80 SERIES SINGLE EXIT PERFORMANCE EXHAUST INSTALLATION
Torqit’s 80 Series Performance Exhaust is bolt together system designed for DIY fitment. Installing the Torqit system takes approximately one hour; however, if you are removing the factory system first, it may take an additional two hours. If your factory downpipe is rusted on, you risk breaking the exhaust studs on the turbocharger. For this reason, we recommend using an experienced fitter.
Torqit provides a complete fitting kit and instructions; you only require a basic socket set and spanners for installation.

Please note that this exhaust is not compatible with aftermarket side steps.

Thick Stainless Steel
Over its lifetime, your exhaust faces extreme temperatures, vibrations, and rough terrain. Torqit uses stainless steel up to 2mm thick to handle these harsh conditions and maintain structural strength even after bending. Being incredibly durable and difficult to crack, you can go off-road with peace of mind that your exhaust will last the distance.
As well as impacting the strength of an exhaust system, steel thickness affects the sound of the exhaust. You will find that the thinner the steel, the tinnier the note- click here to listen to the sound of cheap vs. quality stainless steel. Among Australia’s thickest mandrel bent systems, Torqit Performance Exhausts generate a deep note without a cabin drone.
304 Grade Stainless Steel
The highest quality steel used in exhaust systems is 304-grade stainless, the superior choice for strength, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance. In particular, the high percentage of chromium and nickel makes 304-grade stainless highly resistant to rust, stress, and harsh conditions such as high temperatures.
This rust resistance is essential if you tackle water crossings, back your vehicle into the water to unload your boat, or live by the coast. Over time, lower-grade steels such as 409-grade produce surface rust. In comparison, 304-grade steel will only brown when exposed to high temperatures and can always be polished back to the original finish.

Internal & External Welds
High-quality welds are essential to avoiding structural fatigue on joints, stopping cracks from forming, and preventing exhaust gas leaks. All Torqit Performance Exhausts are TIG welded internally and externally to reinforce the system for maximum strength. Although TIG welding is complex and more time-consuming than the usual MIG welding technique used on exhausts, it is a vital part of creating a premium system. As a result, Torqit’s welds are extremely precise, high quality and create a beautiful clean finish with no welding spatter.
Mandrel Bent System
Torqit’s Mandrel Bender uses a flexible mandrel rod to support the pipe internally and prevent crinkling as it’s bent. As a result, this provides a smooth and constant diameter, maintains structural integrity and thickness, improves exhaust flow, and reduces back pressure. Detailed programming replicates the path of each exhaust produced and guarantees 100% accurate fitment. Check out the Torqit Mandrel Bender in action.
Double Braided Flex Bellow
Flex bellows are an exhaust flex joint designed to absorb excess movement and vibrations on the vehicle’s chassis. This prevents strain on the exhaust system, stops cracks from forming, and caters for slight adjustments when aligning and fastening the exhaust flanges.
Torqit’s flex bellows are made from 304-grade stainless steel for superior strength compared to the commonly used 409-grade stainless steel. The double braided design reinforces the bellow to prevent gas escaping, reduce deterioration from heat and gases, and increase the longevity and performance of your exhaust system.
