:tup: I haven't heard an open dump since July 2010...it's been way too long!

Kastley85891 05-07-2011 09:02 PM

I hear ya man, my last open gate was a 20G on E85 with an 18psi spring, I was on 24psi by 3400 rpm.... ya , noisy lol, 38mm so like a screaming banshee..

Urs will be awesome with a 6cyl feed to the Tial

Open dump is a beautiful thing.

In case I missed it somewhere, is this going to be a single exhaust or are you going to mod an exhaust to make it dual? I had modded up a dual for my Turbonetics kit. The only thing I didn't like it about it was how quiet it was. I know a turbo quiets it down some but it wasn't to my likings. Not sure if it had something to do with the single design exhaust pipe or how it went from single to dual.

Here's some pics.

I had my HKS exhaust modified on my G35 to fit the Turbonetics kit. Shawn will well be modifying the H-pipe on my current HKS exhaust to fit the single downpipe.

I'd love a full 3" single, but I just think it looks goofy with 2 exhaust openings. The 350s could pull it off with a bumper tuck, but that's not possible with the 370.

Yea, it doesn't look as good as it would on a Supra. But it will work. Good conversation piece.

I believe I remember your car from my350. Didn't you used to hang out with a guy named Taurren or something? Can't remember the spelling. Or was it Ron and that group?

Yeah, I hung out Craig (Tuarren) and Ron...the central FL crew. The last time I went to ZDayz was actually with them back in '07. I'm trying to convince Craig to come this year with his E55.

I used to work at Performance Factory back in the day when they were a pretty popular shop before the owner started doing shady business...so I knew a lot of the Z/G crowd.

Single 3"? Ryan ... If we ever do you a single it will be 4"!! And any rear can be modified for single, even my M which comes with quad tips!

Is that custom? Kinda looks like an Apexi Super GT. I had one on my S13 Fastback. I believe it was a 4.5" exit/tip. Can't remember how large the piping internal diameter was, but it was pretty big. I was always worried about busting it up on the roads in Naples, IT...........

My complete turbo setup was custom fabbed by me. Exhaust is 3" downpipe (all that would clear the back runner of my exhaust manifold), tapers to 4" next to the gearbox and is 4" all the way back. Muffler is Vibrant 4" inlet/4" outlet
