still need exhaust help

[Turbo98]

I am looking to get exhaust. I dont have much money right now and i was looking at 2.5 catback. People have been telling me to wait and get 3 inch turbo back. What are the ups and downs to the 2.5 catback-or-turbo back and 3 inch catback-or-tubo back with my mods? and what kind can i get to sound like a weed-whacker.....i know i know it's too ricey but i like it

Thanks for the help

You can't sound like a weed-whacker; you have a turbo.

3 inch exhaust is somewhat overdoing it for your current state of tune; unless you're heading for crazy power, stick with the 2.5 and spend your spare change on neon.

what are your plans, Make so later you won't have to switch to a 3".

I want to do exhaust, suspension, a bigger turbo eventually...probably not until after this one starts going bad or i come up with money. Then i really dont know. I have plans but everything is gonna take a while because I have too many bills to pay. Any comments will help..thanx

If it's anything you want it's anything you get...

Since you are after a somewhat "weed whacker" sort of sound < and I'm not knocking that > I would suggest going with a custom built exhaust system. Go down to your local motorsport store and pick your favorite fart can (muffler). Then, take it to a local exhaust shop and have them fab a 2.5" or 3" exhaust with the muffler on the end.

Based on the quality of some of those muffler you may achieve the sound you are after with the pipe diameter you want/need for turbo applications .. at a reasonable price.

I know! I know! Mount the weedwacker motor in the trunk and have it drive a generator to power the neon! Two birds. One stone.

A drawback to consider of getting a 3" exhaust is you will more than likely have a bit of boost creep, especially if you do a turbo-back... I'd still go with the 3" though so you don't limit yourself in the future... just something to think about.

Any chambered muffler will give you the rice boy idiot sound you desire get a 2/3 chamber flow master muffler and have them weld one of those back cut 3" stainless tips on it. like you seen sticking out the back of those old ford p/u trucks
