Does anyone know approx how much or where to buy turbo to cat exhaust?

I was told mine was turbo back but i had a look (should have done this before i actually bought the car) and its only cat back --> pointless

It is 3 1/2 cat back, does anyone know how much to complete this (turbo to cat?)

and if it is worthwhile doing that or just buying the complete turbo back setup?

Cheers

forget jastjap search ebay you can pick up a front pipe 3" for around 200 dollars delivered and the buy the dump pipes from jastjap for 400 or so total 600approx jast jap are selling the complete kit on ebay for 1000. save yourself some dollars.

now i have been told you only need 3 inch to the cat then 3.5 inch after becaues after the gasses cool down they need the extra .5" room to flow, thats what i have been told. i am open to any other suggestions or ideas on this one...my thought was as gasses heat up they expand as they cool they become denser

I've got a used 3" dump and a 3" titanium front pipe available if you dont want to spend alot. Why did I remove them??

Can't tell a lie I removed them to install a Batmbl one piece split dump/front pipe...very nice and great value.

if you are talking about r32/r33 gtst dump pipe and front pipes, then i sell them for $395 (mild steel) and $450 (stainless steel). much cheaper than any of the options above.

these are the split wastegate systems, not the ones with a single large hole at the dump. it is a dump pipe and a front pipe in one piece, not 2 seperate parts which will require an extra gasket and a possible future exhaust leak at that point on the exhaust.

the wastegate pipe on the split dump pipe (2 piece systems) is too short to be effective in reducing turbulence. you need at least 35-40cm seperation before they re-join.

im in a similar situation as you, stock dump/front and huge cat back exhaust. had a look around and saw BATMBL's pipe. looks just as good as any other and got him to ship one to me just last week. will hopefully be getting it put on this week.

honestly i was quite surprized at the quality. i was so excited i showed my mate and even he was amazed at what i got for the price i paid. i cant wait to get it on!

    • Give it 40psi and send it to the moon
    • I suspect 550s are on the large side for happy operation with a stock/Nistune RB20 ECU. The Hitachi ECU doesn't love short pulse width operation, and the RB20 doesn't need much fuel at idle. Big injectors can be unpleasant. This could be contributing.
    • Yeah, I still don't know why the idle speed control can't catch the falling RPMs. In the Consult logs I see the AAC duty cycle rising, but suddenly it goes lean and the engine stalls. Anyways, the relevance here is the DW 550cc injectors are probably the same. So if OP has similar issues I would be tempted to finger those injectors as problematic for whatever reason vs the ECU failing for some reason.
    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
