so im nearing the end of my build and right now i have a apexi ws2 exhaust. my basic setup consists of a gsr engine and tranny with low comp wisecos and eagle rods along with a gt3076r. how much of a power gain would i see with a 3" compared to using the world sport2(2.25")?

 

better spool up with the 3'', if u want to push high power get the 3''.


i did on my sohc made a world of difference

 

if your running a gt30R you NEED a 3" peroid. no ifs ands or butts.

a gt28R can get away with 2.5" on 10 lbs fo less, but not a gt30R.

word

 

With that turbo, a 3" would be a big plus. I want to say somewhere around 250-300whp, you'd start to see some real gains with the larger exhaust. "2.25 would be more appropriate for an all motor setup, ~220hp.

Just get a 4" like this

 

Well consider the fact that 3" has 77.8% more interal volume than 2.25", as well as typically having larger-radius turns. Due to the backpressure of the turbine housing/wheel, I believe in doing whatever you can to reduce exhaust backpressure. Hell, I'm running full 3" dp/exhaust on a stock d16z6 w/bad oil pump & smallish s-trim w/internal WG. Spools very quickly for what it is.

 

the WS exhaust is nice with an N/A application, but i had it on my boosted motor and hated life... it LIMITED ME hard....

im runnin a 3 inch now..

 

Keep your stock exhaust and get an e-cut out installed.

4 year warranty, great product and works beautifully and no hassels with full 3"
Heck of alot cheaper too. My .02

 

there are 400+hp factory cars running 2"- 2.5" pipes

its not about NEEDING its about wanting the "free" horsepower


yes there IS a point where you 'need' a 3" but for most of us its just more power

 

If funds permit run a 3" setup.. Its worth it.

I went with a Kteller stainless weld up kit.. Bough a 3" sidemount magnaflow, and by the time i bought my cat, downpipe material, flanges etc etc.. I spent around $650 in material, and its a full stainless exhaust so it should last.

I wouldnt recommend Kteller for anything but the exhaust kit, the other parts can be found much cheaper elsewhere.

 

wait, is this just for the 4dr teg?

 

Build a 3" system around the muffler im selling in the sig \/
It sounds really nice on a turbo car, not ricy and beehiveish

 

ive seen those go for less on ebay new

 

Run an exhaust cut out and advoid the noise on a switch.

 

$145 with shipping

sorry don't mean to jack i just needed to respond to your response

and a free bump for you!

 

What do you all think, would a 3" exhaust be overkill for a prelude with just a greeeeedy turbo kit running 13lbs boost?

 

Buy a Kteller exhaust from Kteller8 here on the boards. Quiet system with a Oval Magnaflow muffler.

 

thats what i have

That's right. 3" exhaust is always better, no matter what turbo you have.

 

and faster spool up is nice!

 

there is no such thing as overkill when it comes to exhaust size on a turbo car, bigger is always better

That's right. I plan on going with a 7" exhaust for my new setup.

 

5inch is about the biggest that will fit between the tranny and the radiator...
