    Custom Exaughst Pipe question

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Whats the downside to installing a 2.5 Inch Straight Pipe from the turbos back?? Obviously CEL Light will come up due to no 02 sensors but will that effect driving / perfomance?? Probablly a dumb ass question but figured id ask thank u.

    lol.. stock is a single 2.25"... go AT LEAST single 3 inch, if not a 3 1/2". just get CELiminators that space the rear 02 sensors and you won't have a CEL. the rear 02s dont do anything that affect driving, they just measure and trip the light

    Re: Custom Exaughst Pipe question

    From what i have read on the forums, the turbo provides more than enough back pressure for performance, so the more free flowing the exhaust afterwards the better

    With deb's exhaust you'll be heard a mile away. Not very practical for daily use. Way to loud. Sounds good but to loud. Dual 2.5's sounds good and it isnt that loud. Still loud but managable

    They are actually about the same noise level. You could have a 4" pipe back there, and it isn't going to get much louder. It is just the fact that it has zero mufflers, resonators or cats, that is what really matters.

    no it isnt, I've heard side by side 2.5 dual vs. 3" single. 3"single take the cake.

    I'm retarded,mines only dual 2.25s. tony (aiellos4) has dual 2.5s.

    its much louder in person,and as for cops,you just need to keep your eyes open and foot ready to put the clutch in and roll by haha. had the exhaust for 2-3 months and only been stopped once but was let go (knocks on wood)

    My mom got pulled over by a local police officer, as she coasted by him. That should give you an idea of the noise I bring.

    Op'er, heres a vid of a dual 2.5 setup that sounds great.

    If you want something similar to this you'd need to get aftermarket downpipes, bigger ones. Using piggies dosent get you too loud. here are a couple vid of setups using bigger downpipes
