Who Wants Down Pipes??

[godzilla]

I wonder if they will make them in stainless steel. If someone is getting some, take some pictures. I wouldn't mind seeing what they look like. Might be worth the freight to get them to Darwin.

No way Macca! Estimate how much you think it will cost then double it! EVERYTHING costs heaps to get up there.

 

[Macca]

true, I wish it wasn't so expensive to get things here.

Any pictures of these Pro's engineering pipes. I'm interested to see what they look like.

pro's pipes? jeez good luck, i hav seen a second hand set go for $800! they do hav the coolest lobster piping though

 

[Macca]

Right, I know the ones your talking about. For a minute there I thought it was another company down south. they are a Jap brand aren't they?

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Damn, so anything else out there?

 

[Buckas]

custom?

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Well I'm gonna' see what Karmit says next saturday when he does my custom catback + high flow cat, he seems to think it will be quite an expensive exercise for minimal gains. We'll see I suppose. He said something cheap off the shelf would be money better spent then custom. We'll see!

 

[Buckas]

aight, let me know what he says. ill be keen for front pipes when i get back before a retune

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Will do

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Kermit said to get off the shelf front/dumps as it will be cheaper. I told him that the RPW ones were $450 and he said if they are a pretty easy bolt on, get them.

So very keen for this to go ahead if prices are correct!

 

[JUSTCRUZN]

didnt someone say befor that the RPW ones dont bolt up very nice or easy???

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Tom said something about it before to me. Can anyone with said pipes share some insight?

 

[mookers]

I have RPW pipes. They bolted up fine, but they won't fit if you have an aftermarket lower brace. Not sure how they go with aftermarket swaybars either.

I think I remember reading that Windsor exhaust in nsw were making downpipes for a good price?? I could be wrong though. I'll see if I can find the thread..


Found it

Full exhaust including downpipes for 1250 but I didn't see anything mentioned bout the pipes by it self. Worth a ring if your all that interested, their work is amazing!

No probs there...

So the RPW units both front pipe & dumps are good / recommended?

I need to chase down some (particularly the dumps) for my mechanic if there are ready made ones that would be helpful and preferred over custom at this point.

 

[mookers]

As far as I know RPW only makes front pipes, not dumps.

Could be wrong though, I haven't paid much attention to that area in the last couple years.

There website seems to reflect this also.... but on previous pages there is talk of the down pipes.
I guess people are using the down / dump / front terms interchangeably when they shouldn't?

/Edit: That said RPW clearly state dump pipes were manufactured at one point and tested on Madhav's car?

[unclepaulie]

correct

 

[AKKO]

Not meaning to hijack this thread, but does anyone make aftermarket "dump" pipes for our cars?

Speaking to MEEK, they're suggesting that EVO3 style dumps would be compatible.
Can anyone confirm that they use similar turbos / TD-03's?
