Does anyone know approx how much or where to buy turbo to cat exhaust?

I was told mine was turbo back but i had a look (should have done this before i actually bought the car) and its only cat back --> pointless

It is 3 1/2 cat back, does anyone know how much to complete this (turbo to cat?)

and if it is worthwhile doing that or just buying the complete turbo back setup?

Cheers

forget jastjap search ebay you can pick up a front pipe 3" for around 200 dollars delivered and the buy the dump pipes from jastjap for 400 or so total 600approx jast jap are selling the complete kit on ebay for 1000. save yourself some dollars.

now i have been told you only need 3 inch to the cat then 3.5 inch after becaues after the gasses cool down they need the extra .5" room to flow, thats what i have been told. i am open to any other suggestions or ideas on this one...my thought was as gasses heat up they expand as they cool they become denser

I've got a used 3" dump and a 3" titanium front pipe available if you dont want to spend alot. Why did I remove them??

Can't tell a lie I removed them to install a Batmbl one piece split dump/front pipe...very nice and great value.

if you are talking about r32/r33 gtst dump pipe and front pipes, then i sell them for $395 (mild steel) and $450 (stainless steel). much cheaper than any of the options above.

these are the split wastegate systems, not the ones with a single large hole at the dump. it is a dump pipe and a front pipe in one piece, not 2 seperate parts which will require an extra gasket and a possible future exhaust leak at that point on the exhaust.

the wastegate pipe on the split dump pipe (2 piece systems) is too short to be effective in reducing turbulence. you need at least 35-40cm seperation before they re-join.

im in a similar situation as you, stock dump/front and huge cat back exhaust. had a look around and saw BATMBL's pipe. looks just as good as any other and got him to ship one to me just last week. will hopefully be getting it put on this week.

honestly i was quite surprized at the quality. i was so excited i showed my mate and even he was amazed at what i got for the price i paid. i cant wait to get it on!

    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
