Rb26 Single Turbo Exhuast

[CruiseLiner]

hey guys im just finishing the last touches to my exhuast dump pipe to cat section and i want to know if you guys with big single high mounts are using a flexi pipe on the exhuast to stop the weight onto the manifold and possibly cause cracking/stress on it.

my exhuast is 3" mild steel, wastegate is totally seperate pipe (external gate) so yes or no?

oh and the manifold is a trust s/s one, if that makes any difference.

cheers

not generaly needed, but a goood idea

[Morgs]

Yep, I've got one

[WetGTR]

I don't use one.

There is a bracket though that hold the dump to the gearbox. It has a hard rubber flexiable bit to it. It holds it in place just incase there are external stresses place on it.

ye, if your mainly having a solid mounted exhaust, get the bendy bit

if its using rubber mounts, then i wouldnt worry.

my trust split dumps came with the flex hose, but im not using it

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

so what are you going to do... replace that section of the dumps?

The trust ones (as you know) merge into a single pipe, and im using twin exhaust all the way to keep it nice and flowing
