Project 'gozila'...

[N1GTR]

Thats exactly what Racepace told me when I asked them about building me a mines style front pipe with a 450awkw goal with my new engine. Bummer was that they couldnt make the pipe for me without me sending the car down to them though, seeing as all systems are custom made to fit.

Funny timing here.

Im having exactly that made up for my GTR, a Mines style front pipe in 2 x 3" leading to a 4" merge, its custom to accommodate the extra height. Is yours the same height as an RB30 block?

If so, it would work out perfectly for you as mines being used as a template. I can see about getting another one made up and ship it to you if you like.

is ben @ racepace making your exhaust?

[Marko R1]

Marko are you 100% sure the xforce front pipes are a true 3" into a true 3.5"?

i'll measure it with my vernier calipers to confirm

[N1GTR]

is ben @ racepace making your exhaust?

Nope, although i would happily have one from them

i'll measure it with my vernier calipers to confirm

Thanks for the offer but the spacer is only 20mm a stock RB26. I think RB30's are nearly 40mm taller.

I like your style too. Nothing will solve flow issues like a 4" front pipe!

You sound like someone else i know...

...remember these are street cars

[Marko R1]

yeah but imagine the sweet sound of twin 3inch pipes

who has done this in the past? any pics or sound clips?

[Marko R1]

actually, my brother has twin pipes on his gtr, its an 'n1' cat-back system, i think its 3inch as well.

factory engine & sounds very tough/poppy BUT i havent heard his engine kick over for way more than a year now hehe (dont ask)

[N1GTR]

I was talking last night about this, if the price isnt too bad, ive decided to make both exhausts and see which one ends up being better, then selling the other one (as they'll both flow huge numbers anyway)

There may be a BIG HP twin 3" RB30 on this Saturday's cruise

what/where is this sat cruise?

Oh yeah? And to think I was going to go to Wakefield instead.....if you confirm how much power is "BIG HP" that could persuade me to come along

....i have a thought who it may be, its auto or manual?

OK...VERY VERY BIG HP

Mark, it's the NSW:SAU Putty Rd Cruise.

Oh, and it's members only....but you can join on the day

PS, Steve, it is manually shifted

[Marko R1]

ok, just measured my front pipes & they're 2.75inch which merges into a 3.5inch pipe.

i spoke to westside mufflers & the cost is $2200 for a 4inch s/s system which also includes modifying the front pipe collector to a 4inch pipe...bit pricey i thought, any other workshops recommended?

I know its not your car hahaha

Your fronts are those xforce ones you were talking about?

I have the HKS ones, they're roughly the same size - id go check but no veniers

That price isnt that bad, but i know you can do better!

im not sure what they are, could be xforce or hks, how can i tell? could be hks to match the rest of the hks system, fark knows!

i called liverpool exhaust, custom 3inchfront pipes to merge into 4 inch all the way to rear is as follows:

- mild steel with ceramic coating (the whole thing) = 4k

- s/s (the whole thing) = $4400

- 4inch mild without front pipes = $2200 (westside is the same @ $2200 but its s/s)

he recommends i go mild steel with ceramic coating but to coat the entire thing is a bit of overkill, thoughts?

apparentely mild steel is more flexible for knocks & bumps, more suited for our great aust roads!

No, it's definitely not my car - it only made 411rwkw on 16 psi a few years ago now

Oh, and it's the Bells Line Of Rd Cruise, not Putty Rd (which is end of year). Same meet point though.

$2,200 is a bit steep. Last time I bought 4" 316 stainless it cost me $45-50 each bend. Exhausts would be 304 grade. I could get a twin 3" done for under $2,000.
