Should I replace my Exhaust?

Post by Tyrone D4D »

Hey guys.

I have a 2006 Toyota Hilux 3.0 D4D with 171000kms and still going very strong.Every year I buy myself a Xmas gift and I have thought about replacing the exhaust on the Hilux.Does the 06 models come out with a Cat?What's the positives and negatives to replacing the exhaust?

Not too sure if they came out with a cat, I would presume they did.

Positive would be lower temps on your exhaust manifold and turbo, less likely of getting heat related damage.
Engine breaths easier, minor power gains, some fuel economy increase... That would be my guess.

Die 2006 modelle het nie uitgekom met 'n DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) nie. Geen D4D het 'n CAT in nie maar die latere modelle het wel 'n DPF in.

Met CAT bedoel jy catalytic converter?
Ek is redelik seker die d4d's het CAT's in waarmee hulle uitkom.

Gou op google gekyk, en op ons forum is daar n ander thread:

Re: Removing catalytic converter
Wonderlik dankie. Myne is ook nou oppad uit!

Omdat ander manne daarna verwys as 'n CAT maak nie die DPF 'n cat nie. Die 2006 modelle het nie 'n CAT gehad nie. Die latere modelle van omtrent 2007 af (ek is nie seker nie) maar die eerstes het nie gehad nie. Die wat wel op het, het nie Lambda sensors in wat vir jou 'n enjin fout gaan uitgooi as jy die DPF uithaal, soos met van die nuwer petrol modelle gebeur as jy die cat uithaal nie.

Die DPF vang die roet op en dit word so nou en dan uitgebrand. As joune wel die DPF inhet, wat ek betwyfel, laat dit uithaal.
