1GD-FTV Low Mount Tubular Exhaust Manifold — T304 Stainless Steel
Hilux N80 • Prado 150 • Fortuner — replace your restrictive factory cast manifold
⚠️ EGR delete is required — pair it with our N80 Hilux 1GD EGR delete plates. Other modifications such as shortening studs may also be required.
The factory 1GD-FTV cast iron manifold was designed for economy and emissions — not performance. Once you add a turbo upgrade, intercooler, exhaust or tune, it becomes the bottleneck. The PPRC low mount tubular manifold eliminates that restriction: better flow, lower EGTs, faster spool, and fully welded T304 stainless that won't crack like cast iron.
🔥 Why Upgrade From Factory Cast Iron?
- Lower exhaust gas temperatures — tubular design dissipates heat faster than cast iron; typically 10–30°C lower EGTs under sustained load (towing, highway)
- Faster turbo spool — optimised runner design reduces backpressure; noticeable in the 2,000–3,500 RPM mid-range
- Higher power potential — unlocks up to 5–15+ RWHP on tuned engines with supporting mods
- Proven durability — fully TIG-welded stainless won't crack like high-mileage factory cast manifolds
- Lighter — significantly less mass than factory cast iron
🚗 Vehicle Compatibility
- Toyota Hilux N80 — 1GD-FTV 2.8L turbo diesel (2015–2024), all variants
- Toyota Prado 150 — 1GD-FTV 2.8L (2015–2024), GDJ150/151/155
- Toyota Fortuner — 1GD-FTV 2.8L (2015–2024), all variants
Designed for standard turbo frames — factory-style and most aftermarket 1GD turbos. Running a custom or oversized frame? Contact us with your turbo model before ordering.

⚠️ Installation Notes
- EGR delete required — see our 1GD EGR delete plates; studs may need shortening depending on setup
- Replace consumables: new manifold gaskets, studs/bolts, and turbo gasket — don't reuse old hardware
- Supporting mods may be needed: intercooler pipe routing, heat shielding, and turbo oil/coolant line repositioning depending on your build

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this manifold fit my 1GD-FTV engine?
Yes — it fits all 1GD-FTV 2.8L turbo diesel engines in the Hilux N80 (2015+), Prado 150 (2015+), and Fortuner (2015+). It's designed for standard turbo frames, and an EGR delete is required.
Will it work with my aftermarket turbo?
Most aftermarket 1GD turbos use standard frames and fit perfectly. If you're running a custom or oversized turbo frame, contact us with your turbo model to confirm compatibility before ordering. For larger F44/F55/F66 frame turbos, see our 1GD cast exhaust manifold instead.
What are the benefits over the factory cast manifold?
Better exhaust flow, lower EGTs, faster turbo spool, lighter weight, better heat dissipation, and it won't crack like cast iron. The individual tubular runners optimise exhaust scavenging for improved turbo efficiency.
How much power will I gain?
On a stock engine, expect modest flow and response improvements. The real gains come paired with a turbo upgrade, intercooler, exhaust and tune — as part of a complete build, up to 5–15+ additional RWHP by eliminating the exhaust restriction.
Is this manifold good for towing?
Yes. The improved flow and heat dissipation reduce EGTs under sustained load, meaning less stress on engine components and the turbo when towing heavy.
What warranty is included?
12 months against manufacturing defects when installed by a qualified mechanic following proper procedures. Warranty doesn't cover damage from improper installation, over-tightening, or incompatible components.
Who makes this manifold?
This manifold is manufactured by PPRC Thailand, a well-established fabricator in the Southeast Asian diesel performance scene with a proven track record in the Thai Hilux/Prado performance market.
