I have my thoughts now about modifying the DP when I get my custom exhaust work done. New 2.5" flex section to 2.5" pipe to 2.5" flange so it flows nicely. And someday when there is a turbo to be put on there all we have to modify is the flex section forward.

Definitely take some photos of it when its done, i'd like to see how our cars perform with 2.5" wide piping... Seems like majority of people stick with 2.25...

have you considered changing the clutch....
there is no reason having 'power' if you dont have a clutch that could handle the abuse (stock)

Its not the clutch its actually the throwout bearing that's defective and the car's going to the shop soon in order to get it repaired, and hopefully they'll replace the clutch with it, in which case I might pay the difference to have a performance clutch installed...

So what are the numbers for CB? Did you dyno it? I checked your site and didn't see anything. What kind of power gains and where in the rpms are they? Thanks.

I dont think they are going to dyno the catback. Im pretty sure but not positive that it has 1 or 2 more hp than the axelback. There is going to be a little more power at higher rpms than the axelback, and stock.

since we are on the discussion of exhaust systems, would getting the entire catback system greatly benefit over just getting the axleback? is there that much of a difference? and say in the future i wanna go turbo, which would u recommend?

i think if you get the header and downpipe you'd need the CB to get the most power out of it or else you're opening up the airflow just to run into backpressure.

Personally i got the CB because i do plan on getting the header that RRM is selling, so go figure.. But if you don't want to get the header or don't plan on it i think the axel back is worth the money..
