mate, i recommend going to a reputable exhaust place in your area, have a chat to them about it... or even give Adrian from Toda in ingleburn (sydney) a call and chat to him about it, save having everyone on here tell you something different...

Hey, hey , hey ....slow down..........................
Nobody's talking about loosing power!
What we're talking about is driveability! With the 2.5" exhaust system you will definitely gain power up the top, but most definitely loose some bottom end and therefore driveability. And I'm talking here from the current experience. I had (and still have), the 2.5" system on my CD2R for the past 2 years.
And btw, I talked to Adrian from Toda before I did it. :D

haha fair enough, must of misread your post... or misinterpreted it :)
my bad
but still, the 4-1 headers i put on i've noticed increased power over the whole rev range... mainly up the top, but down low aswell
i suppose it all comes down to what people define as drivability... i mean, to me, a car having bad drivability would be having a brass button clutch on a daily driver which is used in peak hour traffic etc... but yeah to each their own :)

Peace man.............................
I believe you, you have subjectively noticed increased in power................however..................
only a dyno session - before and after - can confirm whether you have actually gained power and where.
Good driveability means that a car is easy to live with.
Yes, a brass button clutch does not promote a good driveability. :D

yeah, i mean, i think with these basic mods it can also have the placebo effect where your mind makes you think you've got increased power, but i definately do feel a difference, and my mate who drove the car was impressed by the difference after the extractors, but yeah, i dunno :)
this is just a stepping stone for me until i have finished my plans, then i may not need it and choose the forced induction route, but yeah.
cheers
