Manta Exhaust suitable for HDJ79 Ute – 3 inch
Material – Aluminised steel – black coating
We supply & Fit these Manta exhausts as the best sounding, best fitting option for the 79 series Troop carrier.
They sound just right and free up the 1HD-FTE Engine, the hotdog resonator keeps the sound from being too ‘droney’
HDJ79 – This Exhaust will suit a factory turbo 1HD-FTE and also directly bolt up to all of our GTurbo and UFI Turbocharger upgrades from HD Auto — Complete kit with gaskets & bolts required.
HZJ79 – Will also fit HZJ79 with HD Auto turbo kit, or CT26 turbo conversion.
In terms of sound level Manta rate their systems in ‘LOUD’ ‘MEDIUM’ and ‘QUIET’
We find for the HDJ79, being factory turbocharged. You can always opt for a louder option, the MEDIUM option is a safe bet which unlocks the famous sound of a 1HD-FTE like it should. But we wouldn’t consider to be at all too loud or ‘droney’ – considering it has a resonator and a turbocharger.
The LOUD option is a Straight pipe Exhaust with no resonator or Muffler.
-If wanting to go quieter at a later date, you can purchase the muffler section separately.
Aluminised or Stainless Steel Option?
The ‘Aluminised’ option is a coating for the mild steel, inside & out. Manta have a 2 year warranty on this but we typically expect an exhaust to last a lot longer. Still has the same Manta build quality
-Stainless is the premium option from Manta, they are the highest quality for an off the shelf exhaust, fit & look great. Stainless steel will last much longer in corrosive environments, eg. beach driving
-There’s no difference between the sound of the two
3 Inch Exhaust Upgrade
The HDJ79 Landcruiser wagon, powered by the 1HD-FTE intercooled 4.2L turbo diesel, can easily be enhanced through the fitment of a high-flow Manta 3″ mandrel-bent exhaust system.
The restrictive nature of the standard exhaust system, which runs as small as 2” piping, effectively chokes the motor. By replacing the standard exhaust with a 3” mandrel-bent pipe there are numerous benefits realised; including improved low-down torque and responsiveness, reduced turbo lag, improved efficiency, and improved peak power.
The entire system is designed for easy fitment, following the same path as the standard exhaust system, and using all the same mounting points.
