Default question about the skunk 2 cat-back

I did a search but couldn't find anything. I was wondering is there a big difference on power gains between the two skunk2 exhaust's? My question is am i better off getting the 70mm piping or the 60mm piping for my si? I am eventually gonna get the DCRH also

Whats the best price you guys have seen around for the 70mm and where can i order it from?

Best price ive seen is $530 shipped does that sound like alot

Any info would help thanks

It all depends, generally (not always) the larger the exhaust the more power (hp) it yields, but the less torque it yields. That said, I have read on multiple occasions that the K20 seems to like big piping for gains in both HP and Torque.

IMO...the 60mm is better for N/A cars with around stock hp...F/I or much higher hp should have the 70 mm

Here's a graph

Green * CAI
Blue SRI
Red, SRI * Skunk 70mm


You can see he has more power all the way thru the range with the skunk2 than us even though my peak was higher

i agree with 06blaksi as well.

on older model cars such as an EF EG, DA, etc. (Depending on what motor). It was always all motor 2.25in pipping, if you only had basic bolt ons.

if you started building the motor or went down the fi route, 2.5 to even 3in depending on how "built" the car was.

just depends on your future plans for the car.
