Anybody know what size the standard front pipe is on a R33 RB25DET?

Is it 2.5" - 63mm??

Anybody had good results with just changing the front pipe to 2.75 or 3"?

Or is the dump pipe section still a fair restriction?

Some firms sell just the front pipe. I can get a cheap front pipe or get one from the turbo back from Batmbl on these forums,.

Thanks

Thanks Jun - point taken about the half job.

I really don't want any noticeable increase in noise, currently 3.5" cat back but fairly quiet. I was wondering whether just the front pipe maybe good trade off between power and sound..i..e will the full 3" dump/froont increase the noise level?

I've had a 3.5" Front pipe, 3.5" Cat-back (TRUST System)

And have recently put on a 3" split-style stainless dump pipe - and by god it certainly howls on boost now, quicker spool up, and an awesome sound - so yes, just the dump makes quite a bit more noise :P

i added that a combined 3in front/dump in mild steel and hiflow cat after running with just a japanese cat and the increase in noise wasnt that noticable . certainly nothing like adding the cat back vs the stock catback . on high throttle the midrange was a bit more growly but not heaps louder or droney

Its probrely cheaper to go the full 3" from turbo to cat - one piece. $380 for JustJap I think.

It's not work doing half the job, becuase you'll still have restriction their.

The air flow will go somthing like this:

Out of the engine through exhaust housing on turbo into big 3" dump then into small 2" - 2.5" or what ever size they are standard then back into 3" you get the idea. So its still got a restriction their and that little bit of pipe thats smaller than the rest does make a fair big difference performance wise. If you want to make you'r exhaust more quiet, Put another resonator on their.

Making any change to you'r exhaust - from standard to aftermarket, you will get a little more sound to you'r exhaust note, but nothing drastic.

:P

Hey Arkon - did you notice much power gain?? I've got a 4 door like yours :)

I'm thinking if I fit in and find it too noisy I might put on a standard cat back and sell my cat back...although I would have to source the standard cat back.

The dump/front alone would be more of a gain than the catback right? Is the standard cat back that restrictive?

turbo to cat - batmbl does them on these forums for 250...

    • Plan on the day will be to park trackside. Depending on space availability we will try put a small shade tent and a few of the cars on top of the hill inside turn 3, this is an easy to get to parking area with views of Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4 and Turn 5 and limited other pieces of the view around the track. IMPORTANT NOTE! One consideration from previous years is from memory the trackside parking sells out before the admission tickets, for that reason I encourage anyone planning on coming to buy tickets for parking now via the official website; https://www.worldtimeattack.com/ The type of parking you are looking for is 2 Day Park & View (Access Around Venue) Vehicle Pass Only Please note this does not include admission to the event itself, remember to grab that also, and kids under 12 get in for free!

    • Good time for a carbon roof  
    • Not in any way aroused by any of those, except maybe the big AMGs. And that would break my never a Euro, ever, rule.
