Anyone thinking about upgrading the exhaust or do you think it's a waste of money.

[Area 51]

Has this exhaust been tested on a dyno yet to confirm no gains?

On a new or new-ish vehicle keeping the rpms down and rate of rise on loading and throttle is critical.
Ther HP gain might happen up[ higher in the rev range, useless. The torque curve will rise up as well, useless.
You will never feel or gian anything with a few horsepower where you'll never use it.
Toque moves the vehicle, accelerates the vehicle, HP maintains speed.
It sound and a good replacement when necessary.

NYTOP Axle Dump Exhaust for 2024+ Land Cruiser

2024-Current Lexus GX550/Toyota Land Cruiser (Prado/LC250) Titanium Axle Dump Exhaust. Fits all trims. Our GX550/LC250 Axle Dump Exhaust is made with 3 inch diameter titanium tubing. The exhaust replaces the factory rear (axle back) section of the exhaust, providing extra clearance for off-road...

Wow, pricy! Would be broken-hearted with this titanium tailpiece and it became mangled off-roading...

Videos don’t do justice in reproducing sound accurately. But the stock exhaust sounds better to me. And it doesn’t look like it offers much more clearance, if any.

Would be really difficult to do, it is an axel dump, so it is tucked up in, the spare sits lower, the bumper sits lower, and it’s above the axel which would take any blow.

That’s a deeper note for sure. I like it.

I notice the Toyota Genuine Accessories has part numbers now for stainless steel exhausts. PTRO3-60240 (Center Pipe) and PTR03-60243 (tail pipe). MSRPs are US$880 for center and $480 for tail.

@D-mac can u only install the tail pipe (PTR03-60243) on the factory OEM exhaust muffler (by replacing the Factory OEM tail pipe and not installing the PTR03-60240 Centre Pipe/muffler) ?

Can never make a 4 banger sound good. It will just sound rice af imo.

I don't know why Toyota would sell them as separate parts if you had to buy both? I am sure a shop that does custom exhausts could install it any way you want.

Perhaps a silly quesion, but what do you hope to gain with a new exhaust system?

Its a sound thing, strictly the sound and all that it summons in certain people.

I’ve done it on two cars. All aftermarket exhausts drone. It’s a law of gravity. I’d very much recommend you find someone in your area who has installed one and ride around a bit with them.

This isn't correct, a properly tuned Helmholtz resonator installed with the exhaust prevents drone. I currently have two systems installed, one on my 40 series and one on my Tundra both with the resonator with absolutely zero drone.

Getting the proper resonator setup and tuned isn't easy but there are specialists out there that can do it and are great at doing so.

I will agree that almost all off the shelf aftermarket exhausts will more than likely have drone though.

What you seem to be saying is that you have two aftermarket exhausts that both drone, but you installed a device that helps counter the drone.

Makes sense to me, but doesn’t make my point incorrect. It probably supports my point in the sense that a company sprung up with a mitigation product.

 

[Bad1975]

No both of my exhausts were made with the tuned resonator as part of the exhaust because that is what they specialize in (no drone aftermarket free flowing exhaust systems).

The OEM Toyota exhaust is using the exact same tech and there is a bolt on aftermarket kit that claims to have done this as well for LC250.

All exhaust would drone without a resonator at certain RPM levels. Most aftermarket manufacturers just don't care to add a resonator because people will buy it for the tone and nothing else drone be damned! OEMs almost always have resonators or an excessively large muffler because the mass of consumers don't want a drone or to hear the exhaust.

Take the OEM resonator (rear looking muffler) off and it will do the same.
