got my car booked in for the exhaust to be done next week, and ol matey keeps telling me that going up to 2.5" is a bad idea because N/A cars need some back pressure.

After reading around on here and bill telling me that 2.5" is the business I thought I should just double check on wether to stay at 2.25" or tell ol matey to suck me doodle and put in 2.5"

opinions???

Bill is right 2.5" is the Business and ol matey is a knob.

ive got the same question to all too...might be bookin for an exhuast from liverpool pool exhasut as early as tmr...need help! =/

[GtiRboy]

I believe liverpool exhaust have done heaps of sportivos and have even produced extractors/headers i think, so i bet they would most likely say 2.5" as they are pretty good at what they do..or so their reputation seems anyway

Maybe the cheapo crappy things for a 1ZZ but if they have let's see some pics or evidence. Be interesting to see....

yea ive talked to them before about this and was told 2.25 is the way to go.

Sorry, bit of a random question here, but has anybody changed their exhaust piping to 2.5" and kept the stock sportivo muffler?

is there a big sound difference? cheers

I just had 2.5" catback with a S10 twinloop put in. No difference in power until 3.5kpm where it pulls and keeps pulling until you hit lift and it tells you that it was all worth it.

Im happy my twinloop went to a good home and that you are happy. :toast:

Not noisy at all, nice deep sound. Drones a little when I'm on the highway doing 105-110km. But since I take the M7 I'm usually at 100km/h. Generally if your cruising its almost like stock.

2.5" catback with a quite a big resonator. Only problem is that at around 4.5krpm my CES CAI completely drowns it out and takes over. So I'm happy that I still have my intake sound, as I think its more sexier!!

In the beginning I didn't like it because it appeared to be too loud in the cabin, but after about a week it became either quieter or I got use to it.

CES EXHAUST FTW :yahoo:

[Simo]

Getting full stainless steel with a red back muffler with a huge **** off twin twip tip for $500, the CES maybe later on down the track :P

I think you just gave me a good enough reason to get the same setup on my exhaust system. Sounds arwsum

[Suprathai]

I'll get a youtube clip of my car with the revs. I think greyrolla has a youtube clip on the S10 already online. But I'll get mine up and see if the 2.5" makes any difference to the overall sound.

That would be the bees knees!

car is in getting it done now

we going 2.5" so thanks lads

The only thing is that they could only do a dump pipe because of the size of mufflers they have :(

but the rear skirt my uncle has for me should cover it up :D

[Dead]

Piping is piping. I doubt you'd have to get the CES system later on down the track. It's the same but more shiny (bar the muffler design).

Headers from them would be a good idea though.

I have the CES headers and if i was to do headers again i would not have got them. The headers are ported on the inlet side only, the collector section was supposedly cleaned up . But when placed next to my stock ones, there was no differnece . You are mostly paying for the HPC coating. But having ported headers does make the car more drivable down low as described by many members.

If anyone is in sydney and wants their headers ported by a very reputable shop go see Westside Mufflers in padstow, located under JDMyard. He will port your headers both inlet and collector including taking them out and reinstalling for just under $400. I have had all my exhaust work done there and highly reccommend their work.

Good to know, cheers brother.

Westside are a good mob.

I always drool at some of the old school race cars they work on there, they do everything from cages to intakes.

[Simo]

WOW, What can I say, Powatone are ******en awesome downlow its pretty ******en loud but the higher you crawl up the rev range the quiter it gets untill the intake comes in
