more questions: is it nescesary to hpc coat a SS front pipe? [or any other heat treatment?] I was hoping to just bolt it straight on - given the fact that the turbo is stock and only a mild 10psi of boost [factory is 8psi] - will temps be okay without heat treatment?

Thanks guys!

Hey Guys,

Hope this doesn't sound like real stupid question but how much of a difference will a dump pipe really make? If you had an Apexi N1 front pipe bolted up to a standard dump pipe, would you notice any power gains if you fitted a larger dump pipe?, even having the front pipe on alone?

Also what do you think is better doing in that case, getting a dump & front pipe combo, or having an Apexi N1 front pipe and then getting a custom dump pipe or somthing like a hks dump pipe?

Thanks men,

Gianni

Hello go to www.flyn.com.au they have them there for $280, they also have cat's, exhausts and other high performance stuff.

I like the look of this dump & front pipe combo turbomad! Do you recomend this mob coz they look like they know there stuff and by looking at the pic of the combo dump & front pipe, it looks like it's been constructed very well! Would you know if this dump/front pipe will bolt straight up with no hassles meaning it won't rumble on the floor pan or be touching the fire wall making a racket?

It shouldn't make a difference if I have an Apexi N1 cat back system would it?

Regards,

Gianni

I've PM'd him so hopefully will find out what's going on....if that deals gone tho, JMS have SS dump pipes for $350:

or combined dump front pipes for $325:

[doesn't say whether they're SS tho...probably not].

I was really after the cat too

Just noticed that on the first link you posted Steve http://www.japanesemotorsport.com.au/partsinstock.htm, they also have these:

"New stainless front pipes to suit Skyline R32-33

and SR20 S13, S14, S15 silvia/180SX ~ $350" See pic below.

So dont worry about the MS for $325 - spend the extra $25 :mad:

This price for an SS front pipe was similar to batmbl's I think! [if you cant get it anymore].

I am still trying to figure out if all the 32/33 front pipes will fit my car, any takers? Please!

Hey turbomad and SeriesIIGTST,

sounds like a good idea buying the dump/front pipe from Flyn Performance! I would really like to hear from the two of you on what your thought's are on the quality of these pipes you bought and how well they bolt up to factory spec's and perform!

Should be very Interesting! As soon as I get some money together I think I'll have to join you guys!

By the way SeriesIIGTST, did you also buy the dump/front pipe combo? What I really want to know is if you have an Apexi N1 cat back exhaust with standard cat, will this combo dump/front pipe bolt straight on to a 3" high flow cat with the N1 bolted to the rear of the cat and then the combo dump/front pipe bolt straight onto the turbo housing with no troubles? sounds like a bit of a mouth full hey!

All the best guy's and hope to hear from you soom in regards to how good the combo pipes are you purchased from Flyn Performance,

Regards,

Gianni

Its not so much a power gain you get with a dump pipe but rather a shifting of the power somewhat. The turbo comes on boost alot earlier meaning your getting alot more midrange power with not alot of gain at the top.

So your dyno chart might not show much difference in terms of the peak number, but it will look alot fatter in the middle, which is where you want it.

Of course theres no point putting the dump on if youve still got the standard front pipe. You could do the front pipe before the dump but the gains wouldnt be anywhere near as good as having both the dump+front.

Since putting the dump on my 32 I would say the turbo is hitting full boost close to a thousand rpm earlier. Bottom end on the RB20 has been beefed up significantly. Before it felt a bit choked.

Gianni,

Sorry dude, I don't have an N1 front pipe so I can't really help you. I ordered the one piece dump/front pipe which, with any luck, will cleanly bolt onto my cat and my turbo without modification.

Will keep you informed as it happens...
