| 2" to 2 1/4" would be the biggest you'd want to go without alot of work done your motor. Any bigger you lose back-pressure and top end gets "breathless". |

i got a 2 inch exhaust today and put extractors on my wagon with 2 straight thru mufflers and all i can say is fuck i am impressed.
the wagon went from being a dog to almost keeping up with my twincam on the way from the club meeting... with a bit of work it could probably beat the tired old ZZ/T..
i got a big fat muffler off a WRX that i got free on the back of the wagon i swear it sounds so much like a flat four at low revs, turns heads it does  ) |

Loose backpressure???
I just fitted a "stage 5" crow cam...
blown 2 exhausts to bits in the last 2 months..
I'm thinking I NEED a bigger one.
(and louder too) |
