Hey all,

I really need some help regarding my exhaust.. I currently have a 3inch BOS importing dump pipe which did connect to the exhaust which i have posted in the pictures below (4.5inch tip). Due to EPA i took off the catback and just replaced it with the stock system without changing the dump pipe in order to clear.

I was just wondering if you guys could point me in the right direction as to how and who could modify my exhaust to make it a reasonable dB without losing too much performance as it is way too loud at the moment.

One more thing, ever since i got my new dump pipe installed this crackling sound has started.. it has been coming from underneath the car. Used to happen a little bit when i had the stock dump on but now it has gotten worse and i cant seem to get rid of it. It comes when im accelerating at low revs and when i take my foot off the accelerator.. Anyone have any idea what it could be?

Thanks in advance guys.

Alan.

Resonator/muffler or move to qld :D

Is the noise more rattling or what? have tried to replicate the sound at idle with bonnet up to see where the noise might be coming from? Could be a number of things leaking gasket, loose nut/bolt, wastegate not firm up against the housing, contact between heat shield and dump pipe etc.

Its more of a crackling sound than a rattle.. Lifted the bonnet up and gave it a rev and its coming from the right side of the engine where the turbo is but im not positive on what it could be. Im thinking it could be a leaking gasket or something.

Try grabbing the actuator rod with pliers and pulling towards the front of the car, sometimes the actuator can loose a bit of tension and make a similar noise. Also check everything first because the last thing you want to do is go to all the effort of taking the turbo off to find the gasket is not the problem.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
