Dump/front pipes

[400HP]

Hi guys.... I'm considering getting a dump pipe and front pipe

have people realised a noticeable gain from this? Some people say that it improves power in the low end...

what are your experiences?

how big are the ones you are looking at??

I had a 3" front pipe and 3" catback with twin 3.5" tips when I first brought my car in to the country. A couple of months ago I bought an HPC coated front+dump combo pipe with a separate wastegate line. I had to remove the front pipe that came on it, but all I can say is the difference was unbelievable. Boost came on earlier and higher and it just felt so much quicker. Definitely worth it. It only cost me $400 too.

MIC33R where did you get it from?

[400HP]

well I dunno how big I should get... my current cat back is a 3 or 3.5"...

I'm looking at getting a tuned length front pipe and decent dumps...

I'm also wondering whether its worthwhile getting it done here at a place like HiTech or just getting the jap parts...

obviously the jap parts are tried and tested but I'm wondering if anyone has any experince with the local stuff?

It was Exotic exhausts in Brisbane. I'm from Newcastle so I actually had a friend arrange it all, but it was all pretty easy in the end. The quality of the pipe was pretty damn good too. My mechanic who put it in said it was the best he'd seen.

Cheers,
