My R32 GTR currently has Reimax 60mm front pipe (was told 65mm when I bought it), but the Tomei dumps I recently had installed have 68mm exit.  Is it worth spending a few hundred getting a 70mm front pipe to match the dumps?  Will I loose low end torque with a bigger front pipe?

Also the Reimax front pipe has 80mm exit, but previous owner had a 76mm straight pipe installed.  Is it worth upgrading to a 80mm straight pipe?  The cat back section is also 80mm Reimax with 115mm tip.

Inputs appreciated!

Just watched it, very good info.  So going big decreases back pressure, but too big will also decreases velocity and decreases scavenging effect.

How about equal length?  There are half a dozen choices out there, some equal length some not.  For an NA engine equal length is likely important, but I'm not sure about turbo...

Should I also spend another few hundred for a 80mm straight pipe to replace my 76mm?

This is why twins are gay.

Single turbo, full divided housing, full divided manifold, equal length manifold is the only way to harness the scavenging effects. Less heat due to less restrictions, less piping, less blown 2nd turbo (because it doesn't' exist).

But back on topic, just go massive

No large power benefits to equal length more so the sound. The sound above 5000rpm with a equal length sounds HEAPS better than non-equal. Turbo engine you just want to get rid of the gases as quick as possible, bigger the better.

Is there a brand preference?  Because the price range is really wide, almost 3x difference between highest and lowest. 

Mine's ¥72,986, HKS ¥54,481, HPI ¥45,678, Greddy ¥27,210.  All stainless steel except Greddy, which I think is mild steel but painted.

Yeah I saw the Midori front pipe too, but it is one of the few that is not equal length.  (and most titanium ones are not equal length)

I end up buying Greddy, which is cheaper but still equal length and weights slightly less than others because it is not stainless steel.  Where I live I do not need stainless steel anyways.  I also bought Tomei's titanium straight pipe.  Will see if anything improves after I have them installed and dyno'd during the next couple months.

Really?  Google Translate says it is :8_laughing:

Product features

It is a front pipe pursuing smoothing of piping and optimization of pipe diameter. 
By improving exhaust efficiency, exhaust gas resistance immediately after turbocharger is greatly reduced, and efficient supercharging is promoted. 
For RB 26 DETT, it is designed to increase the exhaust efficiency by using exhaust pulsation by equalizing the length from the turbocharger to the collecting section.

I will measure it once I receive it to see how big is the length difference.  I will weight it too.

I didn't get HPI because they dent their pipe to make it fit (says so on their Japanese website and it shows on their product picture) instead of designing to make it fit.  HKS has 85mm exit, and my cat back section is 80mm, I didn't want to create another step down.  Midori is a true non equal length (at least Greddy tries to fake it).  https://www.rhdjapan.com/midori-seibi-center-front-pipe-sus-80mm-bnr32.html  Mine's is just very expensive and is made to order so will take a long time.

I bought mine from FRSport.com, they price-matched another webste so I paid $314.40 USD shipped.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
