Manta 3-inch Stainless Steel Exhaust System suitable for Toyota LandCruiser 78 Series HDJ78 Troop Carrier
Manta 3″ mandrel bent exhaust system in stainless steel, suitable for the Toyota LandCruiser 78 Series HDJ78 Troop Carrier with the 1HD-FTE 4.2L intercooled turbo diesel. It replaces the standard exhaust, which runs piping as small as 2″ and chokes the motor. We supply and fit these as the best sounding, best fitting option for the Toyota LandCruiser 78 Series Troop Carrier, and they free up the 1HD-FTE.
🚗 Suitable for:
- Toyota LandCruiser 78 Series HDJ78 Troop Carrier, 4.2L 1HD-FTE intercooled turbo diesel, factory turbo
- Toyota LandCruiser 78 Series HZJ78 with an HD Automotive turbo kit or a CT26 turbo conversion
📦 What’s Included:
- 1x Manta 3″ stainless steel exhaust system, mandrel bent
- Supplied as a complete kit with the gaskets and bolts required
- Choose your noise level: quiet (muffler), medium (resonator) or loud (straight pipe)
🔧 Fitment Details:
- Follows the same path as the standard exhaust and uses all the same mounting points
- Suits the factory turbo 1HD-FTE and bolts directly to common turbo upgrades such as GTurbo and UFI
- Manta rate their systems as LOUD, MEDIUM and QUIET. Medium has a hotdog resonator, which keeps the sound from being too droney. Loud is a straight pipe with no resonator or muffler. Quiet has a muffler
- If you want to go quieter at a later date, you can buy the muffler section separately
⚙️ Why Choose Manta:
- 3″ mandrel bent pipe improves low-down torque and responsiveness, reduces turbo lag, and improves efficiency and peak power
- We find medium is a safe bet on the factory turbocharged 1HD-FTE. It unlocks the famous 1HD-FTE sound, and with a resonator and a turbocharger in the system we would not call it too loud or droney
- Stainless steel is the premium option from Manta. It is the highest quality you will get in an off the shelf exhaust, it fits and looks great, and it lasts much longer in corrosive environments such as beach driving
- Manta is Australia’s largest exhaust manufacturer
❓ FAQs:
Q: Which noise level should I choose?
A: Medium is the safe bet. The hotdog resonator keeps the drone down and you still get the 1HD-FTE sound. Loud is a straight pipe with no resonator or muffler. Quiet adds a muffler.
Q: Will it bolt up to an upgraded turbo?
A: Yes. It suits the factory turbo and bolts directly to common turbo upgrades such as GTurbo and UFI.
Q: What is the difference between aluminised and stainless steel?
A: Aluminised is a coating on mild steel, inside and out, and Manta give it a 2 year warranty. Stainless is the premium option and lasts much longer in corrosive environments such as beach driving. There is no difference in sound between the two.
