop but i live on GC !
Thanks mate.
Did you try cleaning the map sensor as well ? The one in the intercooler pipe. It may have a bit of carbon build up in the intake if it hasnt had a catch can fitted. Fitting one now wont fix the issue of the blocked intake but it will prevent any more issues in the future. You Would need to check the intake for carbon build up and get it cleaned. You can try a few cans of threebond diesel intake cleaner to try and free up any carbon buildup as a starting point. Upgrading the intercooler pipes will give slightly better response.
@@LowRangeNick thanks mate. Yes i did clean the map sensor and change air filter.
I've never used an injector cleaner because someone told me they can damage piston seals etc.
Will have a look at carbon cleaners thanks.
I had my 2016 DMax tuned at Performance Tourers 4x4 Sydney. I also noticed the power drop through the years and the mechanic said it was a faulty turbo solenoid valve which caused $350. I've got my DMax tuned and now preforms better than when I bought it. Didn't get a catch can either. I've now got 160hp and 540Nm of torque based from the dyno run.
Hi Nick ,I replaced on my D'max those tubes ,respond is better but turbo wisely a when I am driving is it normal?
If there is a hissing sound or squealing sound it could be a boost leak. I had to upgrade all of the clamps on mine to seal the pipes correctly.
I’ve seen an oil leaking out of one of my pipes, very little oil, does this mean I need a catch can?
I have a 2019 dmax
Could be a good idea. It will help you remove the oil from the intake.
Looks like the hard pipes transfer a lot movement to the body and intercooler might cause damage some where else?
If you have a closer look in the video the pipes mounted on the body are rubber mounted via little rubber bushes. This will absorb any movement. The intercooler is also mounted on rubber mounts. Having the silicone joiners either end of the hard pipes also helps absorb any vibrations. The system is already very well setup to absorb movement/vibrations so there wont be any issues. In the sections were I load the vehicle up it is for demonstration purposes and the engine reacts differently when you are driving on the road.
I think shorter hard pipes longer joiners would be a good idea
Hi Nick, you do a great job on you video's , One but ? now you have made a much more rigid motor assembly, is their enough flex in the hose joints or will it make a new weak point some where else . ( inter cooler connections/ welds). ?? Cheer's.

@@LowRangeNick No probs man, time will tell . Im really interested in it, looks and sounds great, i will do it to my pajero sport. In time to see the goods A.
G'day Nick any reason why you didn't go chrome or just for looks ?
Just looks. I prefer the satin black pipes.
nice man
Hi Nick. Thanks for your videos. Just installed my black pipes and car sounds great and preformes beter. No lag.
I have just one question? Does it make a whistle sound when you accelerate. Just want to make sure I got everything set up right.
Thanks to Allterrain Industries for shipping the pipes all the way to Honduras.
I have a 2015 3.0 MTd Dmax with 8Okms. Going for the catchcan!
Keep up the good work!!!
Hi Nick. Appreciate your videos! Keep them coming. Just a question on the hard intercooler pipes. I read an article recently that states that the aluminum pipes create a higher temperature than the rubber pipes. If that is correct would that be a deterrent for travel in hot outback places? Not sure if you have heard about this possible problem at all?
I dont really see how it would cause any issues. The intercooler is alloy, the turbo is alloy, the intake manifold, cylinder head etc is all alloy just like the pipes. I dont see it causing any issues.
Does changing the pipes void warranty 🤔
Hi mate can you do a head unit upgrade
Hello, made contact to all terrain industries, to ask them if they have intercooler pipes for my european spec(2,5l twin turbo 163hk diesel) D-max. They said no. But I wonder, what is the engine code on the cars in Australia? or maybe the part number on the orginal hoses?
The Aussie isuzus come with the 3.0l 4jj1 engine
does this also work on dmax 2014 2.5L
I just ordered a month ago. When on standing and bonnet open, it works normal even if I put extra RPM on it. But when driving, hissing sound is tremendous. I wonder if that is the waste gate or something but whistles too much. I put back the normal rubber pipes and the whistling came off. Does it needs tuning after replacing it with the hard pipes?
It sounds like a boost leak. The hose clamps that the pipes come with are terrible. I upgraded mine and now they seal perfectly.
Thanks @@LowRangeNick. Can you provide a link on what hose clamps I need to buy? Appreciate all your videos. Keep 'em coming!
@shanghairolls I just went to my local auto store with one of the clamps and matched up the same size with Tridon clamps. On the clamps it will have a size like 50-75mm that's all you need to match up with some better clamps. Any auto store should be able to help you out with that.
Hi Nick love your vids. I fitted the black intercooler pipes few weeks back and shes looking really mean! Lately I've been hearing hissing noise coming from under the bonnet when I accelerate. I've checked all the hose fittings and they're all tightened. I wonder what could cause the hissing noise?
