put your money back in your pocket with the high flow cat, it is as they say an oxymoron. Mine is not a high flow and I saved a few $$ I only replaced my stock one cause it was knackered and I broke the flange bolts off it doing the gearbox/clutch reinstall.

What did people pay for their front pipe + dump pipe ?

The only price ive been able to get so far (confirmed it will fit on my R33 GTS-T) is $350 + $350 for a 'mines copy' from www.japanesemotorsport.com.au

That seems alittle pricey for me. It would be atleast $800 just for it all up Ouch!

Custom Exhausts is in Ozzy Park. They installed my extractors on my old car and made an absolutely stunning stainless mandrel system on my mates integra. Was a few years back though, i presume theyre under the same management.

Or you could go Speedworks in Carbon Ct. But theyre quite busy at the moment and might not have the time for custom exhaust jobs.

If you wanna go the whole hog and get the dump pipe as well, id go for something japanese. I priced a HKS one up the other day that was only $75 more expensive than i was quote for a local custom job.

Remember, 70 yen to the dollar is your friend :P

how loud are these screamer pipes anyways,

or does it make the whole exhaust roar alot more,

anyone with any enlightenment

i really should be getting back to exhaust dynamics soon to get mine done. he seemed cheap and definately knew what he was talking about

I have the Cat back and front pipe on my car, i'm looking for a dump pipe in the near future..

I'm still with standard cat also.

I've heard that not having a high-flow cat can limit the amount of boost you can run with a bleed valve??

ie. My mate got a turbosmart boost controller on his 180, and they said he needed a high-flo cat to get a full 12psi, as it's peaking at 12, then dropping to 10psi ?

Any truth in this ?

Could explain why my "home-made" jobbie that gave troy 10psi, isn't working on my car (still at 7psi)

I'm getting my high flow cat and 3" dump pipe done at MagicTune in Cannington. $520 for both, stainless steel, mandrel bends. I got a quote from a guy next door to Extreme machines, which was $500. He said he would do one pipe instead of two. I'm getting way out of my depth here, all too technical, but I went with the first quote because they are closer to home.

the guy next to extreme machines is wayne(willeton exhausts)

and i cannot tell you how much this guy knows

because theres too mcuh too tell lol

i never knew bout him till i checked out extreme machines and they were hell praising him so i thought i would go and check him out and now i realise why they praised him so much coz he does a absolute ripper of a job,he is the one who replaced my piping from the cat to back of muffler to straight 3"! i'm goin back there soon to get my twin dump pipe and high flow cat done, might ask if he can make me a cat-out pipe ;) so anyways yeah i just thought i would let ya know i recommend him 100% adrian :(

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
