I'm looking to upgrade my exhaust (currently stock) to something a little meatier. I've opted for Turboback, cos I figure if I'm gonna do it, I might as well do it right. I've had a look at a few options from complete systems, to purchasing components. During my search I have notice single tube dump pipes and dual tube dump pipes. Could someone please explain to me what the difference is? I've tried researching but to no avail.

go for the dual one that rejoins further down. either just the dump or a dump/frontpipe combo. that shiny one there is a screamer if im not mistaken and is also illegal. separated pipes has something to do with increasing airflow effficency and reducing turbulance i think.

A bigger system altogether increases flow.

The dump pipe design itself determines turbulance. Introducing the wastegate pipe further down the dump pipe claims to be better for turbulance.

+1 for the poorly aligned flanges.

Bought a jjr split dump/front pipe for my 33 & had to get the flange cut off & welded back on to fit.

But is well worth the extras 50 bucks :D

I have one of the JJR split dumps and it bolted up perfectly. Maybe someone fudged it up in manufacturing.

Only problem i had was one of the turbo flange bolts is rather teedious to do up. Takes some thinking to even get it on. Ha.

Other than that its great.

If you had a good look at it you would notice the overlap of the flange (read restrictions). They bolt up with varied levels of difficulty due to the poor manufacture (some easy some less so) but, hey what do you expect for $250?

HKS make split dump pipes and yes they 'can' work. Importantly they need to be well made to start with.

Yah i see what you mean. Maybe i got lucky with mine, as a far as i could see the flanges mated up pretty well.

And also, the $250, i agree totally, when i bought it, it was more of a trial for the price. As i was going to go for the HKS split one, and the HKS front pipe.

But seeing as the JJR one cost less (shipped to NZ) than the HKS front pipe did alone, not to mention shipping AND the cost of the HKS dump, i thought it was worth the gamble. And in my case, it paid off :sleep:

Not sure what car your putting this onto, but i picked up a split dump pipe for my R34 from Bosimporting which is one of the traders from here and its excellent. The guy from the exhaust place that fitted it commented that it was a nice piece of gear. maybe worth checking out their site which i think is www.bosimporting.com.au . also the they have pretty competitively priced cats which are excellent as well.

split dump is designed to separate wastegate gas form exhaust turbine outlet gas,thus reducing the turbulence and increasing flow,but we arent all made of money so it really comes down to you mate,how much do you want to spend?,i just use the standard dump on my 180 and its perfect,same for the 33,but it just depends on your plans for the car,the power gains arent that significant that i would worry about changing the dump on a daily streeter.if that makes any sense to you..

Thanks for everyone's responses/info. Very helpful. I'm only new to the whole "Car Enthusiast" thing so I'm learning as I go. I recently purchased an R33 (all stock standard) and that was the beginning of a whole new passion. In response to the quote, the only reason that I'm not sure how far I'd like to go, is that have no idea how far I can go. So my plan evolves as my knowledge increases. I'm not the type of person to do things in half measures so if I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it right. So I don't mind spending money on quality. I presume that I'll be modifying more as time goes on, so I figure I need to do things that allow for further upgrades.

Hey Mx Pwr,

My Fanny was right, the stainless split dump in the picture you supplied has the wastegate gases venting into the atmosphere (aka a screamer) which is highly allegal and annoyingly noisy. Anyway, I have used both setups on my 33 and I'd recommend using the split-pipe for sure and just get a dump pipe that will piggy back off the back of the split.

And if you're replacing the stock pipe you should notice a slight increase in boost as well =)

Not meaning to hijack this thread, but someone in a import car parts shop said that I'm better off changing my cat and cat back system before i do the front/dump pipe and cat first. I always thought start from the turbo back right? Money or lack there off is making me do these mods in 2 stages. Car is a stock S2 Stagea.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
