It's not a question of performance.

Same shit.

You NEED a flex pipe to absorb movements in and around the exhaust system.

This eat's up stress that would otherwise be put on exhaust manifolds, exhaust mountings and so on.

id go with the cheaper one with the flex joint aswell.

and with all cheapy stuff the jigs they use are often not rite. so with the flex you have that extra margin for error. just make sure you have the g box exhaust hanger fitted..

Indeed it could pose a problem.

Get things hot enough, they can warp and so on with too much weight.

Could warp flanges and so on. Extra stress on manifold bolts and the like.

I've seen a turbine housing actually twisted due to similar issues with heat/weight (was circuit, 400rwkw+ setup though)

It does happen, my Exhaust hsg warped and I had to replace the hsg

Does any one want to group buy in it??? Ill also purchase one and gaskets to suit if any ones keen, Im going to replace my stock Nissan exhaust and Add a 3inch kakimoto racing pipe behide This GKTECH RB25DET Front/Dump pipe http://www.gktech.com.au/front.asp?pid=11&...uctID=R323-FRDU

^^ about that. i have no gbox to exhaust support on my system. its a stainless turbo back with no flex pipe.

can it be a problem?

i would have one put on there, my dad's snapped off from the back of the turbo!

Lol, saw them on ebay and decided on buying 2 for the RB26dett

also found cheap same-priced 3" turbo dump pipes, so paid for 2 of those as well.

Will merge the 2 gktech's into 1 3" outlet, inlieu of cat-converter pipe, to mate up to the 5zigen cat-back I have

:)

yeh - whys that - wont they work (ie bolt on) ?

I thought they did. . .

or are you saying they are crud.

to be used only a few times per yr on a R32 track-sedan

the rb26 engine will be rebuilt in a couple of years time after some Mallala sessions, and go into my Stagea

Ive bought a GKtech front split pipe and put my exhaust on overall it feels like i cant get my auto to tramp it as much down low it could be because im not catching the revs properly with my right foot. But about 3 grand till red line i do notice a fair bit more pull (Note i'm running a stock rb25 turbo) Just a lame arse question what size are these baby snails are the a T2 or T25 size or something all i know is there bloody small compared to my T04e i have in the cupboard. Im not game enough to put on my Ebay t04e snail on my car lol

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
