Frequently Asked Questions
Is this exhaust compatible with the 2H or 12H-T engines in the 60 Series?
Yes. We have engineered this system to suit the 60 Series platform perfectly, whether you are running the legendary naturally aspirated 2H or the factory turbocharged 12H-T. The piping and flange configurations are optimized to improve gas flow for both setups, helping to unlock better responsiveness and thermal efficiency regardless of which engine is under the bonnet.
What performance gains can I expect from a 3-inch system on a 60 Series?
The 60 Series exhaust is notoriously restrictive by modern standards. By upgrading to a high-flow 3-inch mandrel-bent system, you drastically reduce backpressure. This allows the engine to breathe freely, leading to quicker turbo spooling (if equipped), reduced EGTs (Exhaust Gas Temperatures) under load, and a smoother, more efficient power delivery that makes the 60 Series feel significantly more capable.
Will this exhaust drone at highway speeds in my 60 Series?
No. We have meticulously tuned our muffler design for the 60 Series to ensure the classic deep diesel rumble is present without the high-frequency interior drone. You’ll enjoy an aggressive, purposeful sound when you put your foot down, but the cabin remains quiet and comfortable for long-distance highway touring.
Is this system a direct fit, or do I need to weld it?
It is a complete, bolt-on replacement kit. We provide all necessary high-tensile hardware, gaskets, and heavy-duty, laser-cut hangers that align perfectly with the factory mounting points. It is a straightforward job that you can complete in your own workshop using basic hand tools—no cutting or welding required.
Why is stainless steel recommended for a 60 Series build?
The 60 Series is a classic, and keeping it on the road requires durable components. Stainless steel offers industry-leading resistance to rust and corrosion caused by mud, water, and salt. Choosing stainless steel is a "fit and forget" investment that protects your vehicle's underbody and ensures your performance gains and exhaust sound stay consistent for years to come.
