Matt from Daalder rang me the other day about where i got the dump; was that for you, McCracken?

Nah, I did enquire about them a week ago, but haven't ordered anything as yet. Back to re-assessing the options. One funny thing I found the Dandenong operation (Daadler) has no idea of what I was talking about re the Skyline pipes - which is a pity because they are much closer to me.

BATMBL can get some combo pipes and cats pretty cheap (see the for sale thread), so there's another option there now. I'm guessing if I went this option any local exhaust shop could fit it for me easily enough? (I don't want to try with the ramps!).

Does anyone know if need a new cat as well when I get the front pipe (due to the different flange size)? or is it simple to modify my existing cat?

Cheers,

David.

OK....

I've bought one of BATMBL's 3" CAT's and i beleve its on its way now through Aust Post.....

The Dump + Front Pipe is mandrel bent + mild steel all for approx $180 (though now i think of it I think I'm sure I was quoted $160)...

I'm getting it made by some exhaust place in Airport West - Professional Exhaust (i think) so I don't have any photos...

I work mate has been to this place before and he highly recommends them.....

I plan to goto this place in 2 weeks to get the exhaust made up/fitted so maybe we could both go together and maybe get a discount??

Yeah, BATMBL does have some good prices on the cats. For the price, I'll think I'll go one.

Why didn't you take him up on his combo dump+front pipes? $160-80 sounds very cheap (perhaps too cheap?), Nizpro wanted $385 to make a custom stainless front pipe. A laser cut alone is aparantley $50-60, and imagine how ;) you'd be if it rattled or bumped, etc.

Depending on how others go with there purchases from BATMBL (where are those pictures? :P ), I think one of his combo pipes and a cat sounds like my best option. Airport West is quite far for me, although if u do go ahead with it would be keen to hear your results.

FYI SydneyKid recommends to go stainless in these pipes as mild steel would wear too quickly.

McCracken, I think stainless is good for the dump as it has better high temp resistance, but they can crack. I can't remember what grade doesn't crack... inasnt, wanna help us out on this one?

Just a note also, bear in mind that cost is one thing; i would much rather spend the extra 20/30/40 bucks if it guarantees that the flanges are flat, it doesn't touch the body, doesn't rattle etc etc. That is mainly the reason i got a jap exhaust. This is not to say the local product is no good, just look at inasnt's exhaust - custom made and fine.

it was just the front pipe......i think he quoted me 230 or something like that for the combination front/dump in same material and like 280 for stainless. honestly those quotes are from memory (which is prettty bad) so dont quote me on it....hehe....but they were good prices though.

impressions.....looks good....fits nice....no noticable change in exhaust note surprisingly just a tad more grunty. alot more smoother/easier acceleration from stand still and down gearing. havent had a chance to fang it to see the difference in mid/top range, holdin off for cooler weather to do that.

i was goin to get the combo pipe but figured id have to get it modified if and when i put a bigger turbo in so i figured id keep the dump and front pipe separate and change the dump when the time comes.

note that i still have my standart cat so im expecting better things to come when i get the hi flow cat.

get stainless steel 304, it wont crack easily. 314 or high will crack under extreme heat. 314 is marine grade steel.

If they r selling cheap stuff check it isent 301 stainless that stuff shit as and is a mix of stainless and some other cheap materials

Havn't got anything yet...the CAT is on its way and as soon as it arrives I'll make a booking with Performance Exhausts...

Might go for the Stainless steel pipes now rather than mild steel................

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.

      Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
