    Hi,

    I just used the stock pipe and made an exhaust to suit that. Nothing fancy, it's just a 3" mandrel bend cut down and angled to clear the steering joint.

    do you think if i bought a jzx100 front dump it would be fine and then get an exhaust made up to join up to that?

    do i have to remove the dash ect and replace that loom also or just the ecu loom, are they 1 piece or 2 seperate ones

    (only done nissan conversions before and its really simple compared to toyota swaps it seems)

    Hi,

    Not sure on the dump mate. Having a quick look at the one out of Joeys JZX100, the picture is here - http://www.toymods.net/forums/showpo...0&postcount=22, I'd say it would go close to fitting. At worst the lower half would need to be rotated around to bring it up under the body. If you could get hold of a cheap dump it may be worthwhile, otherwise you’d probably be best to have the place doing the exhaust knock you up a dump from scratch.

    On the wiring front you only have to integrate the engine loom and ECU into the existing MX83 body loom. No need to pull the dash and replace all of the wiring.
