Hi all,

Just interested to know how much a custom 3 1/2 inch dump stainless steel on a stock manifold with a gt3076 should cost? So far been quoted $350, $550 and $800

so im wondering if the more expensive ones are any better or they're just over charging.

also if anyone knows a good fabrication workshop in brisbane ..

thanks

$800 for a dump pipe is rediculas, tell them to get f**ked.

May I ask what shops gave you what prices?

Quickspool said $350, Mazspeed was $750 i think cant remember now might of been $550, and EFI performance have said $900 for a himount and a bit cheaper for low mount,

Stainless will look pretty for about 2 days. Or 1 tuning session.

I would use mild steel and ceramic coat it or heat wrap it.

ah ok, my catback is stainless and years old, still looks ok,

but could do what you say because ill probably ceramic coat it eventually anyway, but what do you think it should cost??

1x 3.5 inch bend in stainless should only cost 30 or so bucks (you might need 2), I've just done a 3-3.5 inch dump in stainless for a mate and it cost $150 all up including flanges, extra bends with ext gate plumb back, , expander and straight pipe. I backpurge all stainless exhaust welding to help with longevity, happy to help you out if you want

sounds good, do you have any pics of it,

id be happy to pay you more than that for a quality dump pipe.:thumbsup:

Did have a photo somewhere of that one but must have deleted it. Here's a pic of one I did for a wrx couple of years ago (external gate, a little more involved), i'll be happy to knock something up to suit your budget- if you're keen, swing me a pm

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
