Our Core Business
Commercial Exhaust Systems Are at the Core of What We Do
PTEC was started in Pretoria in 1998 with a focus on truck exhaust systems and commercial exhaust work remains the part of the business.
We repair, adjust and make exhaust systems for trucks, buses and other commercial vehicles in steel and stainless steel.
Our work includes truck stack systems, truck drum systems, complete and partial replacement systems, custom pipework and repairs to damaged exhaust parts.
At PTEC we make our own replacement systems and silencers instead of using original equipment manufacturer parts.
When an exhaust keeps failing we look at factors such as how it is fixed where it is placed, vibrations, movement and the way it is used.
Commercial exhaust capabilities include:
Truck Exhaust Systems
Repairs, replacement systems, stack and drum systems, and custom fabrication.
Bus Exhaust Systems
Repairs, replacement sections and complete systems for passenger transport vehicles.
Generator & Industrial Exhaust Systems
Exhaust systems for generators, stationary engines and industrial applications.
Truck exhaust repairs
Partial replacement systems
Truck stack exhaust systems
Truck drum exhaust systems
Bus exhaust systems
Mild-steel and stainless-steel fabrication
PTEC-designed and manufactured silencers
Custom pipework and exhaust fabrication
Repairs to pipes, silencers, brackets and mounting points
Solutions for repeated exhaust failures
Technical Expertise
Solving Exhaust Problems — Not Just Replacing Parts
Commercial vehicles are exposed to vibration, chassis movement, road shock, heat cycles and demanding operating conditions.
In some cases, the original layout, mounting arrangement or material choice contributes to repeated cracking or premature failure.
PTEC looks at the system as a whole before recommending a repair or modified solution.
Depending on the job, that may include:
- Material selection
- Pipe sizing and routing
- Wall thickness where applicable
- Mounting and support
- Vibration and chassis movement
- Thermal expansion
- Welding and fitment
- Serviceability
- The cause of the original failure
The aim is not simply to replace the failed section, but to build a solution suited to the vehicle and the way it is used.
Why It Matters
Your Exhaust Is More Than Just a Pipe
A properly functioning exhaust system controls noise, manages exhaust gases and can affect engine efficiency.
A small crack, failed mounting or leaking joint may seem minor, but leaving it unattended can lead to larger failures and unnecessary repair costs.
Fleets & Manufacturers
Experience With Manufacturers, Fleets & Dealerships
PTEC has worked with commercial operators, vehicle manufacturers and dealerships on exhaust systems and recurring exhaust problems.
This includes work undertaken for Nissan South Africa and Nissan dealerships in Pretoria.
This experience forms part of the practical, problem-solving approach used in the workshop today.
Cars & Bakkies
Car & Bakkie Exhaust Repairs and Replacements in Pretoria
PTEC also repairs and manufactures exhaust systems for cars and bakkies.
Work ranges from replacing worn or damaged sections to complete mild-steel or stainless-steel systems.
Where a recurring factory weakness is identified, PTEC can develop an alternative solution rather than simply reproducing the same weak point.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you repair truck exhaust systems?
Yes. Truck exhaust repairs are a core part of PTEC’s work, from individual pipes, silencers and brackets to larger sections of the system.
Do you manufacture complete truck exhaust systems?
Yes. PTEC manufactures complete and partial truck exhaust systems, including stack systems, drum systems and custom-built replacement systems.
Do you manufacture generator exhaust systems?
Yes. PTEC repairs and manufactures generator exhaust systems, including pipework, silencers, flanges, brackets and replacement sections.
Can you repair recurring exhaust failures?
In many cases, yes. Where an exhaust repeatedly cracks or fails in the same area, PTEC can assess factors such as mounting, vibration, movement and routing before recommending a solution.
Do you work with stainless steel?
Yes. PTEC works with mild steel and stainless steel for exhaust systems, titanium for suitable specialised exhaust work, and aluminium for radiators, intercoolers, plenums and fabricated tanks.
Do you fit OEM exhaust systems?
No. PTEC manufactures its own replacement exhaust systems and silencers to suit the vehicle rather than fitting OEM exhaust assemblies.
Can you make an exhaust system if the original part is no longer available?
Yes. PTEC can manufacture a replacement section or complete system where the original part is unavailable or unsuitable.
Do you only work on trucks?
No. Trucks and commercial exhaust systems are PTEC’s primary specialisation, but the workshop also works on buses, specialised vehicles, generators, cars, bakkies and custom or performance projects.
