Advice on Exhaust
 

Someone offer me a chance to get a used but in perfect condition DC Sports stainless steel 2.5" full cat back exhaust for $175. Is this a good deal worth taking? Will this be a big enough my turbo setup(t25 around 7psi, but later want to max at 12psi).

Re:Advice on Exhaust
 

Yup, 2.5 is plenty big for your setup, that is what our Turbo z6 hatch uses, a custom 2.5 setup...I do recommend removing the cat convertor though.

175 sounds pretty fair,

If I just kept stock exhaust would my turbo run like crap?

Re:Advice on Exhaust
 

It would work, but I recommend upgrading asap, I have ran a few cars with stock exhaust and turbo.. its pretty doggy.

Do I have to replace the cat asap as well or can I wait on that. Do you guys have any test pipe sort pieces or could make one, just give me a price.

Sorry we dont sell anything...

You dont have to do anything to your exhaust system if you dont want to.. I am just trying to explain to you, that your car will run better with a "Free Flowing exhaust" some people keep cats, some dont.. I personally think they are a huge restriction.

check out www.testpipe.com they are kinda spendy though.

$175 is a pretty good deal. I'd snatch that right up!

Re:Advice on Exhaust
 

2.5 inch with test pipe will be plenty fine.
your gonna need some back pressure on that little turbo to keep some top end.

if you were doing say 15 or so.
ricky says thermal knows best.

thermal stainless 3inch turbo exhaust.

backpressure?

That word doesnt consist in my vocab after I switched to FI ::)

Re:Advice on Exhaust
 

backpressure and turbo dont go together well sorta like vanilla ice cream and sowercrout they dont go either.
