RPW dumps. who's going to be the guinea pig?

[unclepaulie]

dudes,

everyone seen these? i know we dont talk about "the shop who must not be named" too often but in my boredom i had a look at their webpage again

found they're now doing bolt on dump pipes. thats news to me. anyone else?

http://rpw.com.au/shop/index.php?pa...ategory_id=541&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1

apparently they bolt up to oem front pipes and RPW front pipes

BUT

theyre nearly $700 dollars! (you can buy GTR dump pipes for $300)





sidenote: they're also selling TD03-8 turbo upgrades for 1xarm and 1x leg

Considering sending him an offer; $600...... if he throws in some downpipes as well haha.

 

[naughtika]

ummm... no...

 

[VOLK]

So exactly how much meth does one need to smoke to find paying in excess of $900 for a slightly larger turbo than stock a pleasurable experience?

 

[mills_88]

"They who shall not be named" are on crack and or crystal meth for sure, there has never been any doubt about that.

 

[Poita]

LOL you can get full stainless custom made ones for about $600 fitted! These guys seriously are on another planet.

Even worse is that some people buy this stuff for such stupid prices.

 

[jomz]

FMD! $700? "The who shall not be named" can shabbb it!! LOL

 

[veegeeta]

Anyone seen their forged internals upgrade kit for our engine? $4000 !

 

[Scottie]

Why bother really? How much power to expect to gain from all that $$$ and farting around. Spending any money on stock or slightly larger turbos is a joke..

 

[ygoslo]

That's insane. Someone get me the flange designs and I'll get them cut for less than $100 per pair. Not even kidding.

 

[TME_Steve]

Funnily enough i was asked last night if i thought these were worth it.... (i suggested there were better things to spend money on).

Probably end up like the 'Direct Fit' X-force dumps my mate just had put onto his 33 GTR. 8 Hours of machining to get them to fit to the Turbo! We are trying to get together a statement from the Workshop explaining to X-force what happened and recover some $$$.

i had 3 sets of exhaust manifolds laser cut made out of 12mm mild steel for around $200.. so imagine how much it'll cost to have this little ones made up..

 

[ygoslo]

Seriously if we want to get these flanges made up I can get them done. Maybe could even get a kit like these made up if there's interest? I have a mate who works at a machine shop on a laser cutter & will do after hours work.

 

[veegeeta]

can you get them made to go on the standard manifolds? if so i can send you 2 spare dumps to copy.

I can't believe that wanker is still making parts for our cars, who buys off him?

WTF $700 for dump pipes, you will most likely get zero power gains. A local exhaust shop can make both dumps and collector for less than that!

 

[ygoslo]

Had a chat to my mate, I can do the set of 4 flanges for $100. Add your own piping & voila.

Or, if veegeeta or someone else can send up some stock dumps, we can get the piping made up to make them a straight bolt-in replacement for the stock dumps. That would be around $200 for a pair of complete replacement dumps. Would anyone be interested enough to stump up the cash? No minimum orders or group buys or anything difficult like that. Just let us know if you want some and away we go.
