Now apart from getting my turbo rebuilt, I then purchased a 4" intake with airbox and a nizpro 4" exhaust thanks to spoolxr6, although I was just thinking these past few days given my current list of mods in my sig would this exhaust be too big given I dont have a built motor pushing high power levels. Saying that my next tune will have to be a very safe one to pro-long the life of the standard BA motor (yeah yeah I know its now just a matter of when not if). So tell me what you think cause I was contemplating selling the exhaust, leaving standard exhaust on and keeping that money aside for a motor upgrade.Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure your tuner limits midrange torque and you should be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
