Hey guys im installing a high mount turbo and and front facing plenum and need a place to make up custom intercooler piping, custom air intake, and a 3.5inch dump/front, i have a 3.5inch cat and need from the cat to the resonator to be replace from 3inch to 3.5inch as stainless steel

need a good performance shop SOR that can do a good job at a reasonable price

I have rang around abit but been quoted some stupid quotes... have tried exhaust torque in bibra lake, but they kept giving me quotes on the whole exhaust system, gave up tryin to explain i only need parts of it made, called cypher but they want to look at the car before they will quote a price which is abit hard when it needs to be toed =P also tried top racing..

most of these places have quoted in the 2.5-3 mark which to me seems a little high..

in regards to piping whats cheaper for the intercooler.. stainless or aluminium.. also is it worth going stainless for the dump n front.. or be easier/cheaper to go mild steel

Cheers for any advice guys

would look like shit and have surface rust with mild steel, stainless steel ftw

most places would be 2.5-3k for that sort of work

try C-red my mate got quoted 2.1k for a similar setup (gt35r high mount, greddy intake)

or rent a car trailer and tow it to all the workshops

can also try Embelton engineering in Myree

or you can go to go gear and buy all the pre bent/cut pipes then get them to weld it

or use silicon joints

i gave kermit a msg, I'll probably get some pics for cypher once i finish getting it installed and see if i can get a quote from that

where is sanders racing.. i googled it, couldnt find it has anyone got a number

also where is this go parts.. are they open on the weekend

Kermit is very good with stainless, highly recommended. He put together my 3.5" system.

But i wouldnt be expecting change from 2.5k+ if you want a quality job. 3.5" stainless is more than double the price of 3" as its not a stocked size.

Stainless cooler piping will be cheaper than ally, and there are also far more people out there who can do a good job of welding stainless... I've only found two people I'd recommend for ally and neither come cheap.

If your tight on cash the other option is do the easy stuff yourself (cooler piping, intake pipe etc) and get the exh done professionally.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
