Hi All,

I am about to purchase a cat back exhuast and i also was thinking of upgrading my front and dump pipes..

Do you really need to upgrade both for max power gains or just the Front Pipe?

All input and opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Harry :D

Front pipe first.

Wait till you upgrade turbos, then change dumps at same time.

Ok cool, so i guess what your saying is the power gains from stock gtr turbos with a new dump pipe will be minimal..?

The only thing is that i was thinking of running 1 bar of boost(which apparently my turbos can handle comfortably?)

If i were to run 1 bar of boost does this mean that i should conider purchasing a dump pipe to ensure better air flow and longer life of turbos?

Cheers.

front pipes are alot easier to change.

what infamous_t is saying wait till you change your tubos coz you have to take off the turbos to change the dumps.

and changing the turbos aint exactly a 5min job

Gotcha, thanks guys.

I guess i am just worried that a turbo back exhaust system wont increase power that much without the dump pipes..

Do you think that i will notice a big power difference if i just upgrade the front pipes and cat back exhaust?

Anyone have experience with before and after?

Thanks again.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
