anyone have any worthy advice on going 2.5 vs. 2.25 exhaust size for a 3.0.

 

go with 2.25 if you are just going to do bolt ons (intake, headers, pullies), and you want to keep the low end tq, but if you do that you might as well jsut do axleback becuase the piping is already 2.25 then goes down to 1.75 at the rear tire.

If you go with a 2.5" piping you will lose about 3-5 ft-lbs of torque before 4000 rpms, but gain about 3-5 above, so it really depends on where youw ant the tq.

If youa re going to be sprying nitrous or do some other kind of forced induction (turbo/supercharger) then definitely do 2.5".

 

hmmm, ok. kinda what i thought, just wanted second opinion, thats all i have is bolt ons..intake, headers, we all could use a little more low end probably. thanks

 

On any V6 i would never go under 2.5inch piping. I mean i ahve a 4cyl and the skunk2 comes with 2.5inch piping

 

Anymore opinions on this?? I need to know the exact same question. 2.25 vs 2.5 for a 3.0.

I'll be addin a 22" resonator in between, if that makes any difference. A while ago, I saw people suggest 2.25" for 2.x, but then 2.5" for 3.0. Does that still hold true? And are there any major sound or performance differences between the two sizes?

 

you have skunk 2 exhaust, i was thinking about it but i heard it sounds

everyone and there brother has a magnaflow muffler with piping back on there CL.

 

Theres a reason for that!

 

The skunk2 is amazing. I never actually drove my car with it on just reved it up a bit. Its not a ricy sound its more like i have a 4cyl with balls sound

 

The reason for it is caues if you dont you get flammed hrd core.

 

 

It sounds like English, but I can't understand a damn word you're saying.

 

How bout some answers to the original question....

 

Resinators make no difference, they just muffle the sound more.
Your not gonna see ANY difference in your car between 2.25 & 2.5" except for a little torque difference as posted above.

 

^ Thank you, good sir. That is all I needed to know. I figured that info towards the top of this thread was correct, just wanted a second opinion. I guess I'll go with 2.25".

 

can u get 2.25 inch piping with a 2.5 inch muffler?

 

what would that reason be?

 

when i heard it, it didn't sound like a fart can but did have a rumble to it, a little low and does sound like it had balls.

 

yes or no
