Im thinkin one of the reasons why it sounds so crappy is probably cuz im running no cats at all. But is 2 1/4 big enough for forced induction?

I'd go 2.5" or 3"

Never too big for forced induction.

Well, i've come to the conclusion that FMU is not the way to go. And im thinking a 2.5 inch exhaust all the way through with a boost controlled cut out rite before the cat. THanks again to everyone participating on this set up.

The only problem with that cutout is that it doesn't help spool time at all since it only opens AFTER boost is already present. :l

I had one for my GTI, and theres a seperate wastegate actuator that you can throw a seperate boost contoller on. So you can set it to open up fully before full spool.

I bought their mild steel FULL exhaust kit and one 14" resonator. If you are even thinking about doing a cutout; keep the stock exhuast. Do a manual cutout or an e cutout but the boost dependant cutout is really not gonna helpmuch...also, NO LESS than 2.5" my dp is 2.5 and my exhaust is 3". I willupgrade toa 3"dp soon enough. I miss open dp...

yeah if your going to to a cut out, just make it a manual one and get a chambered quiet muffler to replace the rice boy one you have now. try one of the universalls off summit racing. youll save money since you wont be replaceing your whole exhaust, just the muffler. also a cat helps alot to eliminate the raspy sound. if you dont want to run a cat at least use a resonator to replace it.

It still doesn't open until AFTER spool so it doesn't help spool time much at all. :-\ I would just get a manual one.
