DPF-Back Explained Performance, legality & warranty info
-
Why DPF-Back?
The 300 Series Landcruiser runs a diesel particulate filter (DPF) as part of its factory emissions system. A full exhaust upgrade that removes or bypasses the DPF is not road-legal in Australia for on-highway use — and will void your Toyota warranty.
A DPF-back exhaust solves this by only replacing the section of exhaust pipe behind the DPF. Your factory filter stays in place, your emissions equipment remains untouched, and your dealer warranty remains valid.
It's the correct approach for 300 Series owners who want real performance gains without the compliance headache. The Torqit system bolts directly to the back of your factory DPF using three-bolt flanges — no cutting, no welding, no drama.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Torqit DPF Back Exhaust for 300 Series Landcruiser
Will this exhaust void my Landcruiser warranty?
No. Because this system bolts onto the back of your factory diesel particulate filter (DPF), your DPF and all emissions equipment remain completely untouched. Your Toyota new vehicle warranty stays valid.
If a dealer attempts to void your warranty based on a DPF-back exhaust, they need to demonstrate that the exhaust caused the specific fault — which, for a properly installed system of this quality, they won't be able to do. When in doubt, ask your dealer in writing before fitment.
Is a DPF-back exhaust legal for a 300 Series Landcruiser?
Yes. A DPF-back exhaust leaves the factory DPF and all emissions control equipment in place — it only replaces the pipe and muffler section behind it. This is the legally compliant approach to exhaust upgrades in Australia.
Full exhaust systems that remove or bypass the DPF are a different story — they're generally not road legal for on-highway use. If you want performance gains without the compliance headache, DPF-back is the correct choice for the 300 Series.
How long does installation take?
Around one hour on a flat driveway. The Torqit system comes in four bolt-together sections with three-bolt flanges — no welding, no hoist, no specialist tools required. You'll need a basic socket set and ideally a second set of hands to hold the pipe in position while you tighten up.
Torqit's heavy-duty bracketry makes lining everything up straightforward. If you've done basic mechanical work before, this is comfortably within DIY territory.
What diameter is this exhaust?
The pipe runs at 3.5 inches (89mm) diameter throughout, stepping up to a 4-inch tip at the exit.
Stepping up from the factory exhaust diameter increases exhaust gas flow — which is what delivers the EGT reduction and the efficiency improvements you'll see on long runs, particularly when towing or loaded.
What's the sound like — is there cabin drone?
Deep and subtle — not loud, not aggressive. The two stainless steel resonators in this system are tuned to give the V6 twin turbo a noticeable, satisfying exhaust note without the cabin drone that ruins long-distance driving in cheaper single-resonator setups.
If you're doing regular highway kilometres, you won't find this exhaust fatiguing. Under acceleration it has genuine presence; at cruise it quietens right down.
Does this exhaust fit with the spare tyre?
Yes. The system has been designed to work around the 300 Series' spare tyre — no clearance issues, no modifications required. This is a common concern with aftermarket exhausts on the LC300 and Torqit have engineered around it.
How long is delivery — when will I receive it?
This exhaust is made to order — allow up to 7 business days for dispatch. Once dispatched, delivery times depend on your location.
If you're working to a deadline — a specific trip, a service date, or a fitment appointment — contact us before ordering and we'll confirm current lead times.
What's included in the kit?
The Torqit DPF Back Exhaust kit includes four pipe sections that bolt together to form the complete system — over axle pipe, mid section, resonators, and the 4" tip. All flanges, brackets, and hardware are included.
Nothing else required — this is a complete bolt-on kit. The over-axle pipe design makes the install easier than comparable systems.
