So im trying to finish up my simple swap... I did the motor Sunday....Fine tuned everything Monday...did a lite wire tuck on Wednesday... Took a brake on Thursday .... And the Skunk2 Manifold on Friday and today......
SOOOOOOO.... the last thing i need to do is the exhaust...

i already have a thread going on which header to go (https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1932666) ....but now im tryin to figure out what size piping i should go with....

i know a local muffler shop that usually charges $250+ on a whole cat back exhaust but since its a buddy of mine .... he'll do it for $75 (basically payin for materials)


so any suggestions would help .... just let know ...THANKS GUYS!!!

 

most muffler shops don't have mandrel benders so i would suggest buying an exhaust rather than getting one made. but need a little more info, are you going to stay all motor, are you going to boost? nitrous? bigger is usually better though.

i just read ur reply so i called him ... he said that he does have the bender... so i guess thats good !!!! anyways i am going all motor... still a new engine w/ 30-40k on it so ill wait down the road till i decide to boost up... (just dont wanna f@#k up my everyday driver)

 

i wood go 2.25 anything over is for turbo applications is'nt it?

 

go 2.5 and you shoulda put the intake manifold on when the motor was out. it is so nuch easier

 

2.25" for N/A, any anywhere from 2.5" to 4" for turbo depending on power to be made (usually either 2.5" or 3").
