I finished the new exhaust today, thanks Cam for helping. :woot:

I managed to keep the pipe as straight as possible given the tight space to work with. 3.5 inch dump (flattened for clearance) into 100cpsi cat and 3 inch front pipe. The rest of the system is Cam's old 3 inch one, Legalis is it? It still sounds louder than I want... The price you pay for a performance exhaust I guess.

Have yet to drive it so I will let you know my thoughts tomorrow, I will also have to get back on the dyno and tune for this and the boost controller so hopefully good gains. :woot:

NICE!!!

Thats hot scotty.

PM about your old exhaust. Keen on making another one of those front/dumps?? Ill buy one...

Lol, If you buy the old system wont you be jealous when your brother rips one of the new dumps out? :woot:

I can make more of them but you can only imagine how much time that many welds takes. I haven't priced them up but they wont be cheap... Also, they are a bitch to fit. What's your tool selection like? It could be worth a trip down.

nice exhaust, good that you gave it a go yourself dude... rather than paying a pro to do it...

the welds are okay for a beginner...

did you really have to "flatten" the front for clearance? liek the 3inch wouldnt fit at all?

interesting concept, although i will be doing mine a little differently.

but seriosuly kudos for doing it yourself, love your style

when i finally decide to do mine. which shouldnt be too long away...

i only got my car friday and its not complied yet lol

ill be able to make more for anyone who wants one... and i wont be charging much, if anything at all...

ive made 3 or 4 custom intercooler kits for ppl when i was in the drift scene. and i only charged like 50 bucks labour. and they had to pay for material. (trying to help ppl out)

where i work we make huge ginormous tanks and vessels. for CSL (who make the drugs and vaccines for everyone) and food tanks... so all we do is bust our ass, and then the truck comes and picks it up.

and thats it. we dont ever get to see the customers reaction... so because when i do stuff for peoples cars. i get to see thier reaction i almost feel bad charging them lol

Anytime mate.

Still louder? How does the Mrs feel about the sound & volume?

How did it sound when warm (it is a bit loud when cold - as is the Nismo exhaust for that matter)

Its almost silent at idle and cruise but as I get on the gas it becomes much louder, old system was the other way around.

I had to lower the boost back to stock for now as its running leaner again. I have booked some dyno time for Thursday.

Mrs likes it. :P

M12x1.25 50mm long studs with 13.75mm knurl wont fit

    • OK. But what about parts of the block that, when assembled, were twisted into a position that pushed into the void space, which, when disassembled, then released that force and opened back up, thus putting the grout into tension? Would effectively just pull the cast iron off the grout at the interface, leaving a tiny void and benefitting not much at all. Swings, and roundabouts. It's like putting something tiny into the fleshlight and finding out you needed a smaller one, to perhaps follow your area of expertise.
    • Nah. You buy a kit that has shorter tubes.
    • I didnt present too many conclusions because I wanted your opinions and feedback based on your own experiences. I don't know the exact material, but it is similar to concrete and therfor only has valuable strength in compression. The forces on the set material once the head is removed would mostly be in compression since the grout wants to retain its shape and the block wants to return to its relaxed state since it's still within the elastic region. The grout would theoretically make the block more rigid. The exact amount would take a better setup on my end. Thought experiment: Instead of aliens, twist your favorite fleshlite. Now fill it with grout and allow it to sit for a week. Now try to twist it again. Observe what you see. Now get your other one and blow into it. Observe what you see. Now put it into a can and fill the space between your fleshlite and the can. After it sets blow into it. Less movement in torsion and less expansion i hope.
