If you disable the chip is there still a performance or fuel economy improvement over standard?

The answer to your question would then be Yes, an aftermarket exhaust alone (without a chip) will make a difference.[COLOR="black"][b]William[/b][/COLOR]

kev and matt
was the exhaust a cut and chop or was it a bolt on item , as spoke to a local 4x4 shop and they suggested the front muffler was a cut and chop -- and then tried to push a 3inch system?
i havent had the chance to get under the car yet

Cut and welded. Three inch is just gonna burn up all your low down torque..
Go for the muffler first and see what you think.[CENTER][B][U]Matt

Matt's right, had a 3 inch system on my previous 4wd (D4D hilux) had to drive it up in the rev range to get any performance gain no better down low even alittle weaker. I'm doing muffler only on the prado as it's heaps stronger than the hilux ever was performance wise.
