I am fully aware that the best exhaust piping for a turbo is 3". My question is until I can afford to purchase a 3" exhaust is it ok to run a drag 3 kit with a 5zigen axle back. I understand that the turbo will not be as effective with such small piping, but honestly is it ok? By the way, if needed the vehicle is a 96 integra se

yes, you're not hurting the car...your just not allowing it to get it's maximum power by having a 3". it's okay to drive on a "smaller" piping. anyways, i believe there's a post on here, where the difference in 2 1/4 and 3" piping was a 5-10whp difference.

Yea your not hurting anything, **** when I finally swap out my 100% stock exhaust for my 3" whenever it comes in I'm hoping it will be a night/day difference in spool/boost time etc....
