Good advice. I'll keep my eyes open for a good set of lightweight 15s.
Seems like the 2" or 2.25" debate will go on indefinitely. Maybe a good sticky will prevent it being raised every two days. But knowing forums, it probably wouldn't. ;)

If I just get one mod now, then swap over to JustCar when I have the funds to do it properly. Exhaust, intake, ECU, etc.
Sad that I have to choose. I'd like to do them both.
insurance companies are like tight arse bitch mums :thumbdwn: lol
Agreed!
lightweight 15's are about as easy to find as a tasmanian tiger in heat.
as for insurance companies - what they don't know won't hurt em.
as far as i can tell the theory as far as piping goes is that 2" should get u gains in the low to midrange but 2.25" should be a better top end.
Also I am astonished at your exhaust prices!!!
In SA we are getting ripped to the tune of 5-6 hunge for a press bent cat back! :thumbdwn: I wish i was in vic or NSW......
I have been calling around and researching alot as well for my dc4 and the Mandrel Vs Press Bent Issue is a dodgy one. The high end places here say yeah get it, but most medium priced places say its a waste of money. I think it would make some small difference but the biggest difference it makes to them is a fatter pay check. I mean most of our cars arent high high performance turbo engines, so just go press bent i say. I dont reckon u would notice any diff
when i got my exhaust changed form stock to 2.25" i felt i lost torque at low rpm(1000-2000), but the car felt it could rev to redline better(4000-7000). I reckon if u get the 2" u wouldn't et as much loss down low but u would also get less at the higher rev range..
so i reckon it depends on what u prefer.
Dont go press bench bent, its so crap in terms of all round diameter size of the piping, get pre made mandrel bent piping @ 2"
2.25 would be a bit big and real power only gained in higher revs.
Also if u search around u can pikc up 2nd hand headers for really good prices under $150 easily.
Trav won't give up on that point now will he!!!:pQuote:
