ChromoTech Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 What do u guys think about running 2 1/2 in. pipe strait off the cat out the back back pressure, sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Are you saying you just want to run the pipe only, or with a muffler? Straight piping sans muffler, it will be LOUD and raspy. 2.5" pipe is a good size for our engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChromoTech Posted April 16, 2004 Author Share Posted April 16, 2004 I think that it would improve my Backpressure alot but i dont think that it would sound that bad Im gonna have them straight pipe it to the back in the same position as the stock one was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_johnson Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 If by "improving backpressure" you mean reducing it, you would be right. However, without a muffler, I think that there would be too little backpressure and you would actually lose performance. For my engine, I know that the largest pipe you would want to run with a muffler is 2.5, any larger would have a negative effect. Without a muffler, I'd imagine that a smaller pipe would be required. But if you want it loud, straight pipes sans muffler would do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJim Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 Remember that engine breathing is a two way street. The K&N Cone filter intake or similer type is just has important as a good exhaust. Combined, they make a huge difference in over performance and sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Pickles Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 There are local shops (Bucky's in the S. Puget Sound area comes to mind) that will do a Flowmaster installed for under $100. Mine is 1 1/2 yrs old and awesome, good tone and punch with the K&N also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
