2.25 or 2.5"
« on: Feb 3, 2005, 11:48PM »
Hey,

In the next week or 2 i will be getting my exhaust done finally and im not sure which size to get(2.25 or 2.5).....i know theres alot of posts on here about it already but everyone  i talk to seems to have a different oppinion about it, so which one?  ???
Is there anything else i might need to think about/know before getting it done?

ok basicly, to sum it up

if you plan on making power down the track, get a 2.5 and that'll save you money in the long run, if you plan on jsut having minior mods, i would still recomend a 2.5 must incase you decide to mod dow nthe track, or you could go the 2.25

It's been covered, 2.5" seems to be the reccomendation, as Pringles said, especially if theres further mods to come.

Im having that same prob violent, but I think i'll just go with what most of the ppl on here have and what the guys at the exhaust shop say is best. 2.25" seems to work pretty well for everyone

I got mine done at Darrens Muffler and Exhaust Centre (EDIT: in rosebud). I already had extractors and darren knew i was planning on doing a few extra mods, but he still recommended i put in a 2.25 (i also got a high flow muffler)

depending on if u get a canon or not, a 2.5 will be loud as hell, i have a 2.25 with 2 resonators and its still very loud

i'm going to lock this because this was discussed in much depth about 2 weeks ago. you can find the post here:

http://www.antrx.com/smf/index.php?topic=6302.0


get what you like, but personally if an exhaust shop told me they wouldnt put on the exhaust i wanted i'd go elsewhere.

2.25" will be fine for most people but i only say this because it seems everyone is completely oblivious of the facts that have been posted here many times before that 2.5" is better.
