Better exhaust setup??

[MattTHEe30GURU]

Currently i have longtube headers into the resonator(Cat Delete) Then from the resonator is 3 inch piping into a Thrush welded chamber muffler.

People are saying im loosing power using 3in?? so should i go down to 2 1/2 in piping??

3" is overkill as a single 2-1/4" pipe is sufficient. But I doubt you'd see any difference in downsizing the tubing.

Nice looking system. Tucks up in there well.

Backpressure doesn't make torque, and certainly not power.

ill be going down to 2 1/2 or 2 1/4

this article is glossing over how headers work entirely.

you're wasting your money, but if it makes you happy..

I apologize the article I didn't write doesn't contain every little facet of information that exists regarding exhaust. He asked about downsizing his exhaust, this article has some info pertaining to his question therefore I thought it was relevant...

[nando]

it was relevant but it's also wrong. :p

If it were me I would have done single 2.5" exhaust. Since yours is already done (and looks nice!) I'd just stick with it.

[MattTHEe30GURU]

ill just leave it for awhile..but once a get new springs itll be close to the ground and ill probably gto 2 1/2

I've got 3" on my car, never scrapes. ;)

so just an update i just ordered a 4 foot 2 1/4in pipe from jegs. then im going to order a magnaflow cat and probably keep the thrush muffler.. ill just get a connector to the 3in muffler.
