Question for those who have changed there dump/front pipe

[craz0]

The moon shaped bracket that bolts on the end of the front pipe (bolt goe's through cat, front pipe then bracket) can you or did anyone reuse this bracket when replaceing there dump/front pipe?

The dump/front piipe that I have is a BATMBL one.

yeah i used it but had to chop the moon bit....so basically it only holds onto the exhaust with one bolt instal of the two. make sense?

this was on a r32 gts-t

i did on my r33 (well i wasnt the one that actually did it )but it was done to my car

any competant exhaust place should be able to do it

Yea I'm pretty sure we left it there and reattached it... I think I have a small leak because the thread on my cat didnt match the thread on the cat-back flange so we had to use a slightly small bolt...

Couldn't be arsed fixin it for the time being either.

Yep I reused it, I used a XForce front / dump pipe. Fit no prob.

That's why I couldn't use the BATMBL dump that I originally bought. Ended up selling it and getting one custom made.

Thanks all.

Slide & nmcmahon83 do you both have a BATMBL dump/front pipe?

[Slide]

mine is fully custom made using the old o2 sensor fittings

you should just be able to weld a nut onto the dump pipe the right size and just screw it into that aswell.

I got it to fit I went and bought a grinder and grinded the moon section out more untill it fit, bolted it on to the end of the front pipe with the cat and pushed it back ont it's little bracket then bolted it back up.
