If u want full exhaust, SMT in makati can make 1 for you. Intake (drop-in) try Car Shack in Makati.

sir, what are the advantages of upgrading the full exhaust? and how much would it cost?

[IMm29]

Upside: Better response. Bigger downpipe makes turbo spool quicker taking away turbo lag.

Downside: will probably get a bit louder than stock.

Oh, get a DP Chip too. Hehe!

naka dp chip nako last april ko kinuha nasa setting 5. ok naman ang hatak pero after 5k kilometers napansin ko bumagal. pinalitan ko ng fuel filter bumalik naman sa dati. 2 weeks ago nag 20 inch rims ako with 55 series tires.

kailangan ba sir palitan yung setting?

[IMm29]

I think your tires have some effect coz you went with 55 series. Usually it's 50 series for 20s to be within stock range.

The full exhaust mod will allow you to go up to setting 7 or 8. At least in my case.

You have the 1kz-te on your 120 right?

yes sir 1kz engine model. you're right there is a slight difference in the initial take-off. feels heavier so i need to press the gas pedal a little more. on the positive note series 55 tires have a similar ride with the stocks. fyi though i have ome shocks installed.

sir, how much would the exhaust upgrade cost me at smt?

[IMm29]

Ah really? Didnt notice much difference with the 50 series tires vs stock. Also on OMEs. Anyhow, have u also replaced the air filter?

SMT's black iron full 3inch exhaust is about p20k++. i forget how much exactly. For the exhaust note, type 'smt prado' in youtube.

thanks will check it out at youtube.

yes i already did. actually i was advised by chris pangilinan from berrima diesel to replace the air filter every 5thousand kms. i guess its s.o.p. which i ignored at first but having experience a change in the acceleration it prompted me to change the air filter immediately which from now on i will strictly follow.

regarding the 55 series vs. 50 series, maybe i guess the ride for both is pretty much the same. the reason i chose 55's is primarily due to my driving notably how i drive over potholes, etc. to me i guess 55's are more durable and resistant to road blemishes.

sir, any idea where i can purchase a 120 body kit?

[IMm29]

It's easier to just replace the stock air filter every 5t kms than to clean an aftermarket one. Based on berrima's tests on an LC, wala daw naman gains yung aftermarket type of drop-in sa stock element. I went with unifilter coz of feedback from pradopoint that it filters better.

Body kits? Never asked sorry.

Good day Sir, My brake pads is already due for replacement. any suggestion on what brand to replace or just stick to toyota brake pads. Also, is their store selling Toyata prado parts cheaper than casa? Thanks in advance.

[IMm29]

How much are OEM brake pads nowadays? I went with Bendix replacement pads. The GCT (entry level) pads - parang P1K+ - don't have that good a bite for something as big as the 120, but the 4x4/SUV version - around P2.5K+ - are biting ok. I think these are good replacements for the OEM pads.

Price is the upside, but brake noise is the downside. Mas maingay (high pitched squeal) yung Bendix.

If you're ok with the OEM price, I suggest you stick with stock. If you want to experiment and will be ok with the noisier brakes, the 4x4/SUV Bendix is a good alternative.

On a side note, took the 120 for a spin last Saturday night. Italian tune-up on a Saturday night.

Went to Alabang and back via the Skyway. On the way south, was running with an Evo 10. Too bad he wasn't in the mood to play (no challenge, just an old diesel Prado, I suppose). On the way back, was leading my friend on a Vios. I was only registering 170 kph (lost my 180 kph top end. Mukhang needs more exercise) but he was already at 180 kph.

I think I will have my fuel filter replaced and air filter cleaned in an attempt to get the 10 kph back.

Ok sir, but I just bought the OEM brake pads (Front) for safety reason . It cost around 5k+(pair). Also, had my dash board repaired at seatmate. May I know sir what Brand and type of diesel your using sir? and do we have a prado club here? Thank you very much sir for your reply.

Ah I see. The Bendix 4x4/SUV pads bite quite well. They're comparable to stock. So you can probably consider them in the future. They're just noisier though. But no effect on braking performance.

I use different brands of diesel -- Caltex Diesel with Techron, Petron Diesel Max and Shell. Rarely, if ever, do I use the higher end diesels. Tried them before and didn't register any seat of the pants gains, kaya back to regular programming.

As far as I know we do not have a Prado Club locally. If you want more ideas on what to do with your Prado, you can also check out PradoPoint - Toyota Prado 4x4 Landcruiser Forum.
