Hey all,

I'm making a full 3" exhaust for our Stagea and was wondering how many 180deg mandrel bends and straight pipe other people have used?

I'm doing it out of ally coated mild steel (I don't bother with stainless - personal preference), and starting with a new dump pipe (either split type or bell mouth).

No arguments with the whole mild vs stainless, just need to know material demands!

Cheers, Greg.

from memory, you'll need straight pipe only...The stagea exhaust system is fairly straight and has minimal to no bends at all.

what other parts of the exhaust do you have

I'm considering doing this myself...do you have any other parts other than the dump pipe

a picture tells a thousand words they say. i am not sure if that helps or not.

ps. mild steel sounds the best anyway.

Hey mate mind letting me in on what componants you have used there? i am looking to get an exhaust made up as well.

Cheers

it has changed a bit from what went on originally. the rear muffler is an X-force twin exit thing as it was cheap (ie 2nd hand and stealthy). the cat was changed to a 5" bodied catco.

the rest was made up by a local exhaust shop but later modified by richard (in the pic from uniqueautosports former brad jones racing guy i believe) due to the exhaust hanging too low.

so its a bitza.

    • 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).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
