Hello all,

Nice site. I drive a pewter AU s15. Pretty much stock except for Magnaflow catback. When my bank account allows, plan on getting hks split dump/front pipe, cold air intake, 18" rims, aero front bar (or decent copy). Cheers guys

Since your in BrisVegas, maybe you should have a second thought about the HKS split dump pipe/front pipe and go an visit the guys at CES and get one of their Dump and front pipes in 1 :D it will be the best decision you will make.

Yeah, I had thought about getting one, but had heard a couple of people complaining that the pipes crapped themselves after a short time- positive feedback seems to outweigh the negative though. Xforce (much cheaper) do a HKS copy, but haven't heard a lot about them. Am going to do a little more research before deciding.

Does anyone think it's worthwhile getting a high flow cat as well? Not sure how restrictive the OEM cat is.

The earlier versions of the CES dump pipe had issues with cracking around the welds at the top of the pipe. But the design was revised and they now use a thicker metal for the pipe.

As for whether or not to get a high flow cat, your standard S15 cat will suffice untill you reach about 180-190rwkw. If you plan on going further then you will need to change it for a higher flowing one.

Didn't know design has been revised. Worth thinking about, because would prefer one-piece with lower wastegate pipe.

Won't be around that power mark any time soon- :mad: - bloody house renovations drain too much cash

Hey, I'm from brisbane too.. and a pewter s15 to add!.. :D I ditto with the CES. Got mine a few months ago and no problems with it. Trevor at CES was very helpful and they know what they're doing with their dump pipes. Check out my post in the member's ride area to see the dyno result..

Let me know if you'd like to check out the dump pipe on my car..

You should have seen the S15 meet we had in Sweden a month ago :D
We had 3 S15 in the same place. Had to get reinforcement from Norway to be able to break the figure 2 :)
I think that was all the legal S15s in Scandinavia. Awesome sight :D

Yeah, I am also out this weekend, as I will be fitting my dump and front pipe finally. Given my puny office worker arms :ghey: it could take a while.

Is there only 3 people from Brisbane here?
