HKS dump pipes and front pipe

[nissaner]

r they good?

i am in the market for dump + front upgrade.

i've looked around taka kaira website and found front pipe, but couldn't find "dump" pipes.. but they have dump pipe looking thing called "extension kit" in wastegate section.

can anyone confirm that these r actually what we call dump pipes in australia? (got a email from taka kaira, and the guy who sent me an email said he's never heard of the term "dump pipes" in japan.. apparently no-one uses that word in japan...)

Thank you

just try and describe it to him in an email, just tell him the connection between the front pipe and turbo, or something like that

[nissaner]

its this one.

in australia thats what they are called, although some people call them something else (slipped my mind now) but they are called dump pipes

[skyline33]

actually some people i think they call them turbo extension pipe or something like that

[nissaner]

yup, they r listed as extension kit, so the ones in the pictures r dump pipes?

THANK YOU!

[skyline33]

yep

how do you tell whether a front pipe is street legal or not... some front pipe from certain brands require you to remove your cat but some other brands are only up to where the cat is so you can still use your cat and not doing something illegal

rs73 you need a cat 10k fine with out one so not worth it.

I know the hefty fine running ur car without a cat...

Are all the front pipes by HKS/Apexi/Trust removes the cat or not?

If they do, then they can only be used for circuit racing only, right...?
