ive never really been a big fan of split dumps, might just be me haha, but i see the gas's flowing at different rates out of the dump and creating a little more restriction cause the exhaust gas's are being boosted out? but thats just my pov!
ive never seen a split front pipe..? but i dont really see a point to it either.. BUT it is made by HKS and im sure they know a hell of alot more then i do hahah!

the metal intake pipe you can get from apex performance, the elbow and downpipe would of been from ths performance if they did them any more, they used to do both for 129.00 and the quality was good....

Why does it have to be shiny parts you are never gonna see them:p.
I have an all in one Dump and Downpipe. I had the seperates but got a blow by from the gasket between them,so by getting the all in one pipe I did away with the gasket altogether,result:nod:.

I got mine from fleabay a place called Flying Performance in Aus were the only ones doing it when I bought mine not sure if anyone else is doing them now I will check and let you know. No its not shiny and I welded a flex into it cause I have a tubular mani, the flex prevents stress on the mani so it wont crack the welds,which some do.

I agree with Dean the THS flexi downpipe and elbow would be my choice if i was doing it again... Hopefully means less Turbo gasket changes too!

Dont they still sell these then?
