3sgte dump pipe

[ST185GT4]

Hi Guys, I brought a dump pipe (tuneagent from KTS guy on ebay) for my gt4 and went to put it on this weekend. The turbo end is warped and it is unusable.

Does anyone have a usable dump pipe???

Or can you steer me in the right direction....

I was thinking of trying monsta performance???

Aussie Exhausts in QLD do them, not cheap but very good.

Their 'Buy Online' section seems down at the moment but give them a call.

Spoke to Aussie exhausts.

They're not planning on making them in the near future. Fensport in the UK brought all the old stock last year. It would cost $AU350 to get one off them and that's not including postage. With the aussie dollar so high i don't think we'll get any more of them soon..

FYI All the ebay dump pipes appear to be cheap imitations of our aussie boys dump pipe. Pity the build quality wasn't as good.

Thanks for the response anyway...

Cheers

can you take the hektic tuneagent dump pipe to a machine shop and get them to mill it flat?

Another option, I got the ST215 version for my Caldina, cheap got it ceramic coated and the exhaust shop had no issues with fitment. Car spools better and is definitely a bit punchier.

You'll get it shipped to you door for probably $200 max.

Cost got a message from the seller and he said he'll give me a refund or pay up to $30 towards machining. Very happy. Although it would have been good to have it flat in the first place.
Will ring around as I'm in a rural area it might be hard to find a good machine shop.

Hi RONA, Is that the st185 version your referring too? And does it come coated (and flat) for that price??

Cheers

The link I posted was for the ST185 dump pipe. I personally own a Caldina so I didn't buy that exact dump pipe as my car has a different turbo. The pipe was flat and comes in stainless, it is quite a thick wall & the flanges are thick so shouldn't warp/bend. It is $175 NZ which is around $150 AUS then add shipping and possibly a bank fee depending on payment type and it'll be close to $200. From memory mine was $240 all up but I also got a new gasket which was around $50.

I got the exhaust shop that fitted it to ceramic coat it separately before fitment, they did not discuss any fitment issues with me other then then fact the car was a prick to work on due to the lack of space.
