View Full Version : Exhaust ? unlmtdndeavor 02-23-2005, 07:39 AM 2.25" exhaust is what you want. 2.5 is too big unless ur plannin on forced induction. u can use the straight through muffler though. make sure to install a resonator and might as well get a high flow cat if you are gonna go manifold back Derk-xB 02-24-2005, 12:06 AM Is 2 1/2 dia. inlet/outlet strait thru muffler too big? Will i lose any torque? 1) Yes 2) Probably IMHO of course, cause I have no dyno data to back that up. :yawn: 02-25-2005, 05:52 PM That set-up would be for 1/4 mile runs only and you would lose low end torque. I say go with 2.25 inch pipe and you will be ok. :D I hope this helps. showpaojoe 02-25-2005, 07:10 PM You'll lose an INSANE amount of torque. The car will be so friggin slow. I had the same setup...do you mean the whole thing, catback, or axle back cuz even a catback straight pipe at 2.5" will make you lose a lot of torque. Mine was built in anticipation for nitrous use and the straight pipe along with the DC headers...DAMN, slowest sh*t on the street. Thats when I got SMOKED by a Prius because of that exhaust hotbox05 02-25-2005, 09:05 PM damn , that sucks, THE OBDII cats are not available any shop that trys and sell you a high flow cat is selling you an illegal part. they are selling you a OBD0 or an OBD1 cat. unlmtdndeavor 02-27-2005, 12:10 AM damn , that sucks, THE OBDII cats are not available any shop that trys and sell you a high flow cat is selling you an illegal part. they are selling you a OBD0 or an OBD1 cat. really? i have a magnaflow OBDII high flow cat. it is available on their website.http://www.car-sound.com/catalog/universal/430.aspx they say its OBDII compliant 02-28-2005, 01:23 AM damn , that sucks, THE OBDII cats are not available any shop that trys and sell you a high flow cat is selling you an illegal part. they are selling you a OBD0 or an OBD1 cat.

I'm just replacing the muffler and not the pipes. The muffler i got from PNP and it has on inlet/outlet dia. of 2.5 straightthru. crayonBOX 02-28-2005, 04:37 AM hope you've got a silencer...its not pleasing when you're driving long distances :) ~tesh jic magic bullet stainless axleback windowtint 02-28-2005, 05:21 AM The box's don't ever sound really buzzy - they do get a tone to them which can be tiring on a long distance - but not as bad as a Honda. to be on the safe side, I have TWO resonators, one right after the other, and it sounds damn near stock with just a little more growl to it. |
