Lol, you believe a youtube sound clip? That is obviously not just swapping the front pipes. It's the mufflers that change the note, not the pipes.

I agree, it makes little difference to the price, although there are many more bends and you will be sacrificing flow for this equal length nonsense. I like to tuck my systems up, not have them hanging down lower. Each to their own I guess.

This was Daz's car, he already had a twin 3 inch system, I am just making it work with the taller block.

I have done a few twin 3 into 4 inch systems, usually tapering back to 3.5 at the mid muffler.

I can post sound clips of mine....

Same exhaust, only thing i changed was a JJR unequal length pipe to the Fujitsubo equal length.

Exhaust note was very different.....

shit yeah let me hear the Fuji front pipe

My Racepace twin three inch with equal length front pipes sounds nothing like that. The only place it merges is at the rear diff to sneak past it.

I have a few videos of it on the dyno. I'll post some up when I get home. Photo bucket is not playing this morning.

thanks Piggaz iv got a tomei stroker too so should be the best comparison yet.

When RPM built my car I asked about the difference and they let me know it's only sound. I would have gone one of their tuned length ones but didn't due to trying to limit costs at that stage, didn't. In retrospect I should have gone with the equal length as that's what my car had previously and they do sound awesome.

I am terribly sorry that I used evidence to give you an example. Or maybe the fact that I also changed front pipes to equal length ones and the note changed of the exhaust. Oh and didn't touch the timing nor manifolds. Now you are calling me simple minded? Give me some credit at least.

But I don't know why we are arguing. You are clearly wrong and now it seems you are just hell bent on being right.

That is not the topic of discussion here.

The issue is phones have sound cancelling and make for very bad Youtube recorders. Simple minded? You must be if you think I somehow said that in my post.

The clip clearly had a deep exhaust and a buzzy pos one. Front pipes don't change the sound like that, well not that much. I agree it can be slightly different, usually due to the material. The mild system I just fitted was a little tinny due to the mild piping, I don't get that with the stainless pipes I use.

Sacrificing power for sound, how very GTR. :P

my 2cents:

I think you've tried making one in the past and you probably stuffed it up or found it to be quite difficult so you decided to convince yourself and your customer that it does nothing and is a waste of time.

don't be offended a lot people take this approach.

when clearly people are changing nothing other than a front pipe and reporting first hand that IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE IN SOUND AND..."some" also report slight power gains.

MINES have also been known to make pretty good cars and they clearly state that they are only interested in modifications that make a DIFFERENCE IN PERFORMANCE.

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
