- Heavy-duty brackets, solid hangers, and thick flange plates for secure, vibration-free mounting and bombproof reliability in tough conditions

- Designed and manufactured in Australia to handle extreme heat, dust, heavy towing, off-road work, and everyday abuse
Benefits You'll Feel on Every Job
- Reduced Turbo Lag & Stronger Torque – Faster spool-up and massive low-end pull for loaded starts, towing trailers, or powering through sand/mud
- Improved Throttle Response & Power – Noticeable gains across the rev range – frees up the 1HD-FTE's potential without needing a tune (though it pairs great with one)
- Better Fuel Economy – Real-world improvements reported from freer breathing – saves diesel on long hauls or daily work runs
- Deeper, Throatier V8 Rumble – Tough, purposeful exhaust note on acceleration, but controlled at cruise – sounds mean without annoying drone

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this exhaust designed for the 4.2L 1HZ/1HD-FTE 79 Series engine?
Yes. This system is precision-engineered for the 79 Series platform powered by the legendary 4.2L engine (1998–2007). Whether you are running the naturally aspirated 1HZ or the turbocharged 1HD-FTE, our exhaust design is optimized to enhance the specific power delivery characteristics of these iconic engines.
How does a 3-inch system improve the 4.2L's performance?
The 4.2L is a workhorse, but it is notoriously choked by the factory exhaust system. By upgrading to a full 3-inch mandrel-bent system, you significantly reduce backpressure. This results in much better turbo response for 1HD-FTE models and allows the 1HZ engine to breathe more effectively, leading to improved fuel economy and reduced Exhaust Gas Temperatures (EGTs) during heavy work.
Will this exhaust fit my ute if I have a custom long-range fuel tank?
Our 79 Series exhaust follows the factory path to ensure maximum compatibility with the vast majority of common aftermarket accessories, including standard long-range fuel tanks. If you have a highly customized or non-standard fuel tank setup, we recommend checking your clearances, but this system is designed to integrate seamlessly with most standard outback touring configurations.
Is the tone of the exhaust too loud for an older 79 Series?
No. We have specifically tuned this system to bring out the classic, deep exhaust note of the 4.2L engine without introducing interior drone. You get an aggressive, purposeful sound under load, but at highway speeds, it remains well-behaved and comfortable for long-distance touring.
Is this system durable enough for serious off-road use?
Absolutely. These systems are built for the harshest Australian conditions. Using high-grade materials and heavy-duty, laser-cut hangers, our exhaust is designed to handle the intense vibrations of corrugated tracks and the rigors of off-road driving. When you choose our stainless steel option, you also gain industry-leading resistance to corrosion from mud and salt air, ensuring this is a long-term upgrade for your vehicle.
