What size exhaust?

I am think about getting a new exhaust for my VRX 4 Door. I am thinking about 4-1 mandrel bent stainless steel extractors 2.25' exhaust with a 4' tip. How much kw would I gain off that?

Cheers

I got 2.25", but just be carefull. Get it done at a reputable workshop, and specify HOW loud u want it and that u don't want it make that Gay sound Excels do. I jus have cat-back with 3" muffler (wit dual 3" tips) and it sounds great up 3000rpm, but then starts makin that noise. My mate with a GLXi has extractors, 2.25" and a turbosmart canon muffler, and his makes the sound as soon as he gets into it.

yeah the recommended is 2" - 2.25" so which ever you chose is up to you. To be honist the exhaust alone will not give a considerable power hike, if any. It will let the car rev more freely, therefore letting you use the potential. The extractors will help also. As sandman said, get it done somewhere where you know the quality.

Yer, I am sure on this workshop, still waiting on a price. How much do you pay for yours and how long did it take?
So would you think a 4' tip is to big or should i stick to a type of cannon exhaust?

Cheers

Hey Wesso,
Did Jake do up that GLXi himself or did a previous owner do it? Do you know, where he got all the work done on the GLXi?

Cheers
