Default Is 3.25 piping too big for EG's?

I bought a straight pipe today but it was 3.25. Should I return it or keep it?

That's great...if you've got a 600hp H22 turbo or something. If not, it's waaaay the **** too big.

Jason Hunt runs a 4 inch exhaust. So in some cases 3 inch isn't big enough. In this case 3 inch is way too big like they said

Well, if it's just the straight pipe, and it will fit between your header and b-pipe with out leaking, meaning if it's not way too huge, it won't be THAT bad, because you are only replacing like 14 inches of pipe. However, i really don't think it will fit right.

If you have a free Magnaflow exhaust, why don't you put that on your car?

What made you think that 3.25" exhaust piping would do you any good?

PLEASE move out of NC, NOW!
stupidest comment of the day!


but as for the topic, if you're going built and turbo...and pushing over 350whp, then it's COMPLETLEY fine. If not...too big. You'll have no exhuast velocity.

Yeah only smart people allowed in this state!! Seriously, 3.25 if huge. I really doubt if it will even seal agianst your header *or turbo mani* and exhaust.

That is neither here nor there, now is it? This guy doesn't have a built, high compression B18C. He's got ****. 3.25" is way too big.