Hi Jamal, if all the clamps are tight it could be the bung leaking. I did have to replace all the hose clamps on mine to get them to tighten properly as well.
@@LowRangeNick are you suggesting the rubber connectors might have a leak? I'll have a check. Do you recommend I relighting the clamps or change them out?
@@jamalhassan1284 I found the clamps the kit comes with weren't very good. You can replace them with better quality t bolt clamps or tridon clamps. If you are hearing hissing it sounds like you have a boost leak.
@@LowRangeNick I'll get the clamps replaced. I put thread tape on the little boost blank tho. I'll recheck it again
Hi @@jamalhassan1284 How is the hissing noise on your hard pipes go? I'm having the same issue after replacing. The whistling is very annoying so I put back the stock rubber pipes for now.
Hi knik , did this change the note of your car after installing? mine has a high pitch whhistle now ive put them on at higher revs under load
It does increase the turbo noise. It makes it louder when you are under boost. If it is a hissing noise it may be a boost leak, loose hose clamp or incorrectly sealed boost T bung.
@@LowRangeNick yeah mate thanks went over it all before i read this went to steel hose clamps over the ones supplied and it fixed the issue , the boost coming on is highly noticable thats for sure
is the better acceleration response legit? or is it just placebo?
Yes, there is a noticeable increase in response.
Hey, mate do they have these for the V6 Toyota prado 2009 onwards and or other accessories.?
I dont believe so. They may have some other accessories. Check out there website. Link pinned in comments ro to.
are the metal pipes the reason for the louder whistle?
Just installed mine yesterday and the turbo whistle is twice as loud. And almost constant
Do they make them for 2010 dmax?
nice one, did you look at the munji ones at all? tossing up between the two
Yeah I did. I dont like the big brand logo on the pipes and they are also more expensive.
@@LowRangeNick yeh fair enough, I'll add it to the list haha cheers
Do you need new engine mounts or is that normal?
It's normal when loading the vehicle up as I was during the demonstration
Do you install auto cruise steering controller?
It comes from factory with cruise control.
Hey mate. I found another set with the boost connection on the cold side pipe from the manifold back to the intercooler, whereas your one is on the hot side going into the turbo. I plan on getting this set but would the boost be reading incorrectly? Does it matter?
Hey John, it doesn't really matter were the boost is read out. Either will be fine.
@@LowRangeNick thanks for the quick reply! Okay that's good to know. I recently just replaced the cold side with silicone hoses and joined a 2.5 inch 45 degree pipe with the boost connection. Works like a charm. I'm seriously considering investing in this kit though. Would you say the response time from the accelerator pedal is a bit better?
@@johnmay330 It has improved the response. Its not a massive gain or anything but it is noticeable.
@@LowRangeNick thanks for your input mate. Really appreciate it. I went ahead and purchased them straight from ATI. Did you find the clamps that came with them a little bit weak? I can hear hissing noises from under the bonnet and I tightened all the clamps. I read somewhere here that they are not that good and I should get better clamps. What are your thoughts?
@@johnmay330 that's correct John, the clamps are terrible. I replaced all my clamps with tridon clamps.
Any warranty issues when fitting these nick?
Only if the pipes are a direct cause of a fault or issue.
Are silicone hoses any better than rubber?
They are better.
@@LowRangeNick was thinking of getting just silicone no aluminium pipes. Cheers
Hey mate,
Went to put in the hard pipes that rocked up yesterday, they worked great but it keeps throwing codes.
So upset they look great and I want them in so bad!!
If you have any ideas that would be great.
Check all the hose clamps are tight and the little boost T bung is tight and sealed. Some people have had issues with the hose clamps coming loose. Did you disconnect anything else while doing the fitment? Have to read the code and see what it is.
Hey mate found the problem the flog in the end of the spanner (me) forgot to tighten one of the nuts
Cheers from PH man! How do you achieve that after rev whistle?
How to order
My pipes squeal like a bloody elephant under boost 😂 did you take them up?
A few people have had issues when they overtighten the clamps they loosen. Try a new set of clamps and check the bung is sealed properly. 😊
Got mine yesterday and noticed it whistled like crazy, thought I had stuffed something up?.Moved the clamps around and got it better, still way more boost/whistle noise than I was anticipating.
@@CRN8091 I took mine off and went back to the originals. Would you like a spare set? Lol
У вас приводной ремень агрегатов сильно дёргается
It’s all out of stock 🙃
Far my engine doesn't move that much
It's for a demonstration to create boost. Under normal driving conditions it doesn't move that much.
Nitpicking, its not a dragster.
Schwachsinn!
What brand is your steel bumper?
