Cool

Things to know
  • flowmaster sucks
  • retain some form of resonator (pre-muffler)
  • <- likes Aeroturbine #1, Borla #2
  • Stock cat-back exhaust is 2.25" The cat exit is 2.5". 2.5" - 3" pipe is what you want.

If the standard exhaust is 2.25" etc, wouldn't you want to replace it with a 2.5" to ease flow restriction? make the cat exit 2.75"?
Just curious.

you can if you want. there's alittle power differance from the mid-range on by ging with 2.5 then 3" pipe, but it's not earth shattering.
