Front/Dump Pipe/Exhaust Help

Hi guys.

I want to upgrade my stock dump/front pipes and cat on my R34 GTT. I don't wanna go overboard. It's just a daily driven car. Right now I have a SR JASMA cat back exhaust. I think it's 3", but I am going to replace it with a Blitz Nur Spec cat back later on.

Firstly, I would like to replace the front/dump pipe. I saw this on just jap:

JJR Stainless 3" Bellmouth front/dump pipe

And this cat:

X-Force 3" Stainless High Flow Cat

Question 1: Would these two pieces bolt up together? i.e would the flanges mate up perfectly? Or would I have to modify them?

Question 2: When you put the pieces together, do you have to use some special silicon between the gaskets? or do you just use the gaskets they provide?

Question 3: Is it very important that you need a tune after the installation, or can i just adjust my boost controller down a notch and all is well?

Question 4: Would it be a good idea to wrap the front/dump pipe in Titanium wrap or waste of $$ and time?

Question 5: What is the cell rating on that x-force 3' cat and is it a good buy for a daily driver expecting a little more power gain (with supporting mods in future ofcourse)?

The dump is a fine basic choice.  The cat should bolt to it no problem.  Both of these parts are intended to swap in for stock pieces with other stock pieces or with other stock-swappable pieces.  Just use the gaskets.

The cat is just a ceramic substrate, so it won't be particularly excellent in the flow stakes.  Couldn't tell you how many cpi it is.  Doesn't matter, wouldn't buy it in preference to a 5" Venom metal cat with 100 or 200 cpi.

Wrapping the dump will keep the engine bay cooler, but likely shorten the life of the dump.  Your choice.

You won't need to adjust your boost controller unless you pick up noticeable extra boost.  R34s aren't good with more than ~10 psi on the stock ECU.  As for the tune question, if you are running as much as 10 psi, you will benefit from tuning it already.  But as he^ said, you can't unless you minimally put a Nistune into it.

What cat would you guys recommend? Are Venom really good ones? I saw this on their ebay store:

Can't find a 5" one but would this 3" Venom be better than x-force? 

I'm thinking of purchasing this cat back system:

Any thoughts on this?

I heard they are awfully loud. Not really keen for angry looks or neighbours but oh wellz. What do you guys reckon? Good buy?

I've heard they are quite loud also.

I went with the HKS silent hi power which isn't too loud or droney as it has a mid muffler, not just a resonator.

There's also the full custom system option which can be made however you like

My only advice is to steer clear of the JJR systems, I installed one for a friend on the weekend and it required an angle grinder and a welder to make it fit properly.. 

 

You get what you pay for :)

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
