Equal Length Front Pipe Made In Sydney?

lol 99% of this thread was dribble

Just to shove a spanner in the works, I measured a set of HKS equal length pipes and found... They weren't equal anyway, there was 5 inches extra on the front turbo pipe.

Anyone have any other brands laying about to check?

I wasn't aware hks made a equal length front pipe.

Care to post a photo

I just assumed it was HKS due to the catback being HKS. There are no markings.

That looks like a Trust front pipe.

Here are two vids that demonstration of the difference in sound that the Mines front pipe makes.

That is the only difference between the two vids

HKS front pipes:

Reimax front pipes (Japanese to English Google translation likes the word isometric)

Ah yep. Looks like a hks sort of design. But just like midori or the "new" apexi designs the are not equal length.

Those reimax are pretty elaborate. I'll get a pick of the racepace ones. They look the best.

apart from being inside, and from a different distance and angle...

Those look good.

[mr skidz]

well made, I'll get those unless I see better ones.

[Hadouken]

Lol. Better made?! Blasphemy! Hha

[Anfanee]

how much are the racepace ones?

[Hadouken]

$1200 ish

Curves apear alot tighter than the jap brands, which as scotty has been saying, will restrict flow.

Realistically, how much is it going to hurt?

It may be tighter, but most jap pipes are peanut sizes. I don't think I've ever see a twin 3 inch into a single 4 inch off the shelf from ping pong land.

If you want to talk about a 3 inch "tight" bend restricting the exhsust, have a good look at the 2 inch turbo inlet pipes that bolt to the comp housing. At the smallest point they're about 1.7 inches (It can be fixed by welding it up and grinding the inside out). What about the tight bend in the dump pipes? Bigger fish to fry than a huge set of front pipes.

[Hadouken]

^^^ Hahaha. So good!

Anywho. If we all wanted power and cared so much about restriction the we would bolt on a single have a 5" dump straight out the bonnet.

And I really find the jap pipes to not care about ground clearance. They just hang there like dingle berries.

please excuse the slight hijack, but can anyone tell me who made this front pipe?
