[foxracing4500]

I finally got the car jacked up, I would have done it sooner but someone jacked my jacks . So here is the exhaust how can I tell if its 2.5 or 3"? btw I take it I don't have catalytic converters?

I cracked up when I saw that. It looks like a 3" downpipe, dumping into a 4" extension pipe that runs all the way back! That should do the job, and no, you don't have a converter.

I vote awesome.

 

[deviousgst]

cant really tell by the angle of the pictures on what size it is. kind looks like a 3inch after the dp. and no you dont have any cats

 

[foxracing4500]

sweet well I guess I can check the size again tomorrow but either way that is one less thing I can cross off my checklist Upgrade Path

 

[ConcowTSI]

thats pretty sick, wandering what turbo came with it? i also vote awesome!

 

[ed1380]

Looks a bit too small for a 3" downpipe. I'd say it's a 2.5" downpipe. AWESOME!! on the straightpipe.

 

[PerfectStorm]

I'd have to say three inch to three inch however, the angle makes it hard to see. Must be nice to live in Pennsylvania. CA CHP would be all over us with those straight pipes.

May I suggest that you loom those exposed wires from the o2 and take a few shop towels to all that oil and clean the under carriage up a little bit.

Reason I suggest the latter is because should something happen and you need to troubleshoot you'll have a better base of where to start if the area in question is dirty after cleaning it...

 

[zyro]

i say WIN nice. and agree with perfectstorm, its a lot easier to troubleshoot, i took mine to a friends lift and a rental pressure washer, cleaned up very nice.

 

[94allwheeldsm]

Thats definatly 3"...I vote awesome!!!

 

[TurboATM]

whats it look like comming out of the back?

 

[1990AWD]

It looks like a 3" but what's so difficult about grabbing a tape measure and finding out for yourself? People these days...

 

[clipto]

I would cut the heat wrap off the downpipe it only adds to a fire.

....um.... WTF

 

[phunny]

Get a measuring tape

 

[CamronG]

Looks damn good but i wanna hear it oh and i reallly hope your state doesnt care about emissions not cat can equal fail in Utah

 

[strokin4dr]

Look pretty decent. We dont have to worry about not having a cat here either!

 

[zcoh2gdsm]

if you want a hint on piping size, measure the diameter and divide by 3.14, that's if you dont take the exhaust off.

 

[sciondan]

Why would that be dumb? Loud maybe but the best performing and sounding imo. I vote awesome, just hope your local cops are cool. I'm thinking of running an electric exhaust cut out myself. Still runnin the original muffler and want the sleeper look.

 

[ToxicFlesh]

....um.... WTF

hahaha i thought the same thing!!

I think you mean measure the circumference and divide by 3.14.

 

[bastarddsm]

hahaha i thought the same thing!!

When it gets oil soaked under there and turns into a giant candle, you'll understand.

Do proper maintenance and there will be no oil soaking anywhere but inside the motor. Haha yeah right these cars are always leaking

 

[nicknorth11]

+1 for pics of back of car. More pics under the car would also be nice.

 

[Bud92gsx]

Mine is the same way, straight pipe no cat, and oval muffler.

I vote awsome!

. no, this state sucks (maybe that's just my opinion) we still have emissions tests. all you need is an o2 fouler and your good though. my township tried to pass a law about exhausts, if it hits over 94 decibels at 15ft away it's illegal... till the PAtuned forum protested outside of the police station and the law didn't pass.

I think you mean measure the circumference and divide by 3.14.

your right, haha, i meant to find the diameter.
