I plan on turbocharging my car in the near future, and I know as far that back pressure in a turbocharged exhaust setup is bad, as different from back pressure in a N/A setup i.e. scavanging. My question being, the pacestter catback exhaust the only one they make for a A series, is the muffeler chambered or is it a straight through design? And does anyone use this exhaust on there car, and do you like it?
I have one. The muffler that comes with it is chambered, restrictive, and loud. Pipe is good, but definitely too small for turbo. It's the only performance exhaust being made for the A series.
If you are gonna turbo you will want a MIN of 2.5inch piping, and not the crushed bent stuff either. Best size would be a 2.75-3inch exhaust depending on how big your turbo is.

It's really not that hard to build your own cat-back exhaust. I did it with my dad in a weekend, but if I were to do it again I could probably do it in a day since we know what we're doing this time around.
If I made my own exhaust (I am a welding major at pct lol) which would be a good non restrictive muffler to use, other than a rice can?
magnflow has one flowmaster the name brand ones lolQuote:

rice can ftw!!!
:slap:
I've got a magnaflow muffler on mine, and it sounds really nice. Not raspy at all.Quote:
