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.

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
