swappers, what did you do for exhaust? Options

[brianforster]

now we all know that 3" is pretty standard for all our swappers.

what did you do for exhaust? custom from a shop close to you? make it on your own?

whatd the shop quote you?

how much was it if you did it yourself?

looking for general price quotes here, trying to plan out the finishing touches of the swap and the only exhaust shop i called said "theyd have to look at the car".

to cut down on costs i think im going to buy my own cat and muffler from summit (43 bucks for cat, 18 bucks for muffler, summit turbo muflers for the win!) i just wanna know if you guys have any idea what it will cost. i already have a downpipe.

i tried searching, but everyone just says they have 3" exhaust, not where or how they aquired it, and since they are all custom, was wondering what everyone did for it!

thanks as always

i run my turbo with an pretty much open downpipe (well right after the cat) makes spool time much faster..less restrictive

pure and simple you only exhale as much as you inhale...anything over 3" diameter on a 4cylinder motor is over kill because you simply don't move enough air..by the end of the pipe your exhaust is moving so slow that the newest exhaust is probably pushing out the rest of wat has slowed in the pipe

I am too tired to type a long response but suffice it to say that this is incorrect.
