Best Dump/front Pipes For A 26 ?

[thrtytwo]

Theres a few big name aftermarket jobbies around, mines, HKS, Tomei and the price can vary a fair bit !

is there one particular brand that is considered better than any others ? (doesnt have to be jap)

it probably wouldnt be a problem on a low power car, but looking in the vicinity of 400-450rwhp every bit of flow would help (HKS GT-SS or 2860-9's)

cheers

As that's not mega power, go a set of R34GTR stock dumps.

If you want the best, get a set of 1st gen Tomei's if you can find them

[thrtytwo]

Cheers for reply I figured they'd be adequate for th power level. Same ad turbo manifolds. But in the chase for ultimate response would bigger be better ?

Also does ceramic coating and heat wrapping give enough benefit to bother with it ?

[R31Nismoid]

Factory is fine.

I HAD Trust dumps on the car, took them off and put factory on... no difference

[XRATED]

I made some good gains in response and power using the trust dump pipe kit.

Definatly ceramic coat the ex- housings, dumps and Y pipe. Also look at a heat shield on the front dump pipe, to keep as much heat away from the rear air intake.

yeah apparently factory r34gtr dumps are awesome

ceramic coating will keep under-bonnet temps down

^^^^^ hands down the best fullstop.

Best factory setup is the R34 gtr getup.

cheers mate ! looks like a nice piece of kit, any insight on weather an aftermarket ex mani is worth it ? again purely for MAX RESPONSE, i know the stock item is said to be adequate for fairly high power levels, but im chasing every bit of response i can

cf drive shaft

lightened flywheel

aluminium pulleys

anything i can think of to get nice early spool so even if mani/dumps dont get more KW its not an issue

As i said above - i swapped out dumps FROM aftermarket back to stock - there was no response difference to speak of.

[Adriano]

Were they stock 32 dumps? What turbos, boost and power ash?

just dumps or full front pipes ?

I know the dumps are cast pieces but if the stock front pipes on a 26(34 Vspec II if it makes a diff to zorst) looks anything like the pressed items on my old 32 (rb20) then id want to swap them pretty quick

[R31Nismoid]

R32 or R33, can't remember exactly They aren't R34 items thats for sure.

280rwkw @ just over 1bar (i think around 15-16psi) on GT-SS's.

There is a another car i know of, exactly the same setup as mine, with a smaller exhaust - 330rwkw @ 20-22psi, factory dumps as well.

That's how we came to give it a go on my car, given this car was restricted to factory dumps for some sort of class racing i was told.

I'm yet to enquire if there are anymore setups that have since followed suit so i won't speculate.

If i ever get off my ass and finish off everything, i'll end up @ the same... I'm lazy

Nah not factory front pipes, aftermarket. JUST the Dumps im talking about.

The front pipes i have are 2.25" x2 (im pretty sure) into a merge with a 3.5" from there back.

cheers for the info, very knowledgeable as usual

I tend to learn my lesson the hard way... bolt something on, then have a problem with it (dumps in this case was ride height)... then change back to stock and it's not bl00dy different

[CameronBNR32]

C.E.S here in Brisbane make a setup like the greddy setup, in stainless and mild steel, 3 inch or 3.5 inch, I run the 3.5 inch setup on my race car, I got them ceramic coated and they are surprisingly light for the size.

[thrtytwo]

Oh wow, looks naiiice !

What kind of price are you looking at for those?

[Thelen]

By front pipes, do you mean engine to turbo or what? I wasn't aware of any aftermarket front pipes for the 26, at least not big brand name?

[R31Nismoid]

Front pipes - the pipe that connects the DUMP to the CAT
