gooday all
this for nissan owners
can you or can you not bolt a 3" dump pipe straight on to the nissan turbo (4.2tdi)or does it need a "increaser " to go from turbo to 3' exhaust
my belief is 3" bolts straight on
bloke at exhaust place tried to tell me that if only a small outlet from turbo they would leave original pipe and make adapter to go up to 3" exhaust which they did but stilll charged me for the 3" dump pipe
dropped the magic word in the middle of our conversation and the bloke said dont swear at me whats the P want me to do when hes ripped me off 200 Bucks
anyway he said bring it ih and we will fix it so it goes back on oh o 1-4 april fools so ill probably only get a 3L back

G'Day Steve,
I've only recently fitted my 3" exhaust from BD Exhaust.
The dump pipe on the system bolts straight onto the back of the turbo and is a fair bit bigger than the original dump pipe. The inside of the replacement dump pipe is shaped to conform with the weird shape of the turbo outlet. In the original Nissan dump pipe, the exhaust gases hit a solid piece of wall in the dump pipe, which from memory was about a 1/4 to 1/3 of the outlet blocked.
The new BD dump pipe bolts straight onto the back of the turbo and the 3" exhaust bolts straight onto the larger dump pipe.
Have also seen another manufactured 3" system at the local exhaust place near where I live. Which is basically the same as what I've got now with the inside of the dump pipe conforming to the shape of the exhaust outlet. It too also bolts straight onto the back of the Nissan turbo.
With the bigger dump pipe and 3" exhaust fitted, the difference in performance and exhaust note is noticable straight away. Deeper, throaty drone, better pickup and the ability to stay in a higher gear when pulling up hills on the freeway for a LOT longer etc.
Cheers
Shawn
