Qld members wanted - CES split dump pipe group buy


Recommended Posts

Guest darrinspencer

I have set up a group buy for Custom Exhaust split dump pipes for GTST and GTR

It would make things easier if most people were local to join in

Check out the group buy section for details

we need a total of 10 people to make it worth while.

Thanks

Darrin.

$550 for mild steel, $650 HPC coated

Remember this isnt just a dump, its a custom front+dump pipe with seperate internal wastegate pipe to maximize exhuast flow. It goes from your turbo, to your cat, so if you have a cat back exhaust and add this, u can expect a good 20kw with a bit more boost

the CES setup will work better than any other front and dump pipe combination, and will cost approx the same if not less

wat about a dump pipe for r34 gtt????

price??

Have ordered a 3" front and dump pipe for a R34 GTT and the same for a R33 GTS-T from Flying Performance in Sydney. They are mandrel bent mild steel with a "baked-thermo coating". They're made vehicle specific and are a straight bolt on item.

Have not seen the build quality yet as the order arrives early next week. From the reviews I've head from other people their stuff is pretty well OK and gives a noticeable improvement in performance. They claiman increase between 2 & 4 psi depending on existing boost pressure.

At $250 each I thought it was worth a try. If you're intrested I'll post a review after install.

Clinton,

Thanks for your imput, but the two pipes are not comparable.

I have actually got one of those all in one 3 inch dump pipes you are getting already on my car. I am taking it off and fitting a CES split dump pipe. Yes the pipes you are getting give a noticable increase and can be had for under $250 fitted, but I am after more power approx 10-15kwrw and better drivablity by fitting the CES split dump. The baked coating (paint) lasts about 1-2 months.

They can do 34GTT if someone wants one.

Would have to think you were getting a better unit for $300 extra. Just thought it is an affordable option to upgrade from standard.

Might bust the bank and get some heat wrap.

Darrin, can you possibly give a few weeks warning to when this will close so those who are late dont miss out, or set a cut off date.

Cars at the panelshop end of this week getting rear bar put on and front bar fixed, so ill try and pick the dump up asap in the next 2 weeks

    • I have copied the images in the original post from photobucket to the SAU servers to make sure they stay available.
    • Mate you saved be from dying in the Perth summer. AC wasn't changing direction and just going into diagnostics mode fixed it. You're a legend and I would shout you a beer if I could!
    • Unfortunately effort gone to waste, you will have substantial issues with how the manifold and wastegate have been integrated. You would be so much better off with a modified stock manifold like this: https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25detexgatedmanifold/   OR literally just getting a off the shelf Sinco or 6Boost manifold as myself and others have mentioned.  
    • Yuck. But it's kinda the same principle, moving timing around to make car run bad but sound good.... I went for a more spirited tuning drive to iron out a few things. Car no longer stalls, and it loved to dip RPM low when you clutch in. After tuning this (and the 4-5 tables that HPTuners/LS1 OEM ECU wants for idle air correction) it's now behaving somewhat normal. All expected because there's a new TB, new Intake manifold and that new TB which is 102mm vs 78... has an entirely different IAC passage which is smaller because ????? Unfortunately at this point I went to make further fine tuning changes to avoid it flaring up, you know... _tuning_ the HPTuners dongle died. Well to be more accurate - The USB cable died in a fashion that anyone who has ever charged a phone will recognize. After the app demanding I resync it 50 or so times (which all 'succeeded' but all failed) the device does not want to sync and I've logged a ticket with support to see if it's fixable. US Support said it was a 'storage issue' but after removing the SD card inside it and formatting it/fixing it the issue does persist. Unfortunately usually the fix is "Turn in your old dongle and pay $700 for the upgraded one" it's cheaper because I get some free licence credits I unfortunately don't need. However I'm 10 minutes down the road from HP Tuners AUS/VCM so at least I won't need to post it, and logged a new ticket for support over here. Definitely drives different. My SOTP dyno believes it's probably making 310-320kw instead of the 280 before.  It scrambles for traction a little now whereas it previously different. It drives like a bigger cam car up top even though the cam is smaller, likely due to the cam not being advanced 6 degrees. The timing is deliberately low and the fuel is very rich so who knows if this will improve on the dyno. It may, imperceptably. Also funny is removing the pineapples definitely makes the car squat more and axle tramp less. So this behavior of having more top end, squatting more, and scrabbling for traction more makes me think = more power. But I could have just been sitting on the threshold of that kind of behavior before. Time will tell if my butt dyno is calibrated right. I need the exhaust leaks fixed before dyno tune for obvious AFR related reasons - I repositioned the pipes but I'm not confident it's fully sealed even if it is better. At least the car does drive around while I cannot tweak/tune it for now. And I have aircon again. medium success!
