yeah hes about right...assuming you never go turbo..but if you want turbo...3 would be nice too...

**racergirl** · 11-06-2004, 01:25 AM

if i get 2.5 and later get turbo would it still be ook? it wont be till sometime next year IF i do engine swap.

I'd like to comment on this.. a buddy of mine got 2.5" custom mandrel bent on his Celica (crusnn2) and his car backfires like mad. I later got 2.25" after seeing his problem and I have the exact same muffler and setup as him, and mine doesn't backfire whatsoever.

If you plan to go with turbo then you'll likely want 3" but if you are staying N/A I strongly suggest 2.25"

if you are planning to go FI next year I would just wait and get the exhaust custom done for the turbo at that time.

all this tlak about 2.5 inches being to big makes half the celispeed guys feel more comforatble about themselves

**Pineapple** · 11-15-2004, 04:29 PM

They're talking about big, not long.
Stop thinking others got the same length as you.
