Dump Pipe Information

[gotRICE?]

Hey guys.

Really new to the Skyline scene, although have been a Skyline lover since i was a child. Have finally got out of the VTEC Club and into the.. PSI Club :laughing-smiley-014:

Im joining the masses in the 97-8 R33 25-t area.

Anywho.. I havnt actually purchaced a Skyline yet, but as i always do, im building a stock pile. Already have an HKS High Power Silent on the way from Japan, via Nengun, and am going to order a few more bits later on. Front pipe, Apexi filter, and anything else that catches my eye

To complete the exhaust side of things im going to get myself an HKS Front pipe, some sort of de-cat/test pipe of the same diameter, and a split Dump pipe.

Basically, the question i pose is:

What do most peeps reccomend for a Split Dump pipe, and are there any out there that will bolt up to the HKS Front pipe without any modifications? As i am still new to turbos, i dont know wether the "good" branded aftermarket parts are designed as "Factory Replacements" and still bolt up to the rest of the OEM stuff.

The HKS Front pipe is described that it bolts to the factory turbo, but im assuming they actually mean the factory dump pipe?

So again, lets pretend right now i have a full HKS Exhaust, starting at the HKS Front pipe Now what Split Dump Pipe do i need to hunt?

Hope its not too much for my 1st topic, as the search didnt answer my questions

Thanks in advance. Look foward to your knowledge!

Most people use a 1 piece front/dump on gts-t's as its a simple and cost effective way of going about it. Are you sure the frontpipe you have ordered is not a front/dump combo?

This is the one.

I guess it is possible its a combo. But looking at others it doesnt appear so. Could be wrong tho!

Cost effectiveness isnt really my game Although cheap is good, i dont mnd spending the extra $ for high quality parts. I was considered a 'Mugen Whore" on NZHondas.com as i basically had the Mugen catalogue bolted to the Type R haha.

At a guess, has noone used the combination im going for? There must be someone that knows!

that looks like just a front pipe.. you'd want to get the dump pipe/ elbow for it... either HKS or Tomei. If you're after a one piece front/dump pipe, take a look at something like CES split dump if you want to spend money on a well made piece of gear that works well.

u havent bought the car yet?

what if the car comes with turbo-back exhaust?

I cant seem to find actual HKS Split dump pipes, i can find "HKS Style" but not HKS lol. Random huh.

I will ask the supplier, but im assuming if it was HKS style then it would be produced off an HKS item, that in theory should bolt up to the HKS front pipe.. lol

Dont really mind if its one piece or two piece.

If you want a split dump I would go for CES. The HKS "style" has the wastegate pipe joining too close too soon to the main pipe. Otherwise, go for a single chamber like tomei

True. Never thought of that...

+1

+1

Because when i buy a car i ususally take a checklist with me for what i want

- STOCK

- Black

- 50-70K km

- 5 spd

And if it doesnt quite meet that.. IE it has a couple of mods.. then i guess ill get a little coin in return selling the stuff its already got
