well guys....found a cheaper alternative, 350 cheaper. I got it dyno'd before and after. completely stock at 144.5rwkw to 169.0rwkw. Very happy with the result, and now on my way to 200rwkw.

Im not an expert but i think it has to do with back pressure so i was told, from experience with my car i had a 3.5" exhaust with a 5" tip hks cannon, the car makes 330 rwkw and it did have lag. The turbo didnt cut in til 4000rpm.

Changed it to a 3" pipe and smaller cannon, it feels more responsive quieter and the turbo cuts in at 3500rpm.

wrong wrong wrong

Turbo cars = bigger exhaust the better

There was something else wrong with your setup, it wasnt exhaust related, unless said exhaust had poor bends etc.

Hence im going twin ~2.75" for my setup and only after 300-330rwkw

let's just say i removed the cat but still had the cannon out the back (making the car seem normal and safe) but in true fact had a GAP in the exhaust so all id have was an aftermarket dump/front pipe then an empty space then the rest of the exhaust.. would i have extreme spooling and extreme kw increase?.. (apart from the loud noise)

Do you mean putting a replacement pipe in where the cat was?

there will be a minor gain possibly

ok let me re-explain... complete exhaust system is taken off... all that is left is the dump pipe and front pipe safely bolted on the bottom of the car

The car will be so illegal it wouldnt be funny.

Your NOT allowed to run a car with an exhaust that finishes that soon, it has to be past the rear pillar or whatever to pass the most basic exhaust requirements

Plus it will be that loud you wont get far without half the neighbourhood reporting you.

So dont expect "extreme spool, power increase"... expect the "extreme ass kick" local authorities will give you for being stupid

trust me... in perth we go for car cruizes all night and no1 looks 2wice to try an " extreme ass kick " on us.. im just curious if it would have an overall performance increase

i've been to perth actually and i saw a different view :(

Funny eh?

    • There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/
    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
