Hey dudes. Im getting a custom 4-2-1 Header soon for my Vti, A Full CAI setup and also a VAFC2 is coming. I think i'll leave the cat for now. For the piping i think i mite go 2" from the cat to the rear zxle and then 2.25 " from the rear axle to the muffler. Is this a good approach or just a waste of time?
LOL the onli reason i'd wanna get 15's is so i can dump the car on the ground cause i cant go that low with 17x7.5,Quote:

i think my friend got his whole works for $1100 from liverpool exhaust and he had some pretty good results.
but it should be the same everywhere else i think the prices ur getting at midas arent that good along with the products.
i got 2" pressbent on my VTI. imo i noticed some small gains, but mate the stock exhaust is pretty efficeint anyway so it'll make ****all difference which one you choose. I'd go for 2" catback and ditch the headers/high flo cat.
2.5" or 3" all the way!!!!!!!
Back pressure is a myth well at lest up till about 3" :p
I shose 2" and it was a bad move :(
this is bad advice.:thumbdwn:
3" is way too big. so is 2.5" for a Vti.
when ppl say backpressure is a myth its because exhausts work on maximising gas velocity NOT backpressure.
its not a myth that 3" is too big for 1.6l NA
i guarantee you go a 3" exhuast and you'll lose power. a 2.5" will result in big power losses down low.
go find a honda tuning book and the chances are there will be dyno tests proving this.
go with whats proven and get either 2" or 2.25". mandrel bends if funds allow it
Well I know some very well known turners that would disagree but hey!!Quote:

I only gained 2hp with a catback, yet 10hp with my xforce headers.
same dyno same day.
my recommendation for vti.
2.25 pressbend.
well along with the mountains of ppl who will agree that 3" is too big for a basically stock 1.6l i will stick by my statement.:pQuote:

but go ahead and stick a 3" system on a Vti. you can only learn from experience.
maybe, just MAYBE you will see slight gains up top but the rest of the power band, where you spend 99% of your time, will see significant losses. and hence your car becomes a farty POS to drive
are you sure you weren't discussing a turbo setup;)
Well I am going 3" for Turbo but thats besidet he point as I was told about this when I was still looking into N/A gainsQuote:

yes and even then i could feel a little less power down low than a 2" system.
have you driven one with a 3" system? or has anyone? then we could get some first hand experience rather than what we've simply been told
but to be honest, if a 3" system was the go then wouldnt it be common knowledge rather than countless experienced ppl strongly advising us not to?
Your right, I’m not Speaking from experience but the person the told me is a very experienced tuner and I don’t understand why he would tell me if its not the case!Quote:

I will be going 3” before turbo so I guess I’ll found out :p
