Default 2.5" piping too big for an accent?

Hey guys...getting my new exhaust put in this week and I was wondering if 2.5" piping will be too big for an accent of if I should stick with 2". I need to know so I can tell the exhaust shop so they have the right piping in stock before I bring the car in. Thanks for the help.

if its the same price, just go with 2.5".. what are your mods? or plans of mods? anything more than I/H/E?



what is the stock diameter of the exhaust?



personally, i would go with 2.25" if it is an option or 2.5" if it is not.

If it's bent nicely 2.0 will be plenty, especially if it's your only 'power' mod.

Go with 2.25". I'm going to assume that the exhaust shop does not do mandrel bending.

2.25" is a common size, and the right choice IMO.
