HKS Split Dump Pipe... for series 1 or 2?

[damuscat]

Just received a second hand HKS split dump pipe that I bought for an R33 gts-t. Silly me didn't realise before I bought it that HKS have different part numbers for the R33 dumps for Series I and II

From hunting around I've found out that these are the part numbers...

1418-RN010 1/95~5/98 (Series II R33)

1418-RN008 9/93~12/94 (Series I R33)

Now.... I've got the dump pipe but it's got no identification marks on it. How can I tell if it's the RN010 or the RN008? Does anyone know the obvious differences?

Oh.. and no the person I got it off doesn't know He just sold it to me. I really want to avoid having to pull the exhaust system off just to find out that it doesn't fit!

Any info appreciated.

they should be the same anyway dont see why they wouldnt be.. but yes it is funny that they show a different part number from hks

[Wazz]

simple tho.. if you have a s1 and it fits? assume its the s1 part number if not.. it gotta be s2

I have a series 2. Don't really want to pull everything off though just to "try" it for fit 'cause if it doesn't it's going to be rather annoying.

it should fit.. i cant see how there can be so much difference between series 2 and series 1 but i cant understand why hks have 2 different part numbers...

maybe they are the same pipes just different gaskets?

Well I've looked at mine, then looked at another HKS split dump that was sold on the forums last year. They look almost identical, bends and flanges look the same. BUT, there is one difference and it's just the location of the o2 sensor hole. :confused:

If anyone currently has pics of a HKS split dump for comparison they would be much appreciated.

haha this happened to me when i got my dump they sent me up the wrong one, i put the stock one an the new one together an thought thats weird so i tried to fit it, an the bottom of the pipe was facing the engine.

i sent it back an got a hks copy split pipe instead, much better not restrictive as the stock one

Thanks for the info buzzin.

When you ordered your HKS one did you by any chance get any pics of it, and also what Series R33 where you trying to put it on?

At least now I know that it's not possible to fudge in the wrong pipe.. ie trying to put in a HKS series I dump into a Series II.
