[HC_LXi]

people im plannig doing my next mod,the complete exhaust and im wondering wich diameter to use 2 or 2.25? here are my mod list:
Head Shaved to .050 and worked,integra b18 intake manifold with 2nd gen b16a throttle (60mm),B18 integra AEM CAI,Arospeed FPR.which diameter you guys think that is the best for my mods?

2.25. Because isn't it 2.5 or 3 that is for turbos?

[HC_LXi]

yep thats what i thought. thanks

I think you could get away with 2.5 though. It depends. I would just go with 2.25 to be safe.

2.5 would be the highest you'd want to go. people are pretty much split between 2.5 and 2.25 for NA motors.

i'd say for your current setup to go 2.25. you'd be fine with 2.5, but i think with that you'd notice a loss in low end power, but maybe a slight increase in top. all around, 2.25 will prolly do you best. although i would say if you plan to increase your compression at all in the near future(before you'd feel like spending money on a new exhaust), go 2.5.

Hey thank u guys :rockon: . i think that i go with 2.25 for now.

i'm going with 2.5, but i'm also most likely gonna end up with a custom header...

[maka_RTH]

i'm gonna be going 2.5 as well.., but then again i'm gonna have high compression pistons with port and polished head, b16 intake, and a bunch of other goodies ;)

2.5" with a header and cat. Don't worry about loosing lowend power, its very hard to do with these engines.
