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.

ummm merli. unless you are attaching them to the air purifier in your M3 then I think you have some splaining to do.... :D

confess me your sin brother.

Quick!!! Delete delete delete!!!

<waves hand in front of BB's face>

Merli: M3's need dump pipes too...

BB: :D:):O .............................. Hey mate.. Have you ever thought about buying some dump pipes for your car?

Merli: Yes young padwan....

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. :D

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.

hey thanks for info just picked up a set of tomei for $800NZ, how much are these pipes worth in australia, over in nz they are between $850-$1000NZ......(new)

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.

    • Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?
    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
