jeez. Just kiss already.

Doesnt matter which way you put it, a equal length front pipe is the best sounding RB26. But if you go single then it sounds mental on its own.

Some say a equal length is beneficial to allow the gasses to flow evenly out to the tailpipe and inturn helps with shuffling. I can definitely say that a equal length front pipe helps with shuffling. My midori front pipe shuffled like a fair bit up inclines. But with the mines front pipe I do not experience the same level of shuffling.

But biggest point here is sound.

The end.

That is not the purpose of this topic and if you go and google I am sure you will find many more theories on the differences.

They hug the body VERY well. I've never bumped them on the ground. They generally won't do an exhaust unless they have THE car they're going on... So they can get the fit spot on. Not sure if that's changed but that was the story a few years ago.

thanks Piggaz they said they could send me one I just wanted to see if anyone in sydney could make one just as good if not better so I can make sure it fits snug

The unequal length twin 3 inch system on the 33 gtr I have here sounds awesome, if only the 3L bottom end didn't make it sound like a VL.

You seriously think a few extra inches in a front pipe will make it sound any different?

for an extra couple of bucks, can't hurt?

Yes,

Lol, you believe a youtube sound clip? That is obviously not just swapping the front pipes. It's the mufflers that change the note, not the pipes.

I agree, it makes little difference to the price, although there are many more bends and you will be sacrificing flow for this equal length nonsense. I like to tuck my systems up, not have them hanging down lower. Each to their own I guess.

This was Daz's car, he already had a twin 3 inch system, I am just making it work with the taller block.

I have done a few twin 3 into 4 inch systems, usually tapering back to 3.5 at the mid muffler.

My car came with the usual unequal length front pipe. I changed it to an equal length one (no other changes to the car) and the sound changed (used to sound like my old neighbour's 6cyl BMW, now sounds like a "real GT-R" :P).

If some of you gtr owners are that purist, perhaps the stock exhaust is the go? I am sure Nissan will still have a few in storage.

The unequal length sidepipes on the Gibson GTR I worked on had a beautiful note at 8000 revs. :P

Fact is, unequal vs. equal length front pipes produce different sound. I know I heard it on my car. Doesn't mean it sounds any less meaner, just different.

Here's another youtube vid.

Performance wise? probably no difference. Practical wise, unequal is better, my equal length hangs pretty low (lowest part of the car) and has copped some dents.

I am terribly sorry that I used evidence to give you an example. Or maybe the fact that I also changed front pipes to equal length ones and the note changed of the exhaust. Oh and didn't touch the timing nor manifolds. Now you are calling me simple minded? Give me some credit at least.

But I don't know why we are arguing. You are clearly wrong and now it seems you are just hell bent on being right.

That is not the topic of discussion here.

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
    • You must be fun at parties.
