Practical exhaust advice, build stories and workshop updates from Oak Flats Muffler Men.
Manta's flagship Y62 system reviewed: ceramic coated extractors, high flow cats and 3 inch stainless from the heads to the tailpipe, plus the drone question owners actually ask about.
The one road legal system in Manta's Fortuner range: a 3 inch stainless DPF-back for the 2.8L 1GD, what it changes, what it honestly does not, and the warranty maths.
A full stainless system with extractors for a 75 kW Jimny is a big call. What the Manta XL kit actually delivers, what it costs, and who should spend the money.
Manta's ceramic coated 1 7/8 inch extractors and high flow cats for the 2015 on Mustang GT: what changes at the source, the labour reality, and why this is the stage to do properly.
Australian made twin 3 inch stainless for the right hand drive Silverado 6.2L V8, reviewed in its loud configuration, including the cab boom question to answer before you order.
What the Redback Extreme Duty range actually gives you for the money — 409 stainless construction, 10mm flanges, modular sound sections — and the warranty fine print to know before you buy.
The two most common Hilux exhaust jobs we quote: Redback's 3-inch DPF-back for the 2.8L GD and the turbo-back for the older 3.0L D4D — fitment notes, pricing and what to expect.
Redback's newest Extreme Duty fitments step up to 3.5-inch pipework for the current crop of diesel utes and wagons — what's in the kits and which vehicles are covered.
Redback's street performance range keeps the V8 and six-cylinder Aussie classics breathing on a budget — aluminised steel, dual-skin mufflers and a deep tone without the drone.
Redback Extreme Duty kits come in three sound configurations and the wrong pick is the most common regret we hear. Here is how to choose based on how you actually drive.
A 304 stainless cannon with an electric valve inside: quiet for the school run, open for the weekend. What the XForce Varex actually is, what the valve needs from you, and what it costs fitted.
Pacemaker's twin 3 inch cat-back for the VE V8 is CNC mandrel-bent 409 stainless with double-skinned mufflers, built in Australia. Here is what it sounds like, who should pick the 2.5 instead, and the price straight.
The Safari V-Spec is the snorkel everything else gets compared to: Australian-made polyethylene, a water-separating air ram and a lifetime warranty. What it does, what it does not, and the part number trap on the N80.
Australian-built, rated to 3500kg towing with two 4500kg load-rated recovery points built into the bar itself. Where the TAG Recovery towbar earns its extra money over a standard bar, and where it does not.
The early D-MAX and RC Colorado shipped with throttle response you could time with a calendar. The Ultimate9 EVC fixes the pedal, not the engine, and being honest about that difference is the whole review.
Send the vehicle make, model, year, engine, current issue and the result you want so the workshop can scope the right repair, system or fabrication slot.
