Best Exhaust for 79 Series LandCruiser with DPF: The 2025 Buyer's Guide

Quick Answer: The best DPF-equipped aftermarket exhausts for the Toyota Landcruiser 79 Series V8 1VD-FTV (September 2016 to late 2024) are: (1) Manta Pro 3-inch turbo-back system ($1,800 to $2,800 fitted), (2) Redback 3-inch system ($1,500 to $2,400), (3) GSL Fab custom-fabricated ($2,200 to $3,500), (4) Outback Hi-Flow ($1,600 to $2,500). All retain the factory DPF (DPF deletion is illegal for road use in Australia) and improve exhaust flow, exhaust gas temperatures and throttle response while maintaining road-legal status. Typical gains: 5-15 kW and 30-60 Nm at the engine with ECU tune.

The DPF-equipped 79 Series V8 has restricted factory exhaust flow that limits throttle response and exhaust gas temperature management. A quality aftermarket exhaust improves both while keeping the vehicle road legal. This guide covers the main suppliers.
