Do you plan on going turbo anytime soon? If not 2.25" should be good for a N/A car for now.

I wouldn't get anything larger unless you have plans for a turbo, or LS/VTEC setup.

Re: (Kendall)

Same question. I've heard mostly remarks about how if you're going N/A like I am (Ls/Vtec) you should stick to 2.5" piping. Any larger, like 3" piping is better only for F/I. With 3" piping on a N/A car, will there really be so little back pressure that it'll hurt you? It's been covered before, but I wanna know for sure.
