3.5" exhaust?
Here is mac_05evo's evo when it was basicly stock http://videos.streetfire.net/Player....652B&kw=4&p=13 .

I always thought the whole idea when designing a turbo exhaust system was to have as little back pressure as possible in order to increase the pressure differential between turbine inlet and outlet, thereby having the highest turbine velocity.
Just out of curiosity, did you read the article I linked? Since you seem to disagree with it, can you explain why? (I'm not trying to be a jerk here, I am genuinely curious)

Depending on what size turbo you plan on running, a 3.5inch is slight overkill for the application. Many people run 28psi with GT35Rs (LARGE turbos!) and 3" is fine.
Do not worry about backpressure. Turbo cars dont need any backpressure at all, in fact you want NONE possible. Remember that guy Corky Bell said ... "best exhaust for a turbo is NO exhaust!" ... something of that sort!

It basically explains all about ideal turbosystem exhaust design.
It also goes with the saying "the best turbo exhaust is no exhaust"
Send me some pics i wanna see it.
yeah, the best turbo exhaust is none because you dont want any backpressure whatsoever, so in this case, bigger is better. yeah 3 inch maybe ok, but then you max that out, you have to add wastegates on the exhaust. to me, whats the point of doing that? why not just do it right the first time and leave it? i have a 3.5" now, yes on stock turbo, but i will be ready for my GT series turbo that my friend has at his house. [that bad boy is huge, but i cant release any info now (for all the haters)
]. thats how i look at it.
just remember you dont want any backpressure after your turbo, and some turbo guys still dont understand this concept. N/A guys are a different story, but thats none of us here!

More than likely you absolutely do not need a 3.5" exhaust. We build them so I am not telling you this because it is something we don't sell. I am telling you this because the 3.5" is just over kill and extra weight. We do have the lightest 3.5" exhaust available.
My car ran 9.97 at 142.32 mph with our 3" exhaust on the car. My brothers car has trapped 144+ at full weight and made 647 whp to the wheels through our 3" exhaust. Etc., etc., Point is a 3" exhaust if designed properly like ours is going to flow enough for just about any application.
We install the 3.5" systems on cars we put GT42's on as the turbine housing outlet requires something that large.
Have a good day.
