Default 2.5" for an exhaust setup??!

What you people think about this???.........

a 2.5" for a Automatic Beta 1??...... is this too large and it sould be better a 2.25??.........

for now I´m running N/A.... but I think that next month I will be running Turbo.... so what do you think??....

I will loose a lot of compression?? or not too much?........

Any idea of gains or lost in the power range???

thanks

if your going to boost, then 2.5 - 3 inch depending on what psi your going to be running. I'd recommend 2.5

2.inch is fine. I don't know what your talking about compression... compression has nothing to do with exhaust. 2.5inch is fine for Naturally aspirated or mild-moderate turbo applications. I'm running 2.5inch on a N/A car and I lost no low end... the exhaust picks up around 3500-4000 is where you start to feel the power gain.

Did you have a custom crush bend exhaust or did you buy an aftermarket exhaust?
