cool when do you hit full boost with the 2.25?

 

Pretty nice set-up, would be interested in hearing a clip if anyone has one.

 

Well this system seems pretty good to me, even though i know it may be big for my 2.2 but it seems to be the most reasonably priced cat-back. Plus it is easy enough to put in a glasspack for a resonator to quiet things down.

 

i just ordered mine also,
2.5'' for my SS 2.4, and I also ordered a Vibrant resonator to put on it.

If you look, the piping is the exact same as the GMPP, except that you have to fit in your own resonator.

 

i ordered that exhaust last wednesday october 1 and it came yesterday monday october 6. and i put it on as soon as it came in. it sounds like the SLP exhaust but it just has a deeper tone. i like it. and its not too loud. so it sounds good tho... i like it... i kept it without a resonator... you really don't need it. the magnaflow muffler muffles it but doesnt muffle to much... it sounds good

 

i would get a resonator only if you have a header and downpipe.. i put my stock header and dp on and it almost sounds stock again

 

And its a different size
And it doesnt have hangers
And its not stainless.

But otherwise, yeah its exactly the same.

 

its a full bolt on with hangers and its 2.5"

 

Yeah, but its still not stainless, and its not the same size as the GMPP one is all i was saying. And if you buy just the "pipes" as was mentioned in the post i quoted, there are no attached hangers, you have to weld.

I am NOT bashing this system at all. I am simply trying to keep the misinformation to a minimum

 

ok

 

isn't GMPP 2.5'' also with a 2.25'' necking near the muffler??
this one is 2.5'' straight through


and I'm changing car in 3 years so stainless isn't an issue for me.

 

on the website it says...

Although we do supply hangers and flanges with this system, welding is highly recommended. Have your local muffler shop assist you when installing this product.

this is on the 2.5 pipes only no muffler... so what was that you were saying about it not having hangers? so does anyone know if it does have hangers or not website says it does... i'd like to buy just the piping and then weld on my own muffler cuase i don't know what i want yet, as far as the muffler goes.

also never heard that 2.25 was better than 2.5 for a 2.2 i've always heard 2.5 unless F/I

 

i have a 2.5" exhaust, the thing with them is they are all O.D. so its really 2.25", i know i measure it...so technically that 2.5 is really 2.25" so it should be fine, also a resonator is no big deal go get the longest one u can fit, i have a 3ft res on my car

 

i have the exhaust on my car that you are lookign to get. the mandrel exhaust systems 2.5'' with the magnaflow muffle. just get it. you will like it. keep it the way it is. if you put a resonator on it you won't like it. it comes without the resonator because the magnaflow muffler muffles it enough. trust me. it is a good exhaust. i havent ripped on it yet, but as soon as i do ill let you know the difference

 

what? my 2.5 is 2.5 on the inside of the pipe not outside.. your really telling me that the sidewall of the piping is going to be .125" of an inch lol please

normal piping sidwall runs about .06" if what your saying is true i doubt you could put bends in it

 

yea if the OD is 2.5 it wont be 2.25 ID....exhaust piping is nowhere near that size lol....hey Cool so when does your turbo hit full spool?

 

soundclip?? let's hear it

It would help since I also purchased a resonator which I plan on getting welded on before installing the catback....
so if I can hear yours and confirm that I like it I'll sell the resonator

 

GMPP is 2.25"

I was saying this:It has hangers, but the system isnt ready to bolt on, it requires welding/fabrication.

Which exhaust is "better" for your car depends on your mods, your tune, and where you are trying to make the bulk of your power. One size isnt "better" than the other.

 

Ok maybe, but the SC downpipe has a 2.75’’ outer diameter and a 2.5’’ inner diameter
But I guess a downpipe is thicker (makes sense)


bump for a soundclip

 

idk mine wasnt like that... did you mesure it on a non bent part of the pipe?

 

yeah, the middle section is 2.75 OD, measured it with a vernier

 

nice... i still dont think that the thickness would change tho the ID prolly gets bigger as well.. mine drops down a lil at the flange anyways

maybe its that canadian way of mesuring thats the problem eh haha jk

 

ure jealous I guess

but ure right it drops down to 2.25'' inner at the catback flange

 

i'm gonna order this exhaust either this week or next week.

 

I can try and a get a sound clip with my phone when it comes. I ordered Sunday.
