Ok wrong forum and all that stuff, however i thought some of you guys may know (IMMACUL8, Paul, GTRKEN etc)

I've been offered a good quality, 3" turbo back, S/S exhaust for $800. Its about 6-8mnths old and is supposed to be in very good condition. Sounds great etc

Second hand seems like a good option at the moment

Main questions are:

Its coming from a near stock 2000 club spec 4, so will it fit a MY97, without any hassles?

How easy are they to fit? and

Is this worth it, or should i shop around some more?

Cheers,

Mat

Thanks guys...

Dont worry SkylineGTR, i knew what you meant! :D

APPARENTLY it will fit no probs. Im not sure though. I'll PM Ken i think, Paul.

Would love a titanium exhaust but cant really afford one just yet. He's got reciepts and it was almost 2G all up. Its under a year old and is fully stainless steel.

If it fits ok, i think i'll get it.

Does anyone know how hgard are they to fit??

Docile , all WRX exhausts on the 94-2000 fit but get one that is from the turbo back ( not cat back) and make sure it has a separate or blended waste gate pipe. That is where the gains are..

Maximums sell a show quality one from the turbo back in Stainless steel , hi flo cat and a nice tip with a muffler that doesn't drone for $1750 + GST fitted.

Biggest hassle is getting the pipe off the turbo and modifying the steel cover to fit the bigger pipe.

The rest is easy and a hoist makes it a lot simpler.

Cheers

Ken

Thanks heaps Ken. I have a feeling it was either a MMS or RMS exhaust... He said he payed around $1800 for it.

Its turbo back, so if its looks the goods, i'll buy it

I've got access to a "walk in pit" but my old man knows a couple of guys that run the Shell garages, so we could probably borrow a hoist for a little while.

The only bit i'm worrying about is "getting the pipe off the turbo and modifying the steel cover to fit the bigger pipe"

Any ideas on a rough figure of an exhaust shop fitting it??

Cheers

Mat

dolice....

what modification do you want to make????

I have a MMS turbo back (all MMS are Norm Bulter built). The way to tell if its MMS i it will have a wastegate splitter built into the dumppipe (this is where the power gains come from as Ken was saying)...

To fit it its a piece of cake. We did took mine off 2 weeks ago, fitted my ew turbo and put it back on ourselves.....

Daniel, I just want to run autronics, FMIC, big turbo etc. Thats all in the long run though.

For next 6mnths or so i just want to have the very basic mods.

I'll sms him soon (he's selling because he bought all Rashaad's (the spoilerless evo 4 rex) old stuff, when Rashaad bought Hansens Evo 6) and find out.

Ok cool. He was saying something about having a splitter and wanted 1K for it (but whilst drunk at the ISD's he said i could have it for 7 or $800), so i'm going to buy it.

I know only the basic's so anyone with help / idea's / advice on changing exhausts, it would be much appreciated!

      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...

      Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.

      The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome

      The thing is, once the content has been tagged we can chop and change the end result as much as we want. Its identifying the content in the first place that needs to be done regardless of the final outcome.

      Sorry @GTSBoy I thought I'd replied here. There's a new BIG version of invision coming out soon, it might be worth waiting until that happens as it contains a lot of improved functionality for tags. My suggestion would be to add a top level page (not thread) with some info on it and then link to sub pages for various topics. We could even just start really simple with 2 or 3 pages underneath it. Those pages could just have a view (like a pre configured search result) of the tags we choose to put on it. We could have some background or an intro on each of these pages. My only issue is that while admins and mods can update the existing content to contain the tags we want, new posts can have whatever tags the author wants. That said, the reason our tags are so messy is because of that, so maybe we restrict tagging to admins/mods in edits.
