How would a skunk 2 universal muffler sound?
I have a em1 with stock header and b16a2. I'm thinking about doing a custom 2.5 inch exhaust and was wondering how would the 3 inch skunk2 universal muffler sound?

For a real NA motor, that's been properly and fully built, 3" is perfectly reasonable. For a D series with no internal modifications, and no form of FI, it doesn't matter a single bit. Exhaust back pressure is a myth, propagated from people who think 2 and 4 stroke engines are the same.

I found a good page that has the formulas on calculating pipe size and muffler size, the pipe sizes they come up with are probably on the conservative side, they can probably flow a little more http://www.exhaustvideos.com/faq/how...pipe-diameter/

Any for any kind of performance motor, that might matter. For a D series, or stock B series...it doesn't, especially considering the ECU probably won't even be tuned. You're also trying to conveniently leave out differing tubing sizes, as well as directional bends.
A 3 inch muffler on 2.5" piping will not do a damn thing.

You're talking to a guy who studied fluid dynamics in college. I understand how it works. I also studied mechanical engineering. You need to take both pieces of the puzzle into account with each other. What you seem so intent on arguing is a moot point, though, because...

You understand that the math exists. I understand how it works. The OP isn't talking about slapping a 5" exhaust on his car. For the OP's motor, his proposed exhaust setup will accomplish exactly nothing other than change the sound.

Okay. I see now. A 3" muffler because you THINK you might go turbo (but you never will)? But you'll keep the rest of the piping the same? Dumb idea. And is it a 3" tip we're talking about or a real 3" straight through? Either way, dumb idea.

it's possible he wants to run a 2.5 inch exhaust but they only make that muffler in a 3 inch, thats not that big of change over the size of the pipe, I mean it could be a 4 inch muffler on a 2.5 inch pipe
