three inch all the way? theres no way i could loose torque...
i guess steve want me to get such big piping cuz he payed 900 dollars for a 2-3/4 inch piping...an im paying less than 300 for a "better flow" lol....thats messed up how even friends get jealous of stuff like that....
he was all saying that i couldn't afford to loose torque because of how little my car has as it is...

im 3" all the way. i have tried a few different exhaust. but the very best one was
3" pipe from the cat single outlet with a fart can on the end. if u get a good silencer (not the type that goes at the end of the exhaust.) it sounds like a tuned sports car... loud but no rasp, and all the flow u will ever need. just make sure the guys who make the pipes for u arent cheap cuz u could make ur exhaust look hella cheap.....

I found this guy with a shopping cart full of 6" piping made out of copper. He said $39 for enough tubing to make an exhaust.

you got ripped.

someone paid me $45 to take some piping he stole from the walls of a hospital. I'm going to make an underwater air snorkel for my rx-8 so i can drive it underwater.

he came from galaxy Premium to custom make my Exhaust 3.25 inch exhaust with ripples in the exhaust to calm the noise.. deepen the pitch of the exhaust.. and righ before it connects to the mufflers it enalrged into 3.50 inch exhaust..; but instead of ripples inside the exhaust its straight

Utilizing Utinian metal..
Super strong light metal.. a mixture of titaniam and daimond idk how they do it but its VERY gooooooood.

I tried a mercury exhaust.. I think the renesis was too hot because my exhaust ended up as a puddle on the ground... lost weight and gained some power though.
