Default Need some help choosing exh size..

Sorry, this is a newbie type question, but a search won`t yield any results as nobody has this setup.

Setup: 2 liter GSR fully built JRSC`d. Using a Comptech 2.5" full race header.

2.5" or 3"?

I`ve planned on 2.5" for quite sometime, but lately I`m debating over 3". Once I up the boost 8lbs, it should be making about the same power as turbo`d cars that do really well w/ 3".

Any thoughts?

If the comptech header is like the kamakize which i hear makes good pwr then i would go with someting in the range of 3inch check out ktellr8 on the fi classified forum he has some good deals on diy 3inch setusps.

You have to know with an 3inch exhaust it is the loudest exhaust sound you ever hear on a JRSC setup. I was in the same boat. I welded in an carsound cat and an mid-pipe resonator into my 3inch Thermal exhaust and it was better, but very loud tho.

If I had to do it again, I would give the Thermal 3" silent version (with midpipe resonator) a try. The cat is a must, if you want to hear something from your stereo.

Yeah, this doesn't make for a good stereo experience..



So I went ahead and did this to quiet the exhaust since adding a Dynomax bullet didn't help much...

You should hear what I drive now

Art-I dropped him a line last week. Looks like a good deal

I do plan on running a cat and resonator.
