i was wondering, im planing to go all-motor with my 01 prelude and so far i have an injen intake. What size piping shoud i do for my catback? I was planing 3' because it will sound better and perform better on the highway. I'm so confused?

 

from what i have heard the tenabe is a little on the loud side

stanweezi you do not need a 3" unless your boosted or have a really high comp high hp motor. 2.5" will be perfect for you.

 

thanks nonvteclude! my question is, if i am going to turbo it or go all-motor with alot of power, can i go ahead and do the 3' now. im just concerned, will i be losing alot of power and gas?

 

yes tanabe's are on the loud side. not my style tho.
Check streetfire.net for soundsclips

 

it depends, the canister style can be louder typically, but mine's not and its pretty loud

 

thanks for the info guys.

 

2.5" size piping is the sweet spot for N/A motors.
