Performance exhaust systems are one of the most impactful ways to increase the performance, airflow, and even the efficiency of your Toyota diesel. We would know!
As Australia’s top specialists for performance upgrades and tuning services for diesel Toyotas, Just Autos provide top-tier performance exhaust system upgrades for popular Toyotas like the 70-79 Series and 200 Series Land Cruiser, the Land Cruiser Prado, and the Hilux. In fact, we have even developed our own performance exhaust systems specifically designed for the new 300 Series Land Cruiser!
Looking to maximise the performance and power of your own Toyota UTE or SUV? Here are 3 benefits of a performance exhaust system you simply can’t ignore.
#1 – Performance Exhaust Systems Provide Better Airflow
A key benefit of a performance exhaust system is the increased airflow that it provides to your engine. Better airflow to and from your engine is a key component of not only a healthy engine, but one that provides better performance. This is especially true for larger vehicles with bigger engines like the 70-79 Series, 200 Series Land Cruiser and Prado models.
Airflow is crucial when it comes to the function of your engine. Diesel engines need to have the right amount of air mixed in with their fuel to achieve optimal performance, power, and efficiency. With a performance exhaust system, your Toyota diesel engine will be able to maintain the perfect ratio of air and fuel for improved performance.
How is a Performance Exhaust System Different to a Factory-Fitted Exhaust?
The main difference between a performance exhaust system and factory-fitted exhaust is the size of the components. Performance exhaust systems are larger and have better flow characteristics than stock exhausts, allowing for more air to move through them with less restriction.
This increased airflow not only improves your engine’s performance but also helps reduce back pressure from the turbo charger, leading to improved fuel efficiency and power outputs.
#2 – Enjoy More Power and Torque
n addition to improved airflow, performance exhaust systems also give your Toyota diesel engine a boost in power and torque. This is achieved by improving the volume and velocity of both the incoming and outgoing exhaust gases. The result? Your Toyota UTE or SUV will be able to generate more horsepower and may do so without sacrificing fuel economy – it all depends on how heavy your foot is!
Can a Performance Exhaust System Provide Better Fuel Economy?
The short answer is yes, but it depends. If your Toyota diesel already has a factory-fitted exhaust and you upgrade to a performance system, then it is likely that you will experience improved fuel economy.
However, if your engine is not running optimally due to worn out components or inadequate maintenance, then the benefits of upgrading to a performance exhaust system may be limited. To ensure you get the most out of your new performance exhaust system, be sure to have it installed by experienced professionals like Just Autos who are experts in Toyota diesel tuning and performance upgrades.
We can run diagnostics on your engine and its overall performance to provide insight on what kind of improvement you’ll see from a performance exhaust system, as well as let you know if other changes may be necessary to achieve your performance goals.
Improvements in fuel economy also depend on your driving habits. Diesel engines are workhorses and thrive in optimal driving environments. Long-haul drives may see significant improvements in fuel economy but towing excessive loads may diminish the increase you see. What’s more, driving short distances or through peak-hour traffic may negate any improvements that come from the benefits of a performance exhaust system.

#3 – Reduce Backpressure
Backpressure is something you should consider when looking to improve your Toyota’s performance and is one of the biggest advantages to installing a performance exhaust system.
Just Autos performance exhaust systems are designed to reduce the amount of backpressure your Toyota diesel engine is exposed to. This will help reduce wear and tear on the engine, as well as increase power and torque. It also helps with fuel economy since there is less resistance for your engine when it comes to pushing out exhaust gases.
What is Backpressure and How is it Caused?
Backpressure is the force created when your engine’s exhaust gases are forced back into the combustion chamber. It occurs naturally and can be caused by a number of factors, but excessive amounts of backpressure are most commonly by an inefficient stock exhaust system that restricts airflow.
When you have reduced backpressure, your Toyota diesel engine will experience improved fuel economy and increased power and torque. This is why performance exhaust systems are so popular among performance enthusiasts – they provide substantial improvements in every area!
