Manta 3in Turbo Back Exhaust - Holden Colorado 7 RG 2.8L Duramax Turbo Diesel No DPF 2012-2016

The Colorado 7 is the wagon version of the RG, and it carries a family where the ute carries a tray - so the noise level matters more here than it does on the ute. A 3in turbo back wakes the 2.8L Duramax up and drops temperatures under load. Worth thinking about before you order, because you will be living in the cabin behind it.

Choosing your system

• Turbo Back with Cats — everything behind the turbo outlet, with a catalytic converter retained. The factory pipework right off the turbo is the biggest single restriction on a turbo diesel, so this is the change you feel.
• Turbo Back without Cats — everything behind the turbo with no catalytic converter. Off-road and competition use only.

The options without a catalytic converter are sold for off-road and competition use. Removing emissions equipment from a road-registered vehicle is not legal in any Australian state. If the vehicle is registered and driven on the road, choose an option that retains the cat or the DPF.

Aluminised or stainless

• Aluminised Steel — Manta's standard. Aluminium-silicon coated steel, pressed and mandrel-bent the same as the stainless, and it will give you years of service in normal conditions. Best value of the two.
• Stainless Steel — 409 stainless. Worth the jump if you live near the coast, spend time in mud and dust, or do river crossings. It will comfortably outlast the vehicle.

How loud do you want it

• Quiet — the most muffling Manta offers. Deeper and cleaner than factory, but still civil on a long highway run.
• Medium — a resonator in place of one of the mufflers. More note when you get into it, without the drone that ruins a road trip.
• Loud — straight through. The most aggressive of the three, and you will hear it at cruise.

Fitment

Holden Colorado 7 RG, 2.8L Duramax, 2012 to 2016. Bolts to the factory mounting points and uses the standard hangers — no cutting or welding.

3in pipe throughout, and every bend is mandrel-formed. A mandrel bend holds its full diameter around the corner instead of crushing down the way press-bent tube does, which is the whole point of fitting a bigger system in the first place.
