Default exhaust question

i have a eg hatch and recently put in a gsr. right now i have DC headers and a greddy sp exhaust. is it okay if i leave the piping to have more back pressure or would it be better if i went to a shop and put 2.5" piping. its a stock gsr only IHE

2.5 will give you more room to grow into. Just swap it out to 2.5 and remember to get mandrel bends.

It's not going to make a difference. Keep the stock piping bro!

It's a type of bend that doesn't hinder flow as much as crinkle or regular exhaust bending. Other bending narrows the diameter of the pipe during the bend.

...wow not a one person ragged you for BP. amazing.

uhm. are you planning on building this?

if so i'd get a new(way better) header, you have a greddy sp muffler not exhaust but keep it and get your 2.5 mandrel bent exhaust. it'll be fun then.

if not then you can just keep the stock piping since the performance part is not important.

It's a very difficult word to type, we understand and knew what you meant.
