hey, can anyone tell me if there would be much difference between a cheaper ebay item like THIS for $280 including post, or getting a brand one for about $800??? as far as i see it, it's just stainless pipe and there wouldnt be too much difference at all, but just after some opinions.

Cheers, Brad.

you can use cheap/copy parts in some places without a problem.

However a dump/front pipe is a pain in the ass to change, hence i would spend the money on something that you won't have to take off.

OR

but the cheaper copy, and get it cleaned up/welded and so on before putting it on. Will cost couple hundred at least

ebay is a bit of a hit and miss... some may fit perfect, others wont. it comes down to manufacturing quality therefore china vs. japan (or a better factory in china again in some cases)

i got a jjr one, for the price they are pretty good, fit up well and i haven't had any problems with it.

This is the pipe setup that I purchased. I'd avoid it if you don't want to do some home panelbeating with the thing. The system sounds nice but when installed you need to pad the front pipe or it will vibrate against the car body. Dump pipe is giving me alot of wastegate issues at the moment...I'm diegrinding the hell out of it to make more clearance for the wastegate flap. It is one of the "safer" cheap eBay items, but if you don't want the f*** around that I'm going through at the moment then just think of this as a $280 mistake you'll have to pay on top of a branded system that does fit perfectly.

I don't think they've even bolted these items up to the cars they're designed for. Appear to have just gone off the most basic measurements and estimations.

Would installing the dump pipe for a bigger turbo help on the response? Or the difference is not that big afterall? I'm contemplating to put the HKS dumps on since thats gonna cost another 4hrs worth of labour (gonna put on HKS front pipe). It'll probably be worth it if you're changing turbos but from how I see things, its not worth doing it atm.

      There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:

      And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.

      Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.

      I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.

      Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.
