Are ya talking bout the hat thingo on top of the pipe? If that wat ya talking bout, i think its to stop water, birds, crap etc goin into the exhaust. Meh not totally sure on that.

Engine brake is usually further back up the line i think?

i think its to help with engine braking as when they back off the juice it shuts and creates pressure in the exhaust to restrict the engine from reving high.
Engine brake creates more exhaust gases, thus opens the hat :D.

jrocket is pretty much spot on.

To stop anything from going down the pipe..

That is all!!!!!!!!!!!!

Engine brake is further down the piping towards the muffler, got nothing to do with the flap attached to the end of the exhaust.

Such a bizarre question....

I've alwys wondered why they have them. Above reasons make sense. But doesn't explain why I've seen them on country utes (a particular VY saw the other week comes to mind) with dual pipes sticking (horizontally) out the back with flaps??? It can't be for looks, cus it looked stupid lol

Rednecks........................

need i say more :D

if u look at a truck exzorst, it goes str8 down to the turbo, some have mufflers an some have str8 thru systems, now if it rained which way would the water run an were do u think it will end up..

ok b4 some makes a new thread about my question, the rain goes down the exzorst and into the turbo..

so some smart redneck decided to put a flap on the top to stop water and shit f*kin the turbo up...

EDIT: im pretty sure it wasnt a redneck that designed the flap..

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
