Everything needed for the DIY 4x4 enthusiast — simply bolt on the PPD Performance exhaust and follow the instructions to remap your Holden Colorado.
You’ll be able to choose your tune type after receiving the remapper device.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
The PPD Performance Remapper is locked to a single vehicle and cannot be reused on multiple cars.
A DPF-DELETE IS NOT LEGAL FOR ROAD USE. FOR A LEGAL SYSTEM, USE OUR 'DPF-BACK' SYSTEM.
REQUIRES A PC TO SEND FILES. NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MAC SYSTEMS.
PPD Performance Exhaust Specifications:
3" 304-grade stainless steel tubing (1.5mm thick)
Mandrel bent for smooth exhaust flow
TIG welded for precision and strength
Stainless steel flanges and CNC-machined turbo connection
2-bolt flange design for direct bolt-on to factory or aftermarket DPF-back systems
Includes gaskets and all required mounting hardware
This proven design delivers serious performance gains for the Holden Colorado Exhaust platform, making it one of the best Holden 4x4 Exhausts available.
Which version do I need?
Catalytic Converter Option:
A Catalytic Convert (Cat) is an emissions device which is required for road legality. This system can be optioned a cat, mimicing the factory setup. The catalytic converters reduces soot and smell from the exhaust system.
High Flow: Required for road legality, marginally quieter than the non-catted systems, but less soot / emissions and still an aggressive note. Recommended.
None: For off road use only. This is a complete 3" straight-through setup. Slightly higher performance output due to higher flow, louder and cheaper.
Muffler Option:
None: Our highest performing and loudest option.
Box Muffler: Our quietest option, still uses a high-flow design (internal straight pipe with perforations) but with a fibreglass packing to ensure the least volume possible, without sacrificing performance.
