exhaust ....bigger...better?
is the bigger(diameter) the exhaust (header, b-pipe , muffler) the more power u will gain from it? If its true then why dont ppl make 2.5+" cat-backs ?

it's only true to a point, 2.5" is about all you need for most NA setups with a 1.8 liter motor. If you go bigger, or go boost, you might want more that 2.5" piping

heh.
first off, reason being is they run the world around a metric system, just like the rest of the world. we're the only we-todd-did country to run with this impirical system crap.

No.... This has nothing to do with bigger or smaller...
You`ll have to find the optimal dimension for your personal setup, means: Find the perfect mixture of waste-quantity and waste-velocity.... Just like you design your intake.

You have English (US) which is the measurement to which we're accustomed in the United States.
You also have English (Imperial), which has largely fallen into disuse since the United Kingdom itself uses a mixture of English and metric measure. In the UK, someone might use litres to measure volume displacement, but the road signs are in miles per hour.
You might have noticed from reading owners manuals that Canadian gallons and quarts are a different size from US gallons and quarts. This is because at some point the US changed its English measurement system to be different from the rest of the English speaking world. I don't know why, and I'd appreciate knowing why, if anyone has that information.
Depending on <u>what</u> you are measuring, the US English system can also be called "SAE" for linear English measure.
