exhaust system prices
-
I went to sls today and they said they could not do 2.25 inch piping for my car, only 2.5 inch. I really want my car to have a mandrel bent system, but on cavalier forums everyone says that 2.5 inch piping is too big unless your going with forced induction, and i dont have plans for forced induction any time soon nor do i have the money.

Well the people at cavalier forums must be retards...

You still have a cat, the backpressure is still there... 2.5inch vs. 2.25...
I highly highly doubt your going to loose any power from having larger exhaust, more likely it will just be more high flowing.
Here's the thing though, your not talking about freeing up much hp either way from bolting on exhaust... so whatever you do you prob wont notice a huge difference. If your looking to do it cheap, just visit somebody like muffler man and have them press bend them as it prob wont even make a huge difference anyway

I'm running 2.5 inch on a 1.6 liter engine. I certainly didn't loose any power by doing so. If you cant afford it right now, then hold off on doing it untill you can. I know how it is to want to get it done especially with the parts right in front of you, but I also firmly believe in doing it right the FIRST time. Don't mess aroud with pressbent pipe. Alot of times, the actual pipe diameter is down too well under 2" inside diameter when the bends are made and your exhaust only flows as well as the smallest piece will allow.

So let me get this right, You need some major shit done to your car now to have exhaust done for it to be justifiable? Oh shit then Tufte I need to turbo my car NOW!!!!!
