front pipe qu..

[raz0r$harP.UK]

Hi,

I want to upgrade my exhaust..3 inch turbo back, hiflow cat, etc.. Probably going to get a Trust one. Anyway just wondering if someone can give me some answers about dump / front pipes - are they the same thing or different?

As an example, on the Unique Autosports exhaust page for 33s (http://www.nismo.com.au/pricelists/skyline...%20exhausts.htm), they have dump/engine pipes combined, but also separate dump pipes.

If I was looking at something like the Trust MX front pipe, would I need to also get a separate dump pipe?

Cheers.

Ok a dump pipe goes from the turbo towards the ground. It connects to the front pipe which in turn connects to the Cat.

Some people make front/dump pipe combos (like mine from CES) which is one piece from the turbo to the cat.

how much did that front pipe from CES cost you Adam?

i heard they make a good bit of gear...i know some SR20 owners who have yielded better results with the CES front pipe than a HKS front pipe....

Heaps. I'd say bang for buck, probably not worth it. Pure quality no questions as to cost, well worth it.

under $700 delivered to me HPC coated, perhaps a little noisier but I got boost at the same time as fitting it unfortunately for comparisons however my top end just sings now where it was a little choked.

under bonet temps are lower that's probably the HPC it's a $150 option.

I got a open air wastegate outlet pipe, and three inch dump....

the increase was phenominal.... more torque, heaps better response....

1 problem with open air wastegate..... the noise... it's loud proud and really rude when it opens...

Great for the track but really loud for the street, i plan to plumb it back in to the pipe douwn near the CAT to try and lessen the turbulance....

Pm BATMBL here on the forums or check his post in the for sale area. He is able to provide all in one dump/front pipes.

I got one and am very happy with it.

Ok, one more question - just say I got something like the Trust MX front pipe. Would I then need to get a dump pipe attachment?

[Abo Bob]

Yes.

or if you are tight on cash, purchase a dump pipe first, then a front.

more performance gains are to be had when you install a dump pipe as opposed to a front pipe. there's a thread somewhere explaining this. do a search if you want.
