$170usd all up

so that was about $235aud


i bought it off ebay because its $180usd on his website (http://122performance.com/), but only $150usd on ebay

if the internal screamer sounds like ass, i'll just get it plumbed back into the front pipe

i'll let you know how it all goes

Is it a 2 1/2" or 3" dump?

2 1/2"

Im thinking of buying a 3" dump pipe from philcom.Does anyone have one? There was a good write up in the Fast Four a while ago.

Would be irrelevant with the screamer anyway. The turbo housing outlet is only 2.5 inches.

tharaka good to see you brought one eventualy. Get your mate to weld
a braket to the downpipe to bolt to the front of the motor. Less chance
of the exhaust mani cracking. You can jump straight to 3" if your mate
makes it slightly oval to miss those 2 bolts. That screemer can be a slip
fit into a pipe coming up from the main flow. Bash the heat shield a bit
& it will still fit from what I see. Cheers tharaka !

have you had this fitted yet mate?
how does the screamer sound? howcome you went for the buschur style screamer pipe? are you going to run the turbo-cooler pipe below the manifold?

hey
yeah i got it fitted about 3-4 weeks ago
the screamer sounds good, especially in tunnels
i havent heard it from the outside, but barry said it sounds similar to dre's from the inside of the car
i need to get an EBC so its completely silent, and then opens all of a sudden

i went for the 'buschur' style because the other ones all dumped straight onto the crossmember thing
this one reroutes it so it goes directly under the car

if you want, i'll get a pic of it on monday for ya

 

[matress]

that'd be great
do you hear the screamer before you hit full boost?
did you fit the dump pipe up to the stock exhaust? noticable power gain?
are you still looking for a clutch? if you want, come around and take my car for a spin and show me the screamer at the same time

 

[tharaka]

that'd be great
do you hear the screamer before you hit full boost?

nah, no screamer sounds before full boost

did you fit the dump pipe up to the stock exhaust? noticable power gain?

yeah the rest of the exhaust is stock, definitley more top end
it got fitted two days before i went to heathcote, so i didnt get a before and after
but its noticeably different
spool i havent noticed much of a change

are you still looking for a clutch? if you want, come around and take my car for a spin and show me the screamer at the same time

you have the same one as dre yeah? ive tried his
im definitley going to go for the same one as jamie, exedy heavy duty organic

 

[matress]

yeah, my clutch is the same as dre's
thanks for your help too... i might look into getting one of these soon.
the ebay store seems to be down at the moment, i know they were re-constructing their web page, maybe that has something to do with it.
if you could take a few snaps of it, that'd be great!
cheers mate

 

[tharaka]

heres a pic of it in the engine bay
you really cant tell

i didnt take a pic under the car, because you cant see it unless you put it on a hoist

when it arrived:

the exhaust shop that installed it said they had a bit of trouble installing it, just because the welds were ******, and they had to bend the pipe a little bit

 

[matress]

i think you inserted the same pic twice instead of the pic in the engine bay
