How to straight pipe a D4D Fortuner/Hilux. Part 1 

Hey Warren. Thanx for the comment. Yes when i heard that droneing i knew i would not love it and i wasnt keen on wearing ear plugs or headphones when driving the van. So a plan needed to be made. If you have insta, look me up and send a clip of how your van sounds now. Im really intrested to hear what it sounds like.

Thank you so much Cody. Apreciate the compliments bru.

Awesome friend, now your feul economy is going to go down, haha, you'll be driving after that sound. Enjoy. Glad i could help.

@@4x4ViewFinder ek kan al klaar n groot verskil sien en hy klink sommer ook beter Dabkie vir die goeie raad en videos

Grootste plesier meneer, geniet jou bakkie. Kort voor lank gaan jy hom nog "straight pipe" laat weet my hoe dit gaan. Groete meneer.

Hi there Craig. Well, it can be a whole lot of reasons why the vehicle wont start, most common reason is a deteriorated or wrong battery installed in your vehicle. Both will seem fine when you test them, but wont have enough CCA Cold Cranking Amps to start the vehicle. Bad Glow plugs will cause your vehicle to have very bad feul economy and will idle really rough, sometimes even smoke. But yes it could cause it not to start, but you will have a bunch of other issues before you get there though. Without some more info its hard to try and narrow down the cause. There are a bunch of other reasons why your van wont start buddy.

@4x4ViewFinder after I bought my d4d fortuner I put a new battery in and did a service.

If you do not have the right rated battery with the right CCAs your van will struggle to start and the colder the tempratures the worse it gets. You can potentially hurt the starter as well. But before you buy another battery just see if you can find someone with a similar van and ask to switch batteries and see if it changes anything.

@4x4ViewFinder hi I found out 2 day that the starter is not that good and that 2x injectors are faulty

Im glad you could determine the issues. At least now you have a game plan on what to do. Many happy miles.

My pleasure bru. Hope it helped you. Keep safe.

If it does you have engine problems Rodney. The exhaust does not prevent smoke, it just quites the noise from the engine. If your car did not smoke before you take the exhaust off, then it wont smoke after.

Thanks sir,got a 2012 Fortuner 2010 Hilux ...also a 2007 Fortuner which had no cat and it sounds awesome...so I thinking of decating the 2012/2010 ones ...

Sure, there wont be a massive diffrence in the sound. The turbo may sound a bit more prominent but thats about it. If you take the box out, that is when these vehicles sound amazing. There is no other vehicle that sounds the same.

Hi brother. Yes you can. In part 2 i show you how to use your catalytic converters box to make yourself one.

@@4x4ViewFinder i did muffler delete but the sound still the same..huhu

Yes, but you can make a resonator yourself to make it sound alot more refined. Watch part 2 of the video. You wil hear what a huge diffrence it makes.

@@4x4ViewFinder where can i locate the catalytic in my 2.5L D4d engine...it only have muffler, no catalytic that i can see..help me

Brother i tried finding out about the 2.5 and it does not have one because the emissions are below the government regulations. So unfortunately you wil have go to a exhaust shop and buy a resonator or have it fitted.

Thank you so much brother. Will do my best. Keep safe.

@@4x4ViewFinder alright brother, cheers mate
