Installing Hytech Header this weekend, Should i upgrade the exhaust..?
Okieeeeeeee
So i've had this header sitting in my room for like 4 months.. Aint had any time or money to install this damn thing.. so.. ya.. Its a Hytech 2.0 big tube header. Currently on the car is some dinky knock off header with a 2.5'' collector, i'm running a flexpipe which is 2.5(b pipe) then i got my tsudo N1 2.5 all the way back exhaust setup.
Here's the thing.. This collector is actually a tad bit bigger it looks around 2.75'' but its a real deal Hytech.. Should i just run a whole new exhaust setup to my n1?
I Love tsudo, its a great system and it makes great power, Sounds good too.. But i dont want to bottle neck anything.
My thoughts were to put thi son, get a 2. w/e measurement it is flexpipe and just connect it to my exhaust..
But then i thought why not cut out the 2.5 '' crap and just go 3'' all the way back, this is on a DC2 if anything is wondering, incase length becomes a part.
Thoughts?

What's done to the motor? How about running 3inch piping with a nice sized resonator? A 3inch flat black vibrant muffler or Magnaflow muffer would work nice too.

Its a stout setup, i dont feel like listing everything because its too much. Search my name my setup is listed around somewhere, its a 12.0cr, stage 2 cams, fully built head etc etc.
I LIKE my n1 setup, Just inquiring if i should go ahead to a 3'' piping..

You need to do 2 things....
Measure the OD of the outlet tubing of the header (not just estimate it) and contact Hytech and ask John for his recommendation.

I was already on that route..however i wanted to see if i should just stick to my full catback system or modifiy it. "John" at hytech isn't going to be able to tell me what is going to be the best bet, every car reacts differently to different things done, i'm just trying to get a take on others running a 3'' exhaust compared to a 2.5'' exhaust with this hytech.

I'm not changing god damn mufflers lmao..
I love the sound this exhaust gives off, and its perfect, I like it loud and deep.
Secondly i guess i'll do 3'' because its obvious, now i just gotta figure out how to aquire a 3'' exhaust piping..
