like the topic says , i bought my car with a ghetto fab. exhaust that ran below the gas tank, then i replaced the fuel pump (cut the exhaust to drop the tank) well the car runs great with the open header but cant do that too much ( cops ,loud exhaust ish) so on to my question, im planning to boost my car very soon so i really dont want to buy a 2 1/4 or 2 1/2inch exhaust the njunk it once my car is boosted and go 3", so will the car run fine n/a with a thermal 3" for the time being ?? i know ill loose some power and so on but as far as just driving to and from work , will it be fine???

 

It will run fine just some loss in the power department.

 

yeah it will not be all that powerful not enough back pressure

 

My friend ran his EG (was going to go turbo) with a 3" exhaust on a b16a, I was expecting for the low end to be aweful, but i was seriously surprised, the low end was fine and the top end was even better!!

 

From personal experence, there is no need to unless going turbo. 2.5" is a nice medium

 

but i got half of my turbo kit pieced together, just dont wanna buy an exhaust now then another in a few months when i get the last pieces together. thanks

 

2.5 is great for a b16...
