And no I dont want to go with the 3in turbo-back so dont even say it. Thanks


Please replay with any comments of why you picked that one, I dont take offense to anything said.

Better to go turbo-back with a solid size instead of switching diameters halfway down your exhaust.

Go with the 3 inch O2 eliminator VRS, it gives you room to expand. 3" will definately help with spool if you decide to go with a bigger turbo.

What's your reason for not getting a turbo back?

What's your reason for not getting a turbo back?

turbo-back is one of the choices, it would just be 2.5in not 3in. But to awsner your question, the choice of exhaust. VRS is the only turbo-back exhaust that I have found for the GST. I would like to see GReddy make a turbo-back Ti-C. If that makes sense . I can not delete the cat due to emissions. So what setup can I do with the GReddy exhaust to make it turbo-back and keep the cat?

what is a "solid size" then 2.5 or 3in? I know that 3in performes better, but which one is more "solid"? And you are right I do not want to switch sizes half way down. Is there a 3in downpipe that does not delete the cat? Due to emissions for the state.

Thanks for your comments

I think he ment to just stick with one size all the way threw instead of changing the diamiter throught the exhaust.

Why would the turbo-back be a 2.5" instead of a 3"? If you go with a 3" unit, that's one less thing you would have to upgrade if, later on down the line, you want to make more power on a bigger turbo.

Ok I see what he is saying thanks

You are right, I definity would like to get the 3in, but I just cant afford $800+tax+shipping for and exhaust right now. Is there a 3in downpipe that does NOT delete the cat (due to emissions for the state)?

Talk to your local exhaust shop. Some of them can put together a nice exhaust out of mandrel bent stainless steel for a good price. Then you can get you choice of muffler and a 3" cat and be set.

The exhaust on my car is a custom 3" stainless steel turbo back with a high-flow cat. It's slip fit, so no rusty bolts to try getting apart (stainless steel clamps). I bought it used from a member on here for $250. It has a nice deep sound and flows great. Deep, meaty tone when you get on the gas, but quiet while cruising down the highway.

I was just saying that you want to keep it all a single tube size and it's better to just spend the money once. Like someone above said check out a local shop. They can and will work for you. It's your money and that means their life, you know what I mean. Just meant to say that if you get one you might as well get the 3in turbo-back with cat by getting a custom exhaust. Often times you can watch them do it and know they are doing it right all while knowing you got EXACTLY what you wanted for a decent price. Sorry for not really explaining my first post.

I would go 3" Thermal R&D, 3" down pipe w/ high flow cat....RRE has the down pipe w/ cat

Eclipse Exhaust System Upgrades

+1 for Thermal, they sound great! I have a full 3'' on my car with a downpipe.

Can the down pipe and cat from RRE fit with the GReddy exhaust?

Can you make a sound clip of your car at idle and doing a driveby please?
Can you also post some pics?

Dam i love that Thermal. Anyone knows where a can get a turbo back thermal? the whole exhast.

Damn, i'm just trying to figure out why an Apexi N1 Turbo back exhaust isn't on the poll???

This youtube vid right here of the Apexi N1 exhaust should explain for itself:

YouTube - 1999 mitsubishi eclipse gsx

Anybody else agree that exhaust sounds like DSM heaven?

 

[All_Boost16G]

I Have a PIT Catback, its made by Dee-Zee, and its amazing, fit is awsome, and was 150 on ebay. Bolted right to the Cat, before I had a downpipe. But looks and sounds amazing.

 

[Imback]

I would look around to see if you can find an old rsr system

Good point my friend? Why havn't you considered N1? I have it on my car and it sound great... It great price too. That white Clipse sounds good, especially when it backfires,..It was just a hickup anyways..

 

[Falcon55]

^Hell yeah, i'm definitely buying that exhaust when my car gets up and running again! I saw the prices too, great quality exhaust for a decent price! I can't get tired of that youtube video either, that exhaust is just crazy. That is the best sounding exhaust I ever heard out of any 4 cylinder car in my opinion and I think many people can back that up!

That would instantly destroy any ricer fart can/lawnmower exhaust in it's path!

 

[duwackerTSi69]

^Ive owned 2 2g dsm's and 1g and my current dsm is the only one I have ever had catback exhaust and it sounds pretty damn good..I cant wait till I finally put my Megan DP on and see how that sounds? Probably sounds even better since it deletes the cats? When I get my tranny put back together and my 20g on(when I get it soon) ill get it all together and post some sound clips for all of ya's..I wanna try out this o2 housing with the open dump tube also??

 

[Deschamps]

For the poll i'd go with the greddy for the 3'' cat-back incase of a bigger turbo set-up, but like everyone the N1 cat-back would be a good choice.
