An exhaust will only flow as much as it's weakest link. In your case your cat might be cactus. Also consider the muffler, it may be a restriction as well.

There is little point to changing parts of your exhaust and leaving restrictive parts in.

Maybe think about investing in a new 3" hiflow cat (buy one from BATMBL in these forums).

My car got here dead stock, it was the same way when it left the factory showroom nothing had been changed. First thing I did was fit a 3.25" exhaust system from the cat back (and I have a shitty 2.5" cat, cheap compliance cat put in) and immediately we gained 15kw @ wheels and the exhaust note changed immensley. The car was much quicker, free-reving and boost jumped a little bit. Its not a huge gain in the scheme of things but its the first thing I would change on any car if I was looking for more power as stock exhausts are made for quiteness not flow.

When you say "flared" do you mean they chopped the ends off and converted it to a 3" cat? Or they just made an adapter for it to fit the 3" exhaust? If it's the latter, then your exhaust is effectively the same size as it was before.

Either way you should probably replace it with a new high flow cat. They can become blocked and restrictive with age.

from the seat of the pants feel.....it doesnt surprise me in the slightest.

same with my front mount i/c, i didnt feel a thing.

same with front pipe and dump pipe....nadda!

but when they all came together with boost and powerfc install and tune...yeah, made a big difference....

i dont' think u can feel like a 10kw diff... like franks said ... do the others and u will feel the difference :D

Sorry the peak gain was 18kw, it went from 97kw to 115kw @ wheels. You can definately feel it because the midrange improvement from fitting a free flowing exhaust is huge. Boost comes on quicker and slightly higher and the car revs out faster I could definately feel the difference.

Not sure as the boost wasnt measured. Probably 1-2 psi... nothing major. stock boost is limited to around 5-6psi so possibly rose to 8psi.

boost is everything man! 0.1bar = 10rwkw or thereabouts :D

a free flowing exhaust will improve gas flow and as a result allow your engine to breathe better and hence run more boost - naturally :)

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
