Hey guys.

Might be a dumb question but I couldn’t find a definitive answer on the internet.

 

Im looking at buying an xforce turbo back exhaust in the picture I’ve attached but I don’t know if I will need to buy a front pipe (also attached)? Does the front pipe and dump pipe do the same thing or will I need both? 

 

Thanks for answering the newb question!

Hi Dan

you want the JJR stainless bellmouth dump pipe, which runs all the way to the cat...so eliminates the front pipe and turbo elbow, as it's all one piece. I tested the split dump pipe and JJr bellmouth-type dump pipe and found the bellmouth to be faaaaaar superior.

I also recommend just buying a Venom 4 or 5in metal cat rather than any ceramic cat they usually throw in as part of a package deal.

Hey mate!

Thanks for the quick reply. I’ve looked into the parts you mentioned. Does that mean if I buy them I will only need to buy a cat back system? If so, can you recommend one?

 

cheers

if you want my advice - and let's face it, who wouldn't :p - you should get this

which leads into this

and then, "cat back exhaust' is this - although, on the loud side so you might want something quieter...but then again, powerrrr

The ceramic cats are shithouse, so rather than buying one now, then changing to a metal cat that's cheap/nasty to save $50, i recommend just get a 5in. body Venom cat that you're unlikely to ever need to upgrade.

Hey mate.

 

thanks for the links! Do you know where I can buy any other brands for the cat back part of the exhaust? Haven’t been able to find any other than that JJR part that you mentioned above.

 

i don’t want to buy a full exhaust just to use the cat back section?

yes - you buy the JJR  BELLMOUTH dump (very important - don't bother with the split type, get bellmouth. Also, JJR stainless seem to be the best made/value for money), Venom cat (as recommended, pay the few extra $$ and get 5in body, rather than skimp now and want to get bigger in a years' time), and then you just need a catback exhaust. HEAPS of Jap brands available, which are usually all just cat-back. But they all get way more pricey. I only just recently got the JJR hyperflow catback which looks to be a knockoff of the HKS, but is in full (304?) stainless rather than 409>304. Was using a Blitz NUR spec previously which I liked, but the JJR is quieter (probs cos brand new) and unleashes more torque. Very happy with it for the price. 

Hey guys,

 

So turns out that the JJR cat backs are out of stock for the next couple months (emailed the manager today) can anyone link me to somewhere I can buy a cat back?

 

cheers!

Don't buy, they are shit and way to loud. You'll be taking it to an exhaust shop to get another muffler put in to stop the drone. Scan Gumtree or Facebook sales for a decent Jap exhaust.

Hey guys.

So I’ve bought the JJR front pipe and bought a blitz Nur spec cat back. Just waiting for the cat to get delivered and I can get it installed! Just before I do, I’ve never seen this in an exhaust before. What is it? And can it/ should it be taken out?

 

thanks!

Quick note: that’s inside the exhaust tip 

It's a silencer.

 

IMO it's a bandaid for poor design.

 

Take it out and its louder, put it in and its quiter, quiter due to restriction.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
