Equal Length Front Pipe Made In Sydney?


Recommended Posts

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.....

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.

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
