DIY Exhaust

[MattyzST]

Guys,

Just wondering if anyone has the dimensions of the back of the Turbo (YD25 Thai build) as i am nearing building my exhaust and need the dimensions to make a flange to suit??
Or does anyone know who supplies the guys who make up the after market exhaust kits (Taipan, Roo Systems etc).
Do they make their own?

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers - Matt

Why build when you can buy one fit for $550 posted mate

I could probably get you the list of parts i used for my exhaust build...ive also got a thai build.
I did my own only for my own convienence as i work all the time and a good pipe shop is too far away.. i know mine is built well and its solid...i also had nothing to do for a few days..haha that helps.

I realize they are not all that expensive but i am a welder and i have enough S/S material to build my own. I doubt i could get a full S/S system that cheap.

Ebay mate? Might be easier. I only had a quick look, but im sure somone can make you a SS one.

otherwise if your taking your old exhaust of, use it as a template to make your own SS version?

Thats the only thing i regret...should have done it in stainless...
Never get a good stainless one that cheap

All sorted, got one from Evilbay, only $22.
Its Carbon steel but wont be an issue, i should have it built monday.
Hopefully i get a small result from making a more free flowing exhaust.
I want a little more stick but dont want to put in a chip as i will void my warranty.

Post up a pic when your all done mate!

Alright i have completed the exhaust, for what ever reason i can not move photos from my iphone to the computer i have tried numerous times. Sorry.

Car goes a bit better, not having to go back to first at every intersection is a plus!! Picks up quicker and has a real nice note to it now.
Built it 2/12 inch from the turbo back and stole the little Hot Dog muffler out of the end of the original system.
Gee the factory Dump Pipe was a head ache.
I've tried to email myself the photos and if it works i'll put them up.

Sorry again

Use photo bucket mate heaps easier

 

[MattyzST]

What is and how do i use photo bucket?

i Just googled it and signed up but that doesnt eliminate why i cant get them from my phone to the computer.
Its showing alot of old photos and about 100 different folders. Its never done this before ive uploaded from my phone numerous times.

Im lost!!

not to be a wise A mate but that dosen't look like enough clearance between the pipe and the rear diff'' nice job though

Very good point!! Nice spot

It's all good. First time flexing, the diff will make room for itself haha

 

[MattyzST]

Yeah it is a bit close, it doesnt seem to hit but if it does ill make up a higher bend like the factory one ive got plenty of bends left over..
