jeez. Just kiss already.

Doesnt matter which way you put it, a equal length front pipe is the best sounding RB26. But if you go single then it sounds mental on its own.

Some say a equal length is beneficial to allow the gasses to flow evenly out to the tailpipe and inturn helps with shuffling. I can definitely say that a equal length front pipe helps with shuffling. My midori front pipe shuffled like a fair bit up inclines. But with the mines front pipe I do not experience the same level of shuffling.

But biggest point here is sound.

The end.

That is not the purpose of this topic and if you go and google I am sure you will find many more theories on the differences.

They hug the body VERY well. I've never bumped them on the ground. They generally won't do an exhaust unless they have THE car they're going on... So they can get the fit spot on. Not sure if that's changed but that was the story a few years ago.

thanks Piggaz they said they could send me one I just wanted to see if anyone in sydney could make one just as good if not better so I can make sure it fits snug

The unequal length twin 3 inch system on the 33 gtr I have here sounds awesome, if only the 3L bottom end didn't make it sound like a VL.

You seriously think a few extra inches in a front pipe will make it sound any different?

Yes,

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.

My car came with the usual unequal length front pipe. I changed it to an equal length one (no other changes to the car) and the sound changed (used to sound like my old neighbour's 6cyl BMW, now sounds like a "real GT-R" :P).

If some of you gtr owners are that purist, perhaps the stock exhaust is the go? I am sure Nissan will still have a few in storage.

The unequal length sidepipes on the Gibson GTR I worked on had a beautiful note at 8000 revs. :P

Fact is, unequal vs. equal length front pipes produce different sound. I know I heard it on my car. Doesn't mean it sounds any less meaner, just different.

Here's another youtube vid.

Performance wise? probably no difference. Practical wise, unequal is better, my equal length hangs pretty low (lowest part of the car) and has copped some dents.

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.

    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
