hey all,

well my r32 seems to have a bit of a funky exhaust. i think its safe to say its a 3inch cat back, while getting a bit bigger towards the tip. it looks quite small up off the back of the turbo, so im looking to make that a bit bigger and have a full turbo back 3inch (at least anyhow).

my question is, can i just take the car to an exhaust shop and tell them 'i want three in from here back', or do i need to buy a certain dump pipe of brand name X? as ive heard of people having different branded dump/front pipes, is there any certain rocket science to them?

thanks in advance..

s.

Guess you havent searched in here before? Theres a thread right next to this one about CES dump pipes that I am surprised you missed - and a HEAP of other threads about them.

U've got a few options... but first need to decide if you want a split or single set-up... split has reputed better performance, but is about double the price at $550 upwards (more if u coat it etc). Single pipes are much cheaper from around $300.

Once you decide there's a few options:

- get an exhaust shop u trust to do up a custom job of either single or splits (more shops likely to only do singles)

OR

- pay a bit more for a brand name single (eg HKS from Nengun; Blitz; a few others)

OR

- get CES to do you the best split system going around - they can post em to you and just get them fitted or have a go at it yourself.

Prob more options, but that'll do ya... if you've got the extra couple of hundred $ go with the CES splits. If not - then do a search on here for the name BATMBL - selling both options - cheap single and split front pipes with happy customers.

:D

    • Yea the photos aren't the best. When I was pulling the bumper and headlights out there was a bodyshop guy looking on for it, there is a slight bend behind where the passenger headlight is, but we're talking a few MM and there is a little bit of a bend for the reo. That said it's supposedly well within the "Drill a hole in it and pull it out with a slide hammer to be close enough" and be on our way. The other option is to buy a GTR reo for the GTR bumper bits but this is a $2000+ fix for something Mr Hammer can probably do 99% of the job for and everything will/can line up pretty closely-to-good-enough.
    • That's a write off for sure... Part out? 😛 I kid. It looks like the rad support has a minor minor bend in it too where the rep support sits near. Could just be the photos (and me not wearing my glasses right now). Worst case is you can buy a new radiator support, have it swapped over, and leave the car in paint jail for 12 to 18 months while you build the motor to handle twin turbos or a Harrop SC...
    • It seems the definition of "Gregging" something might need to be expanded?
    • This is why I suggested that there is really nothing that can safely be done in the engine bay at this budget level. Just the work to reassure yourself that the engine won't instantly crap itself the moment the boost gets turned up will wear out the piggy bank long before the first turbo gets installed. Spend $10k and still not have any extra performance? My tip is a version of our standard advice from 15 years ago about buying a GTR, which is not to buy one unless you can afford to buy two. The new version is not to modify a GTR unless you have all the funds required to do it all at once, properly, and enough to rebuild it after it blows up.
    • Oh, I forgot to mention this before.  It is accepted that your taking on risk buy turning up the power on a 30 year old stock motor. You can lower the risk with the ECU engine protection, but this is more money on sensors. CAN wideband, oil temp, oil pressure, coolant pressure, fuel pressure, air temp, etc. It adds up quick.  I am a huge fan of running all of the engine protection the ECU offers. You'll have to decide for yourself how you want the engine protection setup and what you think is worth monitoring.
