Kingers. Member 227 Member For: 14y 8m 25d Posted 26/04/11 02:25 AM Share Posted 26/04/11 02:25 AM Ok well my car goes in for a tune in a few weeks, got new I/c injectors and fee other little bits and pieces, now I've got a high flow cat to go in and apart from having the centre removed that's all that's getting done to the exhaust. So I'm wondering if it's going to be worth getting a new dump pipe put on? I'm happy with the way the car sounds now, it sounds tuff and I like it, so I'm not sure if I wanna go to the length of changing the whole system, if I were it'd prob be a rapids 3.5" system or maybe a twin xforce system. So is it gonna be worth me getting a new dump? If so what should I be looking at? Or I'm thinking is it going to be worth me getting the turbo ported and flapper mod done? Looking to hit into the 300 but I'm looking for the car to be safe and reliable, the car does get driven hard at times so looking to get the car to make power easier without having to stress stuff Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cat and delted centre muff will handle 300 fine.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does it need to be welded in?one side will fit on to the turbo.. but the other side going in to the cat/exshaust. will need to welded or made to join because the stock pipes are smaller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The turbo is defiantly getting ported it was the dump I was unsure of. But seems iteould be a good idea to get one so I may aswell do it.
