i am thinking of gettin the 3 inch test pipe, and the rest quite custom exhaust 2.5' so the test pipe is loud+exhaust is quite so it should give me that nice deep sound

 

look on www.cardomain.com, they have tons of magnaflow mufflers on sale there. They will tell you the inlet sizes as well as show pictures of all the tips.

 

how much you guys think it will cost if i purchase the testpipe my self, and rest custom exhaust system i know test pipe is 130-150, how much you think the custom should cost around from test pipe to the end 2.5'

 

Borla my friend, yaddaholla

 

thanks for the cardomain tip. speaking of custom check out this exhaust... the car is on ebay for 30K if anyone's interested.

 

Borla is the way i would like to go but $1000 CAN seems pretty damn steep if you ask me for just an exhaust upgrade. Magnaflow sounds great, can't argue with that...have it on the prelude, just no damn places in etown that can do mandrell bent piping

 

well i went to meineke by me with my friend and to do a full 2.5" exhaust to his muffler would be 130 with parts and install so its not bad at all.

 

3" would be too big unless you have big mods.. I guess we are all assuming you have a 1.8t since you didnt tell us..?? You need some back pressure, so, Id do 2.5"-2.75" if you are using stock turbo or dont have a supercharger.

 

I guess Miltech did extensive test on that subject and found a 2.5 downpipe and a 2.75 exhaust system gave the best increase in hp with a k03 and k04 turbo. I called stratmosphere asking for a different sized dp, he told me about the testing and then asked for my plans with the car.
