hey, im new to this board and have been reading around and searching for a while before i actually decided to make a post. anyways i was browsing around and saw the hks carbon ti muffler and really like the way it looked. i was thinking about getting it and just getting some custom piping done, but the specs on it says 75mm/pipe 120mm tip. im sorry if i seem like a retard, but what size piping would go with the muffler? not really conserned about the tip but if u wanna tell me thats cool. oh yea i plan on going with a turbo set up in the near future. any help would be appreciated. thanks.

 

You would want 2.25" piping.

I looked it up, 75mm = 2.9inches

 

so would this exhaust be the wrong choice if i plan on turboing my car? thanks.

 

What kind of engine do you have?

If you plan on getting a turbo exhaust, wait till you install a turbo first.

 

hmm..... maybe ill just have to do that then. i just liked the look of the hks. oh yea 00' ex sorry.

 

if 75mm equals 2.9",you'd want to go with 3" piping for the turbo....but,like was said below,that 3" exhaust is gonna hurt you until you're actually turbo.

but i can go with that exhaust if i plan on going turbo? cause ill just get it now and keep it till i do get everything set up. u said that comes out to about 2.9 inches, would there b a way to make that work with 3 inch piping. sorry as u can tell in a real noob to this stuff.

 

anyone?

 

sorry to seem like a pest, but i was looking to order this very soon if it would work. will it work with 3 inch piping? again thanks.

this is just plain bad information. why would you ever want 2.25" piping for a turbo car? I wouldn't even run that on a NA car. turbo car you should have 2.5" to 3".

 

3 inch piping will work great.

I have a friend with the whole HKS cat back exhaust on his 94 Supra, and a friend with cat back on her WRX.

Sounds MEAN

Haven't seen one on a Civic yet

 

so this muffler can be used with 3inch piping? is that right? and if so, can any universal muffler work with any size piping. thanks for the helpful info.

 

is that right? yes? no?

 

?

 

to answer your question.....
yes a good muffler shop can make 3" piping fit that muffler. They would just need to make a flange to connect the piping because the size is a little off.

there is no reason a quality muffler shop cant weld 3" piping to it.

good luck

if you're looking for a nice exhaust, Thermal R&D makes a 3" exhaust for Hondas and Acuras... specially designed for turbo setups.

 

hmm i might have to think about that thermal exhaust. thanks for all the helpful info. much appreciated.

 

alright one last question..... if i were to get this muffler and maybe get the 3inch piping from accordingly done would that b an alright set up for a turbo setup? thanks.

 

ya it would be about as good as any other, its a stight through muffler so performance is all the same

 

cool. thanks for the help

 

if your going turbo at least a 2.5 inch exhaust restriction is your worst enemy, it might be loud and annoying but its worth it
