Dandy Exhaust. I got quoted $300 for Dump Pipe


Recommended Posts

high? You get your ass under that and do the work

think about it this way

1 - they have to wait for the car too cool down, taking workshop space

2 - someone has to spend at LEAST an hour too 2 hours making it

3 - its a business and they have to make a profit

$300 is cheap

Why not get a combo 3" dump/front pipe from batmbl for $250 all up? Its all about numbers, its very expensive to make a one off exhaust system, why not get one thats already made? Or do you have an aftermarket turbo?

:werd:

this man speaks the truth

:rofl:

is that inclusive of installation or not?

cause from what i can tell ash it isnt stated... so chill :)

look on ebay... my mate just got a stainless one for 180 and a stainless manifold for 280... YAY EBAY!

that's including installation, yes. providing they dont run into problems or anything.

eg. drill out the bolts or watever coz of rust.

RHETT

i dont have aftermarket turbo. i already have front pipe, its just the dump pipe im getting done.

Thanks for your input guys. Greatly Appreciated.

i agree...try doing it on a 40 degree day sweating your aggots out snaping off exhuast studs and nuts with weld spatter going all over you.....people go out on the turps for a night and torch a few hundred buck trying to pick up women...then question spending it on there cars when someone wants to get paid for the time they spent working on it...i am with ash

a mate of mine at work is looking to do some mods to his 94 r33 turbo.. it has a cat back jasma exhaust runing standard cooler and standard boost..

I suggested he get a dump/front pipe and hi flow cat and boost it too 11-12psi using bleeder valve and have the work done by a reputable tuner...ie racepace...

Change of subject a bit but how much all up would we be expecting to pay for all of this work??

$500-$600??

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
