3" from the turbo back and a muffler with a straight through design as opposed to a chambered muffler would be one of your best options from a performance standpoint. Hell you don't even need a muffler

thanx for the replies guys much appreciated bump

i was thinkin 3" to either apex n1 of hks hi-power

macDelli

anybody ran the hks hi-power exhaust before???

I'v heard they are v.gd, not as loud as the Apexi N1 but gd quality. I still went for the RSR GT2 though

imo its more bling than anything else. For half the price you can run a simple ss 3" magnaflow turbo oval muffler.

The extra money saved can be used for other more important parts for your setup.

also the hks and apexi exhaust for hondas are only 60mm (2.38"). just go to kteller.com and pick up some 3" piping and a nice muffler. much cheaper anyways.

ive always driven quiet cars i have an rsr ex mag on it right now for daily drive use but i want to get another exhaust for my new turbo application something that is a little bigger for better flow...i guess kind of bling too

Kteller.com

Get the 3" piping kit with a 3" hi-flo cat and a 3" resonator and a 3" muffler. Will be quiet enough.

I personally have a full 3" downpipe to a 3" kteller exhaust to a 3" inlet 4.25" outlet ebay muffler. Loud? Yes.. but it's a deep loud.. not a zing zing.

macDelli

ill probly go full 3" exhaust high flow cat into an apex or hks im still torn on which exactly.

macDelli

for my hatch hks is $550 and the apexi n1 is $450 so its a little different

dpetro1

like i said the hks and apexi are not 3" for hondas

http://www.hksusa.com/products/?id=715 only 55mm

http://www.apexi-usa.com/produ...Num=1 only 60mm

if you want a bolt up cat-back that is 3" check out thermal
