is 2.5'' good for a 4cyl bp 1.8?

Ok, we are way off topic here..



BP should proly go 2.25". Do a search

200 bones is to much for altezzas. You should keep that color if you are painting the car or go a gunmetal color

i didn't even notice that, check ebay you'll get them for like 50 bucks brand new

Are they the Carbon Fiber Ones?

What. I was talking about your car color.

You can get 4 different types of altezzas on eBay..

Chrome (lame)
Black
Fake CF
Smoked

yahh i just checked ebay, i hate clear/chrome tail lights on any car as is lol so its between the black and the CF ones.

Also i got ahold of the guy thats gonna paint my car today hes gonna come see me tomorrow for an estimate.

Gunmetal - titanium color with black tails. That is a good combo

Actually I'm doing either a greyish blue or a midnight blue with gunmetal grey or silver rims and I'm going to make the interior match with the outside

I'd like to argue with you about this but I'm too lazy right now to dig up any facts to back up my statement so you win. This time.

My $.02 on the exhaust:
2.5 kills the low end, but you gain a little on the high end.
I like my low end, because I drive every day, and that's what my car is for; fun every day. So I have 2.25.
If you want to shave .05 second off your 1/4 mile, get 2.5.
I highly recommend the FlowMaster Hushpower muffler, since you've got the $$. Check my worklog for the serious exhaust. I don't have my headers on yet, though. I have to be careful, to not spin the tires all the time.

I'm looking forward to your worklog!

Yea, 2.25 is just fine. worked for me in both engines, not so... much in the K8 though.
I also got mine custom done at an exhaust shop right near by me for $400 mandrel bent and everything.
IMO custom exhaust = worth it

I`ve also seen altezza`s go for around 80 bucks on ebay. dont pay 200....

lol i like how you say i have the money actually im just scrapping by with enough for this car so little by little i will work on it im buying the exhaust next Friday and just gonna store the body kit, rims, and lights till the snow is over then painting it i don't want anything to happen to it during the winter idk i might get anxious and put them on right away paint and rims and the works lol.

Yeah, I just figured, if you're going to drop the $$ on a Monza, you could easily afford the $150 FlowMaster.
Just be sure to do it right the first time. It's tempting to think "I'll just do it this way for now", and get stuck with something.

now for the flowmaster is that just for the exhaust tip or the full exhaust? im gonna buy my exhaust next friday and im in need of some counciling haha. (or however you spell it my spell check wont even fix that one lol)

Flow master is a muffler. you will still need to get a tip or muffler for the end of some sort.
