perth exhaust centre vic park, i got my stainless steel 3" turbo back with high flow cat and s/steel muffler of my choice for $1200 i recall. If you cant they even make the dump pipe just for that tiny extra bit of flow. theres an article in the perth street mag vol9 no4 where they did that plus same system as mine to an s15 giving 15 extra kw at wheels

I got my pipe form the turbo to the cat (dump and front) done a Quick Fit in Morley. Stainless 3" pipe, hand fabricated dump pipe for around $405 from memory.

If you like you could get them to make you a 'flanged' de-cat pipe. Tell them it is for 'off-road use' for when you go to Waneroo or the motor-plex.

The pipe can be swapped with the cat when you need that extra bit of 'GO'. Much better than gutting the cat, should cost less than $100 in stainless. Better still get a de-cat pipe AND a flame-thrower.

Flame thrower; a short flanged pipe with a slight megaphone like flare at the end that exits under the passenger door. This pipe will bolt in place of the cat on race days/dyno days.

Straight out your turbo baby! Big flames and a sound like WW2.

They should be cool making them for you if you specify they are only for special events (like getting your neigbours backs up):P

i was at Cypher the other day and it would cost roughly 700ish for a tuned-length downpipe with a highflow cat.

$700 is alot of money for a peice of pipe that short.

Tuned length? on a turbo downpipe? A mistake surely. The only area where tuned length is required is straight out the cylinder head(manifold), where there is a slowish 'pulsing' of exhaust from each cylinder.

Ring Quick fit in morley, see what their price is like. With the money you save you can buy some exhaust wrap and stainless pipe clamps.

anyway thanks for all the comments

Make sure to get a 'flame thrower' or a decat (doesn't have to be stainless) they would only charge a few bucks to make one I'm sure.

the Flame thrower, is the exhaust a race car uses, no mufflers just a pipe that exits just under the passeger door. It would be a simple bolt on pipe that goes in place of the cat for race meets/dyno or naughty late night hooning. The de-cat pipe is more practical it just replaces the cat with a straight peice of pipe.

When you take the cat off and put the flame thrower on the exhaust remains in place but nothing comes out the back, flames come out the side.:P

When you take the cat off and put the de-cat in flames come out the back but, it is as quiet as normal.

Flame throwers will give you a significant increase in power and not to mention noise (but they are so much fun!).

:)

If you get it doen right you can swap the exhaust over in 10min or so by undoing 6 bolts, putting the decat of flame thrower in and doing the 6 bolts back up.

Heya Wassabi,

If you already have a cat back exhaust then Brett at PSI can prob help!

I got my full exhaust system (Dump Down pipe and hi flow cat) done with him added 20HP at the wheels, I have the dyno sheets to show this! i was VERY happy with his work and didn't charge too much at all! then i had SAFC and boost wound up a bit and it was another 20HP extra 40HP in 1 day made for quite an excitring drive home...need i say more:uh-huh:

From my experience giv Brett at PSI a call..... some people have had probs but i don't want to start arguments but from the people that i have recommended to him such as IMACUL8 they are more than happy with him!

U still need some backpressure from turbo i would say

If the factory computer has anything to do with it, I'd say it retarded the timing on you.

Turbo's do not like backpressure at all! Get rid of back pressure on the turbo and power is there for the taking.

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
