down pipes

[Kieran]

have you made the down pipe equal length from turbo's to keep them balanced. to keep boost stable.

Well, the prototype pics earlier in this thread suggest not. However, given that they're a bigger bore, the extra capacity for gasflow probably means it won't result in a huge imbalance.... I think?

[Nutter_John]

Correct K , Also the amount of room under the car to use equal lenght would make it even more difficult than it already is .

On a side not I'm not sure that equal lenghts make a difference on turbo cars as you don't need to balance the flow to generate back pressure like you do on a N/A car .

[bradc]

yeah the tiny little TD03 exhaust housings are going to limit the flow by quite a lot, so the length of the pipes isn't super important. In an ideal world they would still be equal, but it isn't strictly necessary.

Please keep us updated to how you are getting on.

I've been running around with a rather large rumble from up front for the past 3 months in anticipation. Don't want to go the standard replacement route, as I don't see the point if these are in the pipe line.

Any idea on an ETA?

Thanks

okay... now WRD is no longer an option for us (me) does anyone know where I can find AND buy a proper downpipe? The Japanese sites mentioned in this and other topics show nice examples of downpipes, but I can't find one where I can actually order one! Any english speaking webshop would be very welcome!

Thanx.

I've decided to make my own full system. 2 1/2" from turbo's going into 2 into 1 joint from then on 3" no center boxes straight out to rear silencer. all in stainless. Just need to wire garage for tig welder and then i will be ready to weld.

Well, Your options as I see it are as follows...

1. Custom - Either DIY or Powerflow, etc. etc.

2. Pro-Shop IIda downpipes - http://www.ps-iida.co.jp/galant/galant.html

3. YR-Advance - http://www.yr-advance.com/parts/p026.htm

Options 2&3 can be got by contacting www.rhdjapan.com - they will have to special order them, but their service is good and the price is normally quite reasonable. www.takakaira.com may also be able to assist, but again it would be a special order case.

Ohh i do miss my downpipes...

The Noise....

The noise I tell you..



Now on another members car

[Paul C]

Diy all the way. Sick of paying money to people who can't be arsed doing a decent job. Had one custom exhaust made and fitted in last year. load of rubbish the welded joints leaked, it hit against the drive shaft and it came with life time guarentee. but they went bust so had to pay someone else to alter and repair. In the end the job looks the sh*ts.

so where possible i am planning to do most mods/repairs myself.

i aggree, DIY for the win!
althou the WRD pipes would have been great!

VR-4 (Subaru) TD05/TD04L downpipes.

[Kieran]

Nice!

[Beastlee]

OK, so the question now is should we get equal length or just a re-make of the Mitsubishi ones?

The only equal length ones I know of are the Pros Engineering ones (different to the Pro-Shop IIda pipes). Most aftemarket ones are either 'F' or 'Y' pipe designs. They'll still be better than the Mitsutwitty ones, though from what I've read on Carview, the F-pipes do sacrifice a little low end grunt but have a much better top end.
