obscure 1j conversions-dump pipes/problems?

Are others having difficulties getting exactly what they want in exhaust components? I am very close to having to commit to one shop or another and neither want to be bothered doing anything which is not in their standard "line-up" ie 3.5" anything or stainless flanges to go with stainless mufflers.Why would I have a stainless muffler or component with a mild [rusty] flange?
Anyway enough whingeing.1j dumps for projects that are not catered for is what I am asking for feedback on.Please assist if you have been unable to get an "off the shelf" item to cater to your conversion.I am NOT offering the solution and this is not a sales generater-I will not contact you offering a product but I will use the feedback to guage demand so please assist if you can. Cheers.Pete.

I had to get custom dump pipes. Why doesn't anyone make twin dumps for a 1jz in a 1982 Corona?

Sounds like you need to find a decent exhaust shop that specialises in performance applications. You pay a premium for such a service but they'll do anything you want using any material you nominate. I don't know of any in Brisbane but I found a great shop at the Gold Coast, and they built an exhaust and dump pipe for my 2JZ which is truly a work of art. It cost a fortune but I'm extremely happy with it.

thanks for replies,I want to gear up to make dumps for conversions that the mail order soarer pipes dont fit.ie twin 2.5 in 2 pieces flanged with optional collector into 3" and 3.5" and keep it fairly short so it could be adapted to most existing systems.Just trying to guage demand. Thanks again.Pete.

Yes,heard good things about Jack Beedhams and he is helpful on the phone,just a bit too far from me.I think there can be benefits in having your dump pipes organised before the motor goes in.
1. Easier to fit
2.Can be hpc coated
This is why I think it could be popular to have a good design set of dumps adaptable to your idea of the optimum system.
Thanks for the feedback. Cheers.Pete.

If you are doing an engine conversion, it is a custom job. Hence, you get a custom exhaust made. Put the engine in, take it to an exhaust shop, pay them money, get the car back with exhaust.

Digging up an old thread that I mustu missed the first time around.
Chriss, are you saying that the UAS or Marlew OTS Soarer dumps fouled in the Rona? I was thinking of trying a set of OTS dumps, but measuring clearances in 3D looks pretty dicey! And custom is not only pricey - but time consuming (off-road time  ).
Pete, what did you end up doing in the Cressy?
cheers,
Justin

Probably the same reason why people don't make tuned extractors for a 1uz in a 1986 Cressida?
I somehow don't think the market is there.

pm to justin.As I wanted twins right through on the cressi it was a little difficult but now they are in I can copy for anyone wanting same.[mx83] main benefit is twin cats which are the main impediment to good flow.Paul of celicamad succesfully convinced me that 1j.s with stock turbos benefit hugely from a long twin pipe section and twin cats if possible.Most cats are same internally regardless of 2",3" etc openings and often lose their ability to flow well quite quickly.Starting to rant,must end.
Cheers.Pete.

It was a joke mate Albeit a crappy one
Celia-Sue: I hadn't fitted those other ones because I couldn't really order them and just hope that they would fit and if not, take them back. If the jzz30's have the same sort of steering setup as a jza70, I don't think the dump pipes made by Lew or that other fella would fit mine. This is based on the fact that the jza70 single turbo kit I have needed to shorten the manifold 3" so the wastegate doesn't foul on the steering and the outlet for the exhaust also needs to be custom.
They may well fit, but I wasn't prepared to risk it that's all.
