think this might be a problem?

[forcdincivic]

Hey I was just thinkin about this, and was wondering if you guys think it would be a major problem or if it really isnt too big a deal....my charge pipe and downpipe are 2.5" but then my exhaust is only a 2" pipe back....think taht would restrict a lot or probably not make TOO much of a difference? Just wondering what you guys thought, ill probably change it at some point but let me know what you think and if its worth it

shoudl be fine for low boost

 

[forcdincivic]

im running about 9psi right now....and ill prob keep it that way cuz im not planning a build right now

 

[dented]

Should be alright... But when you want to go with more boost, and you will, you'll most likey want to go with a 2.5-3

 

[forcdincivic]

Do you think i could do like 2.5 charge pipe and d/p the open it to a 3 inch all the way back? Just so i dont have to redo all the piping and s**t

 

[Steven.]

unless your goign over 300 hp, stay with 2.5 pipes
maybe 3" DP and 2.5 exhasut

k sweet thanks, as long as i know i dont have to spend more money on that right now lol

my 2.25" piping caused me to stop making power in the top end...

 

[forcdincivic]

really...did u change it or you still running it? How much power are you making right now?

smaller piping = slower spool

it isnt an n/a motor, the bigger exhaust you run, the better. if you ever plan on upgrading the snail, run the 3" now so you dont have to buy another exhaust down the road

 

[forcdincivic]

im only using a t3/t4 for now, and i spool up at a bout 3500, so i mean i probably wont be upgrading it for a while....and yeah with a n/a motor i know it wouldnt be good cuz u need the back pressure and with a turbo its not as crucial. so do u think if i ran the 3 inch with my turbo it would be a little more productive?

yes
