Screamer pipe on lhd sr20 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Jersthecool · 03-06-2012, 09:26 PM

So I've decided I'm gonna get a screamer pipe and all of them say may require modification on lhd cars, so I looked it up and I guess it's because it could hit the steering column. Has anyone had any experience using them or any mods they had to make to make it fit? I've seen a couple people say that the isis one does fit without any mods and that's what most look like but I found one other that the dump is really short so I think that could work better because it would be out of the way. Here's the 2 I'm talking about.

Isis/most other ones

Other one I found

isis one fit without any problems i do suggest getting aftermarket gaskets on it. mine blew in a month or less.

Did the downpipe gasket blow or the other one? Also how much clearance do you have?

Edit: Also does the isis one have the seperator thing in the middle because I don't want a huge exhaust leak sound

umm i believe the turbo housing one blew but i still suggest spending like 40 bucks and getting new one if both and yea i believe it has that separator awesome product super loud under boost. as far as clearance it was a PAIN in the ass to put on but is do able i mean all elbows are annoying to put on just a lot of little turns with a wrench but i guess it builds character haha

Yeah the oem gasket looks pretty good it's like solid metal. Haha how sure are you that it has that separator because I really want one with it on it and I can't find any other angles of the isis. Well lucky me my engine is out right now so putting a new elbow on will be a piece of cake, I'm just wondering sitting in the bay how far away is the pipe from the steering column so I can get an idea when I'm dropping it in so it's not in the way when the engine is almost back in.

umm i suggest taking it off before putting it in i heard its a pain getting an sr in with any elbow attached and let me go see on the separator i got the elbow in the garage

Any chance you could put it on imageshack? Tiny pic keeps loading forever and photobucket never shows pictures for some reason

Edit: nvm it showed up. Did you buy it fairly recently?

Jasonx63 · 03-06-2012, 11:09 PM

umm i bough it like 6-9 months ago i am no longer using it i switched to a Tomei elbow
