Rep Power: 315 exhaust piping...
ok... there are 2 main sizes for aftermarket exhaust systems for our cars...
2 1/4" piping, its about half an inch wider than stock
2 1/2" its 3/4" bigger
ok.. the main performance difference between teh 2 are this..
the 2 1/4" gives u more torque and some extra hp...(dont quote me on teh hp)
as for 2 1/2" thats more high end power...
since our cars only displace 1.7L and we are not turboed or supercharged(most of us)
now... the guy at the muffler shop told me that 2 1/4" will do me fine without major mods...
and as we all know restriction = backpressure = torque....
so i was like sure why not...
now the 2 1/2" lets more exhaust out... but is really limited due to the restrictive intake manifold
if you had turbo u can probablly swing a 2 1/2" but the 2 1/4" should probablly help with the mid-range power where it is most needed...
that is all...
