a 3.5" pipe has about 27% (26.530612244897952%  ) more surface area than a 3" pipe...

Re: Exhaust Opinions
The turbo provides more than enough back pressure. You want as little as possible after that, it is an NA car that will need some back pressure. And velocity does nothing for the exhaust once it is out of the turbo unless you are trying to shoot it out fast to act like a jet engine and propel the car :P

Re: Exhaust Opinions
The less exhaust after the turbo the faster it spools and the more power it makes. The best turbo exhaust is none at all.

Re: Exhaust Opinions

Re: Exhaust Opinions
You'll have to post some pics up when it's done! Do you plan on running a muffler? I think old man Hill's is all just straight 3.5", maybe a resonator. Pretty loud none the less!

Re: Exhaust Opinions
It won't be as "bling-bling" as everything else 'cause I'm not crawling under there to clean it. ;-) Will have a nice muffler and tip though.

Well I guess I could add another tunnel down the center of the car.

Re: Exhaust Opinions
OK, here's what's on the way.
Borla XR-1 race muffler 3.5 in/out
Dynomax Bullet 3.5 in/out resonators (2 of them)
3.5 inch S/S piping, bends, etc.
3.5 inch v-bands, etc, etc.
Should be fun.

Where'd you pick this stuff up from? What grade of SS are you going with?

Re: Exhaust Opinions
I am sure it is 304SS, that is the main thing available. Looks like a nice setup although the 2nd resonator might be overkill. The Borla's sound damn nice, wish they were cheaper!

Re: Exhaust Opinions
Everything is coming from Jegs. 16 gauge 304s/s piping. The resonators were pretty cheap, so I got two of them. Basically I'm going to build a duplicate of the Apex-i N1 system I have in a true free flowing 3.5 inch set-up.

Re: Exhaust Opinions
Well the exhaust is done. 3.5 inch from the flex section back. System is almost completely straight line until it does a slight dog-leg under the rear end. There are almost no angles involved with most of the system, only slight tweaks that are way too small to even consider trying to cut and insert angled pipe. Glad I went with two resonators. I would not recommend using only one unless you want a really loud car. It's about the same volume as my old APex-i N1 system, but with a much deeper tone, almost has a Flowmaster quality to the tone at times. I'll try to get some pics posted this afternoon.
