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?

Edited by RB25Detonator

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 :)

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
