rb25neo, they have been doing this for many years and yes they dyno before and after to prove the results.

The cost for HKS silent exhaust, 3" catco hiflow cat and blitz 3" front pipe alone cost $1750 and still the cost of fitting if your not doing it yourself so probably around the $2000 price range anyways.

Have a look for yourself http://www.cesracing.com.au/ these guys have a serious reputation and have held it for many many years now.

A pipe with the same ID should flow the same as another. The jap systems sometimes step down internally hence they sometimes prove to be a restriction at certain power levels.

I back to back tested a CES split against a good bellmouth and it was line ball (using a GT-RS) but the bellmouth made a whisker more power everywhere. Possibly dyno variation.

The quality of CES gear is very high so you will end up with a quality item, over the life of the car it will be something to set and forget.

I am not sure it will perform better than another cheaper straight thru system.

Mate the Jap ones are not all there cracked up to be, your mostly paying for sticker name. I have been going through the same dilema at the moment. In my opinion I think the Jap sticker brands are great for coolers and add ons like oil catch tank etc. But with price not being your deciding factor I would say you cant go past CES racing. I have been looking for the best quality and flow myself without price considerations and no one but CES racing will give you guaranteed kw increase. Full CES 3"stainless system with ceramic coated twin dump pipe for $2640. Im booked in to get mine fitted in 2 weeks time. Guaranteed 40kw increase at the wheels, best systems around for quality and performance I reckon :)

how did you go! i'm looking at options also

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
