I called two places today to get quotes on a 3" mild steel front/dump pipe and s/steel high flow cat fitted (r33 gts-t) and i got two different quotes.. $900 from mettams and $620 from carline grapnel. Any ideas why there might be such a difference in price for similar things?

Apparently the mettams cat is a pacemaker and the carline one is a magnaflow. i'm just going to go with carline obviously!!

yeah those prices do include fitting

i figure it's going to be $200 for dump pipe and $200 for high flow cat from JJR = $400 + shipping + i wouldnt have a clue how to fit it so i'd have to pay for fitting too... just be easier to get it all fitted in a shop :)

Edited by dnbosiris

guess carline is the go, ill get a address for you of my mate where he got his front/dump and hi flow cat done

heard it was really good price. so will send u a PM once i get it.

Or you could just give me the money for the quote, ill go get the gear you want and fit it...lol... its really easy dude, ya nanna could do it eh!

Just get the front pipe and dump from jap parts plus, then get someone from here to fit it for you... shit i just lost my job, id be more than happy to fit it!

I actually ended up picking up an x-force front/dump and high flow cat from Prestige exhaust in malaga, and tenagah are fitting it for me tommorow :P

how much was the front/dump and high flo cat? how much for installation?

cheers mate

cheers mate

picked up the front/dump and cat for $435 and tenagah charged me 2 hour labor for installation.

was very impressed with tenagah's price & service - highly recommended!! will def be going back there.

can definitely notice the difference in power & torque, very happy with it.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
