Willalls have made one for me but havent had chance to get it fitted yet.

When I drove Keirs I didnt think the drone was too bad, but I didnt drive it around that much.

It isnt bad enough to want to pull it off is it?

I have fitted one as well........... I agree with GGTTRR the Willall Pipe sounds awesome under power, however, I would have to say there is a bit of drone around 2k rpm when you are using partial throttle (more so when you are in 4th, 5th or 6th).

Still when you hear the sound it makes when you are changing down though the gears (with the blip) nothing much else matters.

I wuold fit it (really quick job) and try it, you can alwasy replace with oem if you don't like it.

And no I won't be pulling mine off

Cheers

Is anyone in Qld with one of these mid pipes willing to meet up to help me decide if this is the right product for me?

Challenge Street Spec Y pipe : good quality pipe, no drone, good gains. AU$1050 landed at your door.

Thats good to see.

The WR35MP Willall Racing Midpipe made in Australia by Australian Fabricators (not China) using high grade stainless, full length flex joints, TIG welding, and featuring our internal deflector plate to dampen noise without adding the restriction of a muffler(s) is $800 on your doorstep. Great comparison

Ausie aussie aussie.

even if slightly more expensive id prefer to purchase the local product.

Thanks DiRT!

Great to hear, this pipe is also one of the most popular and consistent re: INDEPENDENT dyno results Stateside :D

There are a couple of reasons for this. The first is that we use a reversion 'stub' in the pipe inlet to promote turbulent rather than laminar air flow the moment the exhaust enters the pipes. Secondly is we use the diffuser in the Y section which is a carefully calculated length of flat plate that in effect balances the resonance and noise of the system. In other words we can have the same db reading as a lightly muffled system without the restriction, weight, and expense of adding 'cans' to the system. Thats the difference, we like to engineer stuff with a solid thought process rather than just make something that looks cool and shiny :down:

Very nice! Challenger is designed and QA in the US, fabricated in South Korea, not China.

It has two resonators on the Street Spec and no resonators on the Race Spec, which looks similar to the above, with shorter flex joints, wider Y-Collector, same power delivery as Street Spec but louder.

I would pay $250 more to guarantee no cruising speed drone, as it would drive me mad and force to remove it and flog it on ebay for half the price.

These pipes are polished so they look a bit better finished, not that it will matter much to most.

Ha Ha. Yes I had the Willall midpipe fitted today & my wife is well pleased with the extra girth & increased thrust.

I have done just over 1000 kays with the stock system & I love the new midpipe. It sounds almost the same on start up & idle but when you put the boot in it sounds much better & feels like a real performance car. Very pleased.

I was concerned it might drone a bit but have not noticed much difference at all at cruise speeds. It only seems to make the sweeter noise when you are on the throttle & that is exactly what I wanted.

The WRX STI that I dusted off this afternoon seemed to agree with me on the noise factor. He just loved the sound & made sure to let me know at the next set of lights!!!

I was lucky enough to be able to do back to back noise testing today as I was able to cruise up the Gorge this morning & again this evening (for those not from SA this is one of the best "hammer" roads in the state with lovely sweeping bends & cambers up in the Adelaide hills) & the increased engine note is fantastic.

Full marks Willall. Great product. Great price. Anyone else out there that hasn't got one of these fitted yet - dont hesitiate. As Dirt Said....... Aussie Aussie Aussie.

Yes, I was amazed by the difference the middpipe made to your car.

And you are a top bloke for sharing your R35 experience with me. There's too many pretenders out there that are all talk.

And credit to Willalls for contributing to the experience with their best.

Is anyone in Qld with one of these mid pipes willing to meet up to help me decide if this is the right product for me?

If you are around the Sunshine Coast at all give me a call and you can have a listen.

Cheers

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
