does my mechanic know what he is talking about?

[bungsai]

Yes he can get similar benefits to an exxy JDM zorst, but not by using a 2". And this is coming from a JDM brand whore.

I agree. He can get just as good results in terms of power if he uses 2.5 or 3" piping, mandrel bends and a quality muffler.

ic. well even if i dont get the TODA catback, he will make his own custom piping. so assuming he knows what he is doing, he could still get a similar benefit to an JDM brand's catback?

agreed.

At the end of the day you are looking at at least $300 for the b pipe pending what kind of mid muffler you go for. another $2-300 for a decent muffler. Imho pay the $900 for a JDM exhaust which already has good fitment and MOST are well built even if it is in taiwan.

Youll be able to flog it off in a few years as opposed to your custom job which no one will want since we are all JDM whores.

I see. Well thanks for that fellas...ive heard good reports of this guy, recommended to him by a good friend.

Ill go inquire about a 2.5" system today and get back to you guys

3 inch FTW for K series.
That applied to K20A2 / JDM K20A / K24a3 ( euro motor )
There are some back to back testing(2.5 inch vs 3 inch) on k20a.org a while ago about it.

[TODA AU]

FWIW the TODA exhaust is 60mm ID or 2.36" ID
2" OD pipe is too small - period...
If you're on a budget, get 2.5" OD mandrel bent system.
This will perform in a similar fashion to most JDM systems if made well.
Be sure to have good muflers included so it's not loud or droney.

Re 3" OD cat back systems
You can see a small gain in peak power using this size on a K-series.
However it's not so easy to make it quite.

go the 3" man, im running one atm. i had the fuji power getter before, but decided to sell it and go the 3"....feels like it gained throughout the revrange...was loud at the beggining but now im used to it

[Limbo]

my 1.6 ltr had a 2 1/4".

On a K series you need a less restrictive exhuast.

Go 2.5" for a decent improvement & not too loud
Go 3" for a hardcore system

[EGBenny]

Most of the guys on k20.org said 3inch gave them more power and was more quiet than 2.5inch, win win.

3' all the way!!!
