Did you follow the original exhaust routing?
Also what did you do for the turbo output flange.

Did you eliminate the muffler or replace it with something else?

Well, I can't say for sure because it didn't have the factory exhaust but I'll say it is close. I bought a 3 in stainless down pipe from Factorydirect4X4. I forgot to mention, the exhaust itself is stainless too.

Factorydirect4X4 is great if you live in Oz. Shipping it to North America would be very expensive.
I kept the standard exhaust. Pressure tests showed that almost all the restriction was in the standard muffler Toyota used. It appeared to be the same highly restrictive muffler used on gasoline vehicles. I replaced the muffler with a 'glass pack' flow through muffler and significantly reduced exhaust pressure and achieved similar power improvements and no objectionable noise. On engines with a turbo no muffler is required, the turbo 'eats' most of the noise.

What was the total price in your hands?
Hello Doughood,
Could you mention what engine you have in your Troopie please?

I just looked back at my receipts and the total for the down pipe in US$ was 184.57
The materials were $350 and $260 for labor.

It is a 12HT. I got it out of an HJ62 donor vehicle in Compton, CA. He imported all kinds of stuff and it had been sitting a while. Total rust bucket but I scavenged all of the drive train.
