It has been very hard to find anything off the shelf in Japan. we found a used Dolphin dump pipe but we think it was a prototype and there was no production.

I am interested but as always, it depends on price :)

Btw, anyone know roughly how much a dump from Japan would cost? Im heading over in May and wondering if there is much difference in price between this and a branded bolt on.

Thanks

I could make a few up if you need. I have the jig setup already, just need to source a couple of stainless bends. I could work out a good group buy price too if you like?

The stock dump can be a pain to get off, good idea having a hoist to do this job and a good tool selection. I usually replace the studs with stainless bolts to make it easier to refit.

I spoke to liverpool exhausts today after reading about a m35 axis on here (forgot the guys name) but he had a custom dump made up but mild steel with a ceramic coating. the price for this including a highflow cat was $1200 :( W-T-H

Wow 1200 bucks? I got mine from the same place for 900 last year. I must say, even though we sat outside in the carpark for an entire day, they did a decent job and havent had any issues since.

Absolutley Iain. You have my help for the hole day when you get it done.

its helpful to have a friend assist you with the job. isnt that right Andy?? :(

i know ill have some help when mine gets done hehehe

Did you get the dump and cat done as well?......good price at $900 from Charlstone if you did :O.....Iv'e known Bruce for nearly 20 years and he still charged me $1,100 without the dump pipe and cat(what cat :( )

P.S. From what I have seen Scott's Dump pipe is the ones to get.

P.S.S. Andy a guru :O

No, Eugine had his done by Liverpool. And that was from behind the cat back.

Scott's pipes look very good. Pitty they wern't ready when I did mine.

And yes, you know it is true Craig... :O

That dump pipe that you guys saw was a one off and lives on my car.

It was going to be the "production" one, but for 2 reasons;

1. A shit load of time and effort to make

2. A pain in the arse to install/remove

I will be looking into getting some 3" bends so we can make up a few similar to the eBay one.

Anyone who would be interested, please post below to give us some idea of quantities

Yeah I got mine done at Livo Exhaust. As much as i didnt want to go there ever again from past experiences, I had no choice for 3 reasons. 1 - no one at that time on this forum had done any exhaust upgrades, 2 - my stock cat was cracking so I had to get something done, and 3 - Chris (MLCrisis I think that's the id) had his exhaust done at Livo and I liked what they did to his car. My dump/front combo with a high flow cat is mild steel but ceramic coated so won't ever rust as long as I don't scrape the pipe. I recently changed the oil and had a good look at the pipe and cat and after almost 1.5 years of having it, she still looks good.

    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
