FJ80 (3FE) BRE Exhaust Kit

[mobalatero]

One of my down pipes completely cracked after hitting a huge pothole on a trail. Figured my exhaust system has received enough patches so time for a whole new system.

Has anyone tried out this BRE exhaust “direct-fit” kit from magnaflow with any luck?Other option would go full custom and simplify the system. But $658 for a direct-fit? Too good to be true? I’m guessing I’d be spending way more than that to get something fully custom done.

I have one for my FZ, but decent enough quality products for the price point.

I am currently looking for a new exhaust for my '91 80. I'd be concerned that the aluminized steel it's made out of won't stand up well to winter driving and salty roads. Maybe my concern is misplaced? 100% won't last as long as the OEM stainless exhaust. If I can't find anything like this in stainless, then I might pull the trigger. Update this thread if you end up getting it!

You are correct, aluminized steel is trash. They do this so that you keep buying exhausts every 3-4 years. I have had my system for over two years now, but it isn't driven much so it has held up well. On my 3rd gen 4Runners my go-to system is a Chinese made "Northeastern Exhaust". It's made from stainless steel and material quality is quite good. May be worth bombarding them with e-mails until they make a system.

just get an exhaust shop to build you one.
