dump pipes - opinions

[matress]

hey guys,

i found these dump pipes on a nz website today, only thing is, they're 2.5 inch outlets, so it would need a flared piece of pipe to join up to a 3 inch front pipe. much of a problem do you's think?
here are links to the pics:

does anyone know any other places where you can buy off the shelf dump pipes, front pipes or any other exhaust components for the vr4?

cheers,
Mat

matt, they look awesome!!

great price also!!

i would go the screamer anyday!!.. i wouldn't leave it as an external though, i'd get a flange put on their, and join it up with the front pipe..

reason, reduce turbulence...

2.5" is fine from the turbo.. not much more u can do..

3" from the dump back is a good idea too... as the wastegate will take up some flow..

I could probably make both of them.......

Looks good, will the internal gate on the big 16g sound crap with a screamer?

Does that website say anything about shipping to Aus?

There's no such thing as a screamer that sounds crap!

I was reading somewhere that the screamer on internal gated turbos sounds piss weak, can't remember where though.

I really want a screamer, but I really don't want the fine.

I don't know how willingly my exhaust shop will chuck this on either

I like that manifold!!! 8)
mandrel bent, equal length runners, good quality material and design in my opinion.
I asked someone who lives in NZ regarding the company's reputation and it is said to be pretty good and that he has previously bought a walbro fuel pump off them.
while shopping in NZ, Another one to check out is http://www.nzperformance.co.nz/store/view_product.php?product=VR4MANI
