ahh sorry i should have explained better, yeah upgrading from the stock dump is a good idea. but i rekon changing from a 2.5" dump to a 3" will do stuff all. there is no back pressure required on a turbo car, there is already enough there supplied by the turbo :)

if the pipe is TOO big, especially off the back of the turbo, then the air wont flow away from it, it will come out the back and 'billow' around and create flow problems. the air is still hot and expanded already, so velocity is required (more so) to move it away from the back of the turbo faster, as it cools, i guess it doesnt matter, its waste anyway........

any one know if there are tuned length headers available for a VQ25DET?? i got some wicked spool times when i changed my manifolds on SR20s

Haven't come across them yet.

In fact, I haven't come across many heavily modified VQ25DET's.

i guess there isnt much room in there to play anyway. plus it will generate more under-bonnet heat too........... hmmmm

mmm under-bonnet heat....

I do like Masa's partial solution to the heat issue with the externally venting front quarter panels.

Dolphin made a vented CF bonnet, but I think that productions ceased on that a while ago...

Don't forget that the right manifold is coming around the back of the block between the fire wall and joining the left manifold at the turbo.

It would be very difficult to tune the length too much unless you go twin turbo.... Now there is an idea...

Ahh yes.. TT. An idea that has been kicked around in my head for a while.

Would need pretty decent $$$$$'s to do it and, preferably, another intake box on the left of the engine as well as 2 return piping FMIC's... ooh yeah

actually would it REALLY be all that much work. after thinking about it, just a dual input FMIC and piping from the turbo to suit might do it. i mean besides all the exhaust manifold piping etc and the turbo mounting, oil and water lines, exhaust..... a lot of work, but possible!

lol. Anything is possible with the right $$$'s and expertise

Very noice.....

and if I may ask, what did that cost you? Also, which of the XForce Mufflers is that one?

Much as with my R33, the fake trims on the dual pipes is starting to get to me, different is that with the R33, a swap to a full GT-R cat-back with proper dual pipes was only $120 and 1 hours work fitting it away..

is it loud?

It's got a nice tone, real V6ie sort of noise, actually same as the big apexi but quieter. I was told it was legal ( < 95 Db's) ...and it indeed passed rego inspection yesterday.

It still sounds nice, actually I can hear my turbo and intake sucking air more clearly now and the BOV sounds louder too :)

Understandable.

Have you noticed that in the case of the OE "dual" pipe muffler, only one of the pipes is actually spitting out gasses?

The other is just for "show".

Fark!!! Just checked...

Only the outside one is connected to anything!! I feel cheated.. :P

At least the OEM R33 GTS-T muffler was a genuine twin outlet.

On the plus side, a new muffler, now counts as a performance mod, rather than just a cosmetic change... :P

    • Or the brand new throwout may be unhappy...
    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
