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!

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
