Custom Fabrication

[AngryRB]

Hi all,

Just interested to know how much a custom 3 1/2 inch dump stainless steel on a stock manifold with a gt3076 should cost? So far been quoted $350, $550 and $800

so im wondering if the more expensive ones are any better or they're just over charging.

also if anyone knows a good fabrication workshop in brisbane ..

thanks

$800 for a dump pipe is rediculas, tell them to get f**ked.

May I ask what shops gave you what prices?

Stainless will look pretty for about 2 days. Or 1 tuning session.

I would use mild steel and ceramic coat it or heat wrap it.

ah ok, my catback is stainless and years old, still looks ok,

but could do what you say because ill probably ceramic coat it eventually anyway, but what do you think it should cost??

Mantel bent?

A good quality MS custom dump mandrel bent will cost more than $30 to get a shop to do it

1x 3.5 inch bend in stainless should only cost 30 or so bucks (you might need 2), I've just done a 3-3.5 inch dump in stainless for a mate and it cost $150 all up including flanges, extra bends with ext gate plumb back, , expander and straight pipe. I backpurge all stainless exhaust welding to help with longevity, happy to help you out if you want

That's not including labour as I did it myself. it should not be any more then 150 with flanges surely it's a 20 min job

sounds good, do you have any pics of it,

id be happy to pay you more than that for a quality dump pipe.

Did have a photo somewhere of that one but must have deleted it. Here's a pic of one I did for a wrx couple of years ago (external gate, a little more involved), i'll be happy to knock something up to suit your budget- if you're keen, swing me a pm

aluminized steel can work to.You can weld it easy to SS.
