Gtr Dump Pipes

[Cooper]

Does anyone know the pipe diametre of the Tomei dumps where they connect to the front pipe? And the distance between the bolt holes (centre to centre). I need to know if it will fit up to my aftermarket Do-Luck exhaust i have waiting at home for my turbo swap.

I have Tomei dumps also.

I used those Trust long front/dump combo pipes before and wont do that again.

HKS are good looking dumps too.

i curious to know why wont use the trust pipes again?

personally i'd rather the trust pipes compared to the hks however.. if i had my way i'd prolly go tomei's but than again i dunno.. wat size are the tomei pipes?

your jedi tricks are powerless on me andrew. I can smell that empty space in your wallet a mile away. good to see you back in a cheap yet stupidly expensive car.

syslink, don't know if it was me that said that, but yes it is true. keeping the heat in the pipe does fatigue it. but it's good for performance in a few ways. it can be bad on mild steel especially as the wrap can retain moisture and cause the pipe underneath the rust out. as for whether or not it's a good idea, it's a 50/50 call. I have done it before though. ceramic coating is better but costs more.

the tomei pipes are far bigger than the HKS ones. the HKS outlet it only around 60-65mm the tomei one is 75mm maybe even a touch bigger. the HKS ones are also not finished very nicely inside. the tomei ones are finished very well.

the trust ones are good, but again, not finished all that well inside. plus they are very heavy, and hard to fit, and expensive. I think that is why sewid went tomei this time.

HKS dumps for me

Tomei dumps look similar to the stock R34 GTR's

Anyone know what sort of price to pay for the Tomei items? and where from with a reasonably quick delivery time ie not months

[Merli]

What's with the Tomei bandwagon in this thread?

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the HKS or Trust dump pipes

[Cooper]

^^^ Im only going for the Tomei items cause i know they will fit my larger size front pipes where the HKS items wont

That's about right.

What's that?........................ about.................... AUD$3.30?

I put trust pipes on mine. Mine were very well finished off inside, but I got them modified so I could bolt the turbo support on to them like the factory ones. And I had the engine out of the car (and they were still a pain to fit), but I recon they're great.

Tomei porn:

[SLIPPERY]
