Re:Testpipe?

Just a suggestion...I have a 98' Eclipse GS (420a) it has a GReddy Headers (4 to 1) a 3" cat from http://mufflertech.com/ It gives a sweet as sound, sounds very tuned. Under 95 db, but still I have been pulled over ten times in it. :-(

3" exhaust on a non-turbo? or is it just the cat that is that big....the page didnt load for me...is that a real cat or a resonator that people are passing off as a "racing cat"?

The cat is 3" big, thus providing more flow. The catback exhaust is 2 1/2. The cat is off a Ford Expedition, and will provide tons of of flow for a four cylinder. They "said" it would pass emissions, but I dunno. Try http://www.testpipe.com

forcedinductionz: do you think 2.5" is a good size for the nt eclipse?...im asking because a friend and i will be using the same size tomorrow when we build his exhaust and we were a little affraid it'd be too big for a non-turbo with minimal mods...just wondering

I am video taping my car in action today, I'll post the movies today sometime, so you can check it out for yourself.

Re:Testpipe?

ok thanks a lot...ill pass the info on...with the mods he has, he has plenty of torque for now and takes cars off the line, but usually gets passed, so some top end hp should help
