You can either get the short type eg HKS or the longer versions which Trust make. There are also 100's of knock off version available.

The HKS type replace the existing dump pipes in your car & will tie into whatever exhaust you have. The Trust type tie into the exhaust just before the cat - so you don't need a front pipe. For me if I would buy the Trust gear instead of the HKS dumps AND front pipes. However if you have an exhaust with an aftermarket front pipe (many exhausts use the stock ones) I would just buy the HKS dumps.

The Tomei ones fit the same as the HKS type, but do not segregate the wastegate flow aswell as the HKS units.

Just about everything will fit your turbos.

why you changing so soon?

Pretty much because I like spending money on nothing :(

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the HKS dump pipes... They're brilliantly designed and pieces of art. I just want the higher flow capabilities of the Tomei dump pipes.

On a similar note guys.. when replacing the dumps you are going to lose the stock heat shields. How important are these and what are you guys doing about it ?

If its necessary, im thinking of wrapping mine in that fabric that keeps the heat in. I know theres ceramic coating as well but sounds expensive? Or are yas putting the stock shields back on by welding ?

You should wrap them in exhaust wrap if you intend to track the car in my opinion.

That or have them ceramic coated.

Correct me if I'm wrong Richard aka BB. I think it was you that once said "you shouldn't wrap your dump pipes cause it can cause cracking and increase metal fatigue by keeping the heat in the dump pipe by wrapping it"?

Is this correct? if so what can be done to keep heat out of the engine bay?

Also does the price of the Tomei dumps justify the performance gain?

The people that have fitted the Tomei dumps notice a "significant change" before and after fitment?

In terms of less spool up time?

cheers

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
