Exhaust Diameter

Hey would a 1 5/8" primary with 2.5" collectors to a 2.5" y pipe support 300rwhp or should I be looking for 2.5" collectors to a 3" y pipe?

Re: Exhaust Diameter

Depends if you are planing on running cats. I would say go for the 3" Y..

Re: Exhaust Diameter

No cats. I guess I'll have the exhaust shop chop it at the y and do a 3" at the single.
