PSIKO Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Hi guys I am putting a set of HPI dumps onto my RB26 (76.3mm outlet from memory) and have a Tomei Ti exhaust (90mm) from the cat back. I'm trying to find a suitable set of front pipes that will match those sizes, and the only ones I can find are: Pentroof: http://www.nengun.com/pentroof/large-diameter-front-pipe Midori: http://www.nengun.com/midori-seibi/titanium-gtr-front-pipe The thing is, I would prefer tuned length if at all possible - are these tuned length? If not, is there anything else that would be suitable that is tuned length and matches my 76.3mm dumps and 90mm exhaust? Cheers!

SiR_RB Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I had the same setup, ended up getting some custom twin 76mm to 90mm front pipes as I couldn't find any off the shelf that size Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/441424-front-pipes-to-match-hpi-dumps-tomei-ti-exhaust/#findComment-7247921 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty nm35 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Tuned length? It's not a set of extractors... Get the gas out, don't worry about the noise it makes.

Blackkers Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) as scotty said it's not a manifold so just plumb it up as it fits. You're best bet is going custom but you might get lucky with an off the shelf part Edited April 3, 2014 by Blackkers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/441424-front-pipes-to-match-hpi-dumps-tomei-ti-exhaust/#findComment-7248566 Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty nm35 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Well then you should pay $1500 to $2000 for those "Tuned length' pipes shipped from Japan and not ask our opinion. It's not like I know what I am talking about anyway... I could make better pipes than those for under $500 in stainless, and they wouldn't drag on every speed hump you drive over.

I missed the bit where the OP asked for opinions. I assume he wants tuned length because they sound so much nicer than non-tuned front pipes. Do you have any examples of your front pipes out of interest Scotty? I could only see these pieces of art in this build thread. The turbo elbow particularly caught my attention. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/419605-my-r34-gt-t-streettrack-builddiary/page-11?hl=+scotty Edited April 3, 2014 by colinhunt 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/441424-front-pipes-to-match-hpi-dumps-tomei-ti-exhaust/#findComment-7248847 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTSBoy Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Picking exhaust sound "niceness" over saving $ and ground clearance sounds like a typical forum question to me.

scotty nm35 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Do you have any examples of your front pipes out of interest Scotty? I don't, mainly as I have never been asked to make them. Typically most GTR owners want 'brand name' parts I have found. I assume Tony's outlet pipe looked a little 'wrong' to you, it was the only way a turbo that large would fit behind the PS pump without hitting the strut tower. A close up of the exterior of the pipe is interesting, but the inside was perfectly smooth, and it flowed the numbers... Again, not something a GTR owner would generally go for, it's not shiny enough, no matter how practical it is.

Aussie engineering could take it to the jap "bling" companies without batting an eyelid. Catalogue shopping is junk.

GTRPSI Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Bit late but your talking out of your piggaz I think you need to ask the japs what they thought of our Aussie Godzillas before making that remark. Maybe ask them what they had been taught from us......

Piggaz Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Bit late but your talking out of your piggaz Am I?You bumped a 12 month old thread to tell me I'm an idiot! The point I was trying to make is that you can't just flick through a trust/Nismo/HKS/whatever and pick parts and expect some awesome result. An example. A SARD fuel rail. Looks pretty, duel entry single out. Sounds sweet yeah? The bloody piece of shit doesn't have a seat for the injectors to push up against. Waste of time. Kakimoto Full Mega N1 exhaust. Looks mad with it's bit tough cannon. Has some 2 inch restrictor/"silencer"/taper down/whatever you want to call it in the rear muffler. You're so called "90 mm exhaust" now because a 50. Waste of farken time. Tomei Expreme RB 26 stainless manifolds. Cost a fortune, look pretty. Made from shit stainless that crack and also offer no performance advantage. I've personally done a back to back. A mate has a Evo Tomei manifold sitting on his garage floor because they're cracked. Make a good paperweight though! Two quick examples that quickly came to my head. Have fun with your catalogues, mate! 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/441424-front-pipes-to-match-hpi-dumps-tomei-ti-exhaust/#findComment-7480545 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick_o Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) His name says it all Piggy don't worry son! Your cars results speak for themselves and i think the only Jap parts you have on it are the cooler and intake manifold?
