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.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
