Having B Pipe woes? - Page 2

Servin m get the Total price to your door first the compare . Remember these UK ones dont have the shields . Drom what ive seen /experience out of the UK they only use couriers no postal , so big bucks

^The Oem part is a good bit higher quality. These UK pipes are decent, but look like a guy making them on his own. The materials aren't quite as good either. With my mk1, I'll end up hacking off the rear section of this pipe anyway.

Courier service? Oh hell no! That might be why no one I contact over there wants to ship. The only international post I use is EMS, bar none the best service you can get.

I dont mind not having the shields, I actually like the fact its stainless, vs the heavy steel OEM uses. I want to lose weight in the back, seems the MR2's ass is too fat.

Im still undecided, Ill be working on the Spyder piece tomorrow and then go from there.

I still have the BEAMS MR2 B-pipe without the V-part (it's cut off, I'm using it with a custom piece weld to it that fits the celica), you can perhaps weld it with your MR-S piece.

Well I went ahead and ordered a OEM true MR2 BEAMS B pipe:

Total cost to my house: $588 USD!!

I must be crazy

Did your local dealer know how to order those? Were they able to do anything with the JDM/BEAMS part numbers?

Hell no it was ordered straight from Nippon, hell here they have a hard enough time with regular US part numbers, that I dont trust them. But I have access to a current US EPC and look up my own numbers. I got my BEAMS timing belt here in the US.

huge2na · 11-19-2009, 08:08 PM

Would one of these pipes fit my rav 4 and celica beams engine or will I need the celica one specifically? I think I know a dealer that can get me one in the states. If you know the part numbers please let me know,

Terry

So they do switch to Japan ordering system them, must be because the USDM parts list does not even get anywhere near our part numbers....let alone if you mention 1998/1999 MR2, they will look at you funny.
Got a special relation**** with them huh?

Yes and no, 4-2-1 headers/exhaust manifold will, the rest is kinda pointless since in your RAV4 it will need to run all the way to the back. Better off with the Celica headers if anything.....or proper RAV4-BEAMS manifold....which I have no idea what model/year/code it is

MANDALAY · 11-23-2009, 12:08 AM

Rav no good as remember the greytop has its cats on the exhaust manifold.
Maybe the rav has the same b-pipe flange , if it does he could use the Red Top's one

NEW OEM B-PIPE = MANDALAY FEVER

Who said anything about messing the engine flow up by putting the cat there?

I'd put the cat down stream like the Celica....

I was refering to what you said about using the "Proper RAV4 Beams head"

It has the cats

No foolio, I ordered from a friend who lives in Japan and ordered it from Toyota of Japan, who then shipped it to me here in the states.

I could try and **** as much as I wanted to with US dealers and not even get a JDM STD.
