Zyomtic, I will see what they can make up for me, I have a LARGE, read HUGE rear muffler only at the moment (and cat obviously) made by 5Zigen. The exhaust is quiet and not droney at all, before I tried a different muffler and it drone like a MOFO.

Its the rear muff that makes the difference so I will see what a split dump will do...

Go CES dude....i recently ordered one for my s15.

To make a long story short....the CES unit has been bread with quality and performance in mind and has proven dyno results...just search the many forums on the net and u will see what i mean.

If your like me, i like to do the job once and do it right....thats why i went for the CES unit, i don't see any point in stuffing around with the cheaper copies....waste of money in my opinion.

I must say the CES unit is still quite expensive but hey, that is the price you pay for performance!

Marketing people have a term for that, it's called conspicious consumerism.

I'd go the BOS one. BATMBL is a great guy to deal with and the dumppipes he supplies look as if they are from good design (seperate runner atleast 40mm from wastegate). I haven't got one purely for the reason I have a sr20 in a cefiro and that's not exactly an off the shelf part.

I agree with that...

My cat back to rear muffler (I wanted to remove the jap section that included a middle muffler as it was too quiet), including flange joints, gasket bolt etc, all madrel bent mild steel cost me the huge sum of $80...

Atleast the BOS one has the O2 sensor hole on the top...and the welds look alright too...

the BOS copy....is just that...a copy!

does not deliver anywhere near the performance and durability of the CES system...sorry. The weld's and tapering of the pipe are no where near as smooth as the CES product, BOS also lacks the other hidden extra's that come with CES D/T which i will leave you to do your research on.

Anywayz dude....it's ur decision in the end!

If they are hidden then how is anyone to find out.

The welds look fine, yes the taper on the BOS is sharper and thus in theory at least not as flow orientated.

I started this thread to GET information so please share it with everyone. You have bought the CES one and yes I agree that the quality is better otherwise you would never sell a product for that price.

The 02 sensor however does need to be above horizontal to work, that is fact. I am considering a custom one is mild steel, as I know the people I should be able to get it done relatively cheaply.

I also want the wastegate pipe to go in line with the main pipe and enter the main pipe at the front of the bend at the bottom, if you know what I mean...

And that would effect the power output of the stock turbo by how many poofteenth's??

oh, we're up to page 2! Guess it must be friday arvo :)

pretty amazing figure on the S15 eh!

droney it was, because it didn't include a resonator

loud yes but I have read on here that resonators don't

counteract loud nearly as much as droney.

Bottomline - its worth paying extra $100 or wateva to get

one installed

Another thing to avoid is cannons, just get a standard high

flo muffler - as long as it flows 3 inches i guess + cannons

are gay.

please let me know the results of your enquiries to Beedhams

about there dumps Bob/Neill cos if they are good I might go

there also, don't suppose I could mention your name to Bobby

and get a discount?

not telling! :(

thats not nice <_<

Mention my name to Bobby, he probably would not remember me until I turn up...he is not the best with names...but never forgets a face!!!

Its also good that a very good mate send him alot of work, damn Redcliffe, its like another society.

I will see what Bobby can come up with, it will be after Jambo as I have other work to finish on others cars before then...

      Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.

      The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
