Manta Performance Exhaust Kit for Toyota Land Cruiser VDJ79 Series 4.5L V8 Dual Cab
How This Exhaust Kit Transforms Your VDJ79 Series
The Manta Performance Exhaust Kit is purpose-built for the Toyota Land Cruiser VDJ79 Series 4.5L V8 Dual Cab (2012–2016, non/Pre-DPF). By replacing the restrictive factory exhaust, this system helps unlock the true potential of your 1VD V8 turbo diesel—delivering improved power, torque, and a commanding exhaust note. Whether you’re building a touring rig, a workhorse, or a dedicated off-roader, this kit is designed for owners who demand more from their Land Cruiser in both performance and sound.
What the Manta Exhaust Kit Does for Your Land Cruiser
Factory exhaust systems on the VDJ79 are designed for emissions and noise control, often at the expense of performance. The Manta kit addresses this by:
Reducing back pressure for faster turbo spool and improved throttle response
Supporting up to 15% typical power gains and improved torque delivery (results may vary by vehicle and configuration)
Enhancing fuel efficiency, with many owners reporting up to 1–2L/100km reductions
Delivering a deeper, more purposeful exhaust note that matches the V8’s character
Turbo-back systems without catalytic converters are available for off-road use, allowing maximum flow and sound for those who need it.
Choosing the Right Configuration: Single vs Twin Exit, 3" vs 4" Pipe
This Manta kit is available in several configurations to suit your build and driving style:
Single Exit: Traditional look, slightly quieter, and often preferred for touring or those seeking a subtle appearance.
Twin Exit: More aggressive styling and sound, ideal for those who want their Land Cruiser to stand out.
3" Pipe: Balanced upgrade for most applications—suitable for daily driving, towing, and moderate performance builds.
4" Pipe: Maximum flow and sound, best for high-output builds or off-road rigs where performance is the priority. Note: 4" turbo-back systems without cats are for off-road use only.
Choosing between these options depends on your goals: if you want a noticeable but refined upgrade, 3" single exit is a popular choice. For maximum sound and performance, the 4" twin exit turbo-back is the go-to for off-roaders and enthusiasts.
Where This Upgrade Makes a Real Difference
The Manta VDJ79 Series exhaust kit is ideal for:
Owners who tow heavy loads and need stronger mid-range torque
Tourers and expedition vehicles seeking better fuel economy and reliability
Off-roaders who want improved throttle response and a more aggressive exhaust note
Anyone frustrated by the muted sound and sluggish response of the factory system
By reducing heat and back pressure, this upgrade also supports engine longevity—especially important for vehicles facing harsh Australian or global conditions.
