I was thinking about getting the GMPP touring exhaust because it is cheaper than the Corsa. I had a Corsa on my old 2.4 SS and I loved it. My main concern now is the diameter. Would it really hurt me that much to slap on the 2.25" GMPP vs the Corsas 2.5"?

 

Depends really on your performance upgrades for the future.
The GMPP was tested and build on GMPP parts (including tested with GMS2 as far as my research goes anyway)

If you ever intend on putting out more power, be with either things like engine builds or ever a smaller pully, you should really look at putting on a 2.5
As you start adding in more performance, you may get to a point where you need to be at least 2.5, or even 3" (if you ever get that much power, of course)

 

Thats what I thought. I was leaning more towards the Touring models of either one because I dont like interior resonance or extremely loud exhausts. Looks like I'll have to shell out the extra $100 and get the corsa! Thanks dude.

 

Stock Boost = 2.5" Exhaust
S2+ = 3" Exhaust

 

If you go as high as 3 inches you might want to consider your low end tourque. But who needs that in a fwd car eh?

 

Ah shitballs! I hate the sound of a 3" exhaust. Oh well i'll have to suffer with the 2hp loss.

 

Since you already have the vibrant header just complete the package with their exhaust.

P.s.-Do you think with all that will your car fail a noise inspection or a ticket for road noise?

 

you should just use the corsa you already have, for now. and get other mods instead.

 

lol, you need to learn to keep your opinion out of posts asking for facts.

key part here is that he had a Corsa on his old 2.4

 

Why are you going to give him shitty info and to go with 2.25" pipe?

 

I would also suggest reading the rest of this. its stickied. "most common misconceptions....."

 

I have a good question. Would the vibrant 3inch exhaust move the powerband out of the 6500-7000 redline range?

 

A very good write up by Adam! Which brings me back to why I didn't wan to go with a 3" cat-back. I like having power/torque in the lower end. I don't drive a damn Honda. I like having my peak torque at 4500 not 9,094,500,596,003,923,000 rpms. But that leaves me with the question do I want to the the GMPP and get a little more torque in the mid range and lose out a little in the top end and go with a 2.5 sytem and only gain in the top end.... Damn. Choices choices...

More than likely. Wait do you mean higher or lower? With just the cat back and a stock header anc cat I would doubt it would move it past the redline.

Because I dont have it anymore and it wouldnt fit anyway.

Cars wont fail an inspection for being too loud. Cops can give you tickets though. You can fail for having no catalytic coverter or a hollowed out one. I can technically fail an inspection because the high flow cat I have with the vibrant header is throwing a P0420 code. Catalyst efficiency below threshold. But I'll have that all cleared up when I get it dyno tuned after my stage 2 install. Cars with high flow cats can pass inspection as long as there are no CEL's.

 

i would personally go with the gmpp. its much more realistic, i mean when your driving around town how often do you redline your car?? but if its strictly for the strip then go with the 3"

 

Ok, now I have a question. I have the Megan Racing exhaust right now, which is a 2.5", but it is a little too loud for my taste. I love the way the GMPP exhaust sounds, and I love the way the Borla sounds, but they are both 2.25". I plan on getting a 2.8 and supporting mods, and that would basically be the extent of my major modifications. It is doubtful that my car will ever see 300whp (unless I win the lottery), so do you think it would be a noticable difference with the 270-280whp that I might one day have? I am looking for opinions here, I would sacrifice 3-5hp for the sound I like.

 

I'm talking about a 3 inch exhaust would move it out of the powerband. hmmm anybody with it maybe can chime in.

 

more than I should

If i were you i'd get the corsa touring. Its 2.5" and it sounds awesome without being too loud. My buddy Edubs has cams in his Balt and has almost 290 WHP. And all he has is a header, intake and a stock catback.

I was told that Megan racing is actually a cheap eGay knock off of Mugen racing.

 

Nice. Someone used what I said in the write up

Also, the write up about intake and exhaust resonating goes into deeper details on exhaust systems and how they play a role in with everything.

If you want my opinion, there is no need to go larger than 2.5"

 

Most likely when I get my exhaust I'll go with the 2.5", just because NJHK said so. And also because I'm afraid of his buttsecks.

 

I can be gentle...

 

Your black. There is no such thing as gentle.

 

Gentle = No bleeding

lol

 

I actually just LOL'ed.

On a gentle note, I'm not racist. I have a colored tv.

 

lol

That actually made me lawl too
