Exhaust upgrade
Im plannig to get the following for my dual ehaust set up:<P>Headers (Made by a well known race car builder)<BR>2.5 or 2" pipping (Let me know what you think)<BR>2 Twin 92mmx78mm Remus mufflers<BR>(I love how those things sound!)<P>This will run me about 1000dlls ( each Remus is 360)<BR>What do you think? Anything i should consider??<P> Thanks<BR>

Remember when you increase diameter you increase turbulence and reduce pressure.

Re: Exhaust upgrade
2" on a ZE? umm, no, i dont think so.<P>We've been over this many times before. Please do a search.<P>And no, going to larger pipes does not give you more turbulence if its properly sized.

Re: Exhaust upgrade
2in with k8<BR>2.25-2.5 with ze<BR>thats a lot of cash for exhaust.<BR>headers dont give you a good hp for the dollar and 2 mufflers arent necessary.<BR>save yourself the extra $500 or so towards your swap<BR>my opinion <BR>Dan

Re: Exhaust upgrade
By increasing the pipe size you do not increase turbulence, and decreasing pressure is a good thing. Going with a bigger pipe can decrease exhaust velocity, that is a bad thing. the best size exhaust pipe is one that is big enough to give you 0 back pressure, but small enough to get as much exhaust velocity as possible.

He is going to split it. I agree if it's a single exhaust system then yes 2.25" or 2.5" would be good, but since he's going to take it and split it into 2 pipes, anything over 2" will be too large. If you go to two 2.25" pipe that's like putting the same ammount of air thru a 3.5" pipe. Too big. If you go to 2" then it's about the same as a 2.5" pipe. If my math/information is still incorect I am sorry. This is what I have been told, my source must have told me wrong.

Re: Exhaust upgrade
simple math says that you are correct. if its 2 seperate pipes straight from the engine. Two 2" pipes will allow as much flow as a single 3".

Re: Exhaust upgrade
Thanks for the help guys.<BR>I choose to go with those mufflers cause they sound sweet. Shure they are expensive but so are many great things in life (except the homemade intake! )<BR>If not, why did most of you payed 2000-4000US<BR>for a 92-95 car when you could get a 96-98 Honda Civic for the same amount?<BR>Because we like the good stuff!
