The front / down pipes thread

[Akys]

ok. Spoke to Russell today. He is working out on the price now. Should be a EOI GB of 10. He will provide me with price of part, part+fitted and part+freight.
Looking at mild steel as he reckon it last longer as front pipe compare to stainless which might crack.
I also gave him a pic of intercooler hard piping and he say he will have a look.

Interested Pending price, Should be good price in MS and I prefer it aswell.

I have the tuned length Windsor exhaust front pipes, I hate the design for flow but I do prefer the sound. No pics here but someone not using a phone could probably find the original thread by ET on here with pics....

Oh and heat wrap sucks, how to warp manifolds etc.... Do you see it on top race cars? No, good reason for that....

 

[Akys]

this is what steve was talking about

this http://www.rhdjapan.com/pro-shop-iida-stainless-front-pipe-ec5w-ec5a-25120 is what i ask Russell to duplicate so hopefully he can.

Those IIDA front pipes look sexy its a shame they are hidden under the car.

How do they sound compared to normal?

I made up a set of those when I did my conversion. Those stockies are shockers, just as bad as the stock FTO ones, a real collision point.

In the end I had to make 2 sets, the 2.5" one while free flowing, just wasn't letting the volume of gas out, was restricting the tune, so went up to 3" & it solved the problem.

 

[Dice]

When you say 2.5" and 3" are you referring to the merge point?

 

[chocco]

Bennoz you should make up more of those front pipes...

wait your donk is in a FTO

 

[naughtika]

i reckon 3" is still restrictive.. I think we should use 3.5"

I like your thinking.

 

[naughtika]

I like your thinking.

thinking is free..

doing hurts the pocket..

 

[TME_Steve]

I'm guessing that, looking at the photo's they look the same or smaller than mine and mine are 2.5" into 3" (at the moment).

The cars with untuned front pipes often sound more lumpy, or rougher....

I like it very rough..

 

[NuffNuff]

i may have missed this but what cat are you using steve, or did you have it deleted?

 

[TME_Steve]

Me? I have a 4" something or other, no need to delete when it's huge

I've got the RPW front pipes, which were trimmed free of charge by castle hill exhaust when they did the rest of the exhaust. I have no complaints at all. I like the sound
