Exhaust Opinions

You need 3.5" anyways.

I chose thermal. I have one on my 1g and it sounds and looks great. You don't have to worry about having a huge canister in the back. The tip on the thermal may look a little long but once you get used to it, it looks real nice.

Plus if you have elders who judge a lot, the thermal will pass for a regular muffler.

I agree that you should be going 3.5" on your car. I would build your own and do some research on mufflers. You can always just buy the thermal muffler (dunno about a 3.5") or Borla's are awesome too.

I have had the Thermal on my car for 13 years, that attests to the quality. It still looks and sounds great, a bit louder than it was new though I think.

I had the Apexi GT on my car and loved it. I now have thermal but have not driven the car. I have heard really good things about the megan exhaust. Its relativly cheap and its as straight as possible(from what I have read).

I actually have a Meagan Racing N1T muffler if you want to use that. It's 3" though.

Build, or have someone build you a 3.5" system. This guy posted some videos on Toonerz of an awesome custom built 2G system:

Id make your own. If you can weld and know waht to buy you can keep it under 200

Hmmm. 3.5 inch? I would like to know if there is a "real" difference between 3.0 & 3.5 inch exhaust systems? I already know the difference is .5 inch for the jokers around here. ;-) But here's why I'm asking. If I remember correctly my turbine outlet measures less that 3 inches with the p-trim, closer to 2.5-2.75 inches. I have a 3 inch down pipe which is bigger than the turbine outlet. So will I see a "real difference" going from a 3 inch system to a 3.5 inch system and why?

Im not an expert but this is what I think...
When it comes out of your turbo its all compacted in the 2.75" space, then it hits your 3" and that same amount of air that was in the 2.75" space gets more room in the 3" space and can move faster. Now if you can increase that to 3.5" then thats even more space for more air to come out. I dont know if that makes sense to you but it did in my head.

Yeah, but then it deadens velocity.
