Pretty lame exhaust shop if they can't bend some 3.5" pipe!

Anywho - the 3" exhaust is basically the same flow area as the stock exhaust, so you won't lose any power, but its not going to give you much either

that's what I throught to. But I no the guy and he's doing me a pretty good deal and I don't realy wanna spend alot - trying to renovate a house at the same time :roflmbo:

Best spend the money on your renovations....cause it will cost you again when u have to change it cause its too restrictive...trust me.

What exactly have u done and what power is it making..the reason why I ask is that if your not after a huge gain a standard exhaust might be ok ..so what power are you making now and what power do you want to get to...

it's probably about 250 kw and maybe 300 kw at the fly wheel.

So the standard exhaust is fine prob change the cat and youve already got the centre muffler removed and go and get a touch up retune

you can butcher up a stock system, I have a stock dump pipe into a 5 inch cat and some 4 inch pipe off that running into a splitter to make it fit the stock twin pipes, then into a berklea twin muffler stuck in place of the front muffler then stock pipes back to twin 3 inch hot dogs at the rear.

makes 330 rwkw.

no muffler no hotdogs just stock pipes off the 4 inch pipe with pipes welded in place of the mufflers (rapid systems) makes 350rwkw.

its clear that my system is at max and I need a new good system but I dont mind playing around with exhausts getting different sounds,
