Dump+front Pipe

[gotRICE?]

Yeh i was thinking it wouldn't make a big difference. I'm gonna stick with a split dump. Just wanna pick a good all rounder.

Thanks mate, i'm interested. If it's a great bit of kit then its a steal. I need convincing cheaper=better

Yeah its a pretty good price, so ill have a good inspection of it before it goes on.

I always thought that x-force stuff wasnt the greatest, iv seen a set of their headers, and shit. The S/S is paper thin!! Build quality looks great tho, and in this case, the x-force is more expensive. We will see.

Got mine from bos importing.

I ordered one from there and they delivered an AM Performance one so you might wanna call them and see if they can do one for you. I'd recommend this pipe, had a mild tanabe cat-back on before the front/dump and hi-flow cat went in. Is very quiet at idle and when you give it some stick, opens up and has that wicked raw RB sound

As i said in my post, AM performance dump's would have to be the best in aust.... and no where near the price of a CES one.

Hey,

Got my Split Dump/Front from JustJap earlier this week and went about attacking it at home.

The build is really good, the photos on the page dont do it any justice (hint.. change them )

So anyway.. my thoughts.

The two problems i encountered, although minor, now i figured out what i need to do means unbolting it again.

1st problem, is one of the bottom nuts on the flange wouldnt fit. The pipe is fat, and bends qucikly out of the flange stealing the room needed to put the

nut back on. Silly me bolted it up anyway thinking id get a mte to fix it

Lying in bed.. DOH, if i had the nut in place on the flange while sliding it on, it would have worked. So simple fix, but being bolted up it means i have to do

it again I didnt get any exhaust leaks, so ill wait till i get on a hoist. Its a pain using the scissor jack and stands haha.

Problem 2, is the wastegate pipe touches the turbo water feed.

It not ony touches it but you actually have to push it up to get the dump pipe to fit. In turn, pushing it up also pushes it against the manifold shield.

A quick solution is bending it out the way, i did try this, but f**k me that line is strong! And i dont want to break it off the turbo personally.

Again i will get my mate to have a play as he is RB king. Might even replace it with a braided line so i can put it where i see fit.

It will be ok temporarily, but constant rubbing and vibration it will eventually wear through.

Sorry about the asshat image. My camera is odd sometimes.

As i suspected i didnt feel a great deal of difference. It sounds a bit cleaner than it used to on boost. And for the price, its great

I'm using the batmbl (bosimporting) split dump + front and its a good piece of gear.

If you compare the wastegate piping with the JJR one and the batmbl one you can see that the JJR one has a pretty tight 90degree bend in it whereas the batmbl one has a gentler bend.

Probably wouldn't make TOO much of a difference at said power levels but either way, straighter piping would flow better.

+1 for BOS import pipes.

Not criticising anyones pipes , I like the idea of a dump pipe that bolts to the engine pipe because with the 3 bolts/nuts removed you could very likely lift the turbo and dump pipe out as an assembly .

These Hitachi turbos are pretty tight around the dump fasteners and it would make life easy to fit and remove them on the bench . Once the turbo/dump is on the engine fitting the engine pipe up should be same as std .

Just my thoughts , cheers A .
