Well the time has come for me to get an exhaust fitted to my EG. I searched around and found what pieces I want...but I am trying to decide 2.25 or 2.5 inch. The motor is a 2.0 and I have rods and pistons when I get hold of a head. I am expecting close to 12:1 and hope to be spinnin around 8 k. Granted the header I picked out is a 2.5 collector... opinions?

2.5 - 2.75, if you ask me.

 

youve been on H-T for almost 3 years and your asking a dumb question... if your 2.0 and 12:1 compression, im assuming your motors gonna be decently built... 2.5" all the way back bro, nothing smaller, throw on a 18" resonator and call it good

First all motor build... go figure... I have to worry about noise. No turbo to make er quiet

 

And tanks for the responces

 

aye playboy..."sticky note" !18"! resonator... trust me! nothing shorter than that though... the longer the resonator, the more quiet

 

yea - these things get louder the more power they make from what I've seen

 

Yeah i am sure it will be loud. I am sellin of my truck to get a daily lol. Looks like I will be using just a vibrant muffler. I have no cat so not sure how it will turn out

 

straight pipe brother

 

LOL funk dat. My car is pretty well gutted as it is. I could not imagine the rattles lol

 

man i say 2.5 into a 3.

thats what i have on mine and I've seen proven results on other cars going from a 2.5 to a 2.5-3 inch exhaust with significant gains

 

Yeah it is just like anything else. Am I willing to deal with the noise for the few extra hp?
I think I am set on 2.5... gonna use the Vibrant flat black. And thanks to everyones responses... will be getting a decent resonator. Just not sure what to go with... cherry bomb?

I thought they were heavy as hell though?

 

Doesn't feel it to me, maybe 4-5 lbs? Its just a tube with some fiberglass...

 

Ah well I stand corrected then... that is more than reasonable. Well hell... time to fire up the water pipe and get to ordering stuff


Thanks again for everyones responses guys

 

listen here... i drive a 210 whp all motor integra, and my boi drives a 537 whp turbo del sol, we both run 18" resonators... i got 2.5 piping and hes got 3", theres nuttin wrong with cherry bombs but i heard to material inside is junk! go to your local muffler shop and theyll hook u up

 

Yeah I called my fab guy and he insist he has a few things lying around I can use. he says cherry bombs are not that great but will get me into something better
