Exhaust 3 inch or leave standard

Can those in the know tell me what improvements I should expect from a 3" exhaust system compared to standard.
Will I lose or gain power or economy doing this but not fitting a chip and if a gain how much, is it worth it?

There are a lot of discussions on this subject if you do a bit of a search, I just can't get the links on my phone right now

3" would be over kill, you'd loose bottom end torque. I noticed quite a difference with a free flow muffler recommended on this forum and which my local guy said was best bang for buck. Also added a Steinbauer chip,really noticeable when towing

Haven't noticed any loss of torque, but that big 3 inch dump pipe sure looks impressive.

Does look nice, but I'm surprised that you haven't lost any low down torque. Good to know

Agree with bushy, haven't noticed any drop in torque with the bigger exhaust, only improvements.

I'm thinking of Taipan XP or Beaudesert Exhaust. Has anyone chosen either of these?

Checkout the Genie Legendex Exhaust.

i have a 3 inch and if anything the less pipe restriction allows the turbo to spool up quicker meaning i get more 'oomph' at lower revs...plus sounds cool too.

Since my earlier post I have spoken to Shaune at Grapnel Mufflers in Balcatta.
He has same model 150 diesel fitted with 3" system tows his large boat with better midrange torque and recommends this way to go.
He has done my old Troopy full system and custom work on my stretch Ford limo knows his stuff.

I fitted a 3 inch Taipan XP after doing a fair bit or research. It was down to the Taipan or Beaudesert but I was able to get the Taipan fitted in Newcastle with a discount through a friend, but it was still a pretty penny. Honestly, it is very low on the scale of bang for your bucks as you don't notice that much of a difference. I had a snorkel, K&N filter and Steinbauer chip fitted beforehand so to me I really on felt the difference when towing and in the exhaust note. The larger bore and free flowing of the gases drops the exhaust temps down, especially under load so because of the amount of towing near the limit that I do, it was a sound investment. For others not towing heavy loads, not really worth it IMHO, not for a full system.

Hally,
We will be watching what you do with great interest. You might be a pioneer with the 2.8L GD Prado.

Hey mate, who you getting to do it?

When I was looking at this prior to adding my Steinbauer from what I read on this forum going from high flow muffler to 3" exhaust gains you a nice exhaust note and about 3kw on the dyno.

I'm getting it done by Scotts Rods at Ipswich. Have always got them to my exhausts over the past 7 years never had a fault
