if you're not boosted, 3 in. exhaust is too large. It will not apply enough back pressure. 2.5 is about as large as you want to go n/a and 2.25 would probably more suitable.

he is planning on turbo, i am pretty sure he has most of the parts, he was just getting the exhaust done and ready for boost.

NOT that tip! how big is it? im considering using a spare muffler i have but its 3" with a 4" tip and i thought it might be too big. but yours looks ok.
yeah im still gathering parts on that turbo build ...
its got a 2 1/2 flex pipe, 2 1/2 Flow Master, tip is a stack from a dump truck think it was like 5 inches & welded to the muffler .. ( it was so loud i got stopped alot )
just had a shop add a 2 1/2 resonator to tone it down ....
hope to have d16a6 out and turbo fully built d16z6 n very soon ....
but im uploading some busted axle pix now .... Scrappy was a great pup drove n the garage on its own puppy power ....

I'm planning the same keeping my a/c and power steering so 2.5" downpipe but i have a spare 3" from my s2k that i want to use. I will say 3" is perfectly fine on the 2.2 in the s though.
If thats a 5" i think a 4" will probably be perfectly fine. Shooting for a z6 as well.
What build is going into scrappy? vitaras or something forged?

How much back pressure do you need? After a properly tuned header, I do not see a need for more restriction. The exhaust is to get the gasses out from under the car and to quiet the sound.
Do you get better performance from a 2 1/2 exhaust the from a 3 inch?

im sorry markl.... i have no clue on any of it .... i was told 2 1/2 is smallest turbo i should go with since the 3inch manifold .....
ok guys this is poor Scrappy @ this moment.....
Passenger side
Driver side
ok so im gathering all kinds of bushings they said each one needs replaced ....
:idea:
so if anyone has a hook up on bushings let me know
ohh i picked up one of these...
was told it will help make it easier..
You're in the same position im in...bushing time!!!! i hope to get pretty much all the MAJOR ones i need and do them all at once....a bushing hook up would be nice haha. There are far too many bushings.
i feel your axle pain..jane shit one of me last year...
Let me know how the seal replacement goes....im not far behind you on those...and im not looking forward to them at all.
so sorry....bushing replacement! haha im tired i was up way to late and got up waaayyyyyy to early...
Erik@horsepowerfreaks.com or 503-256-5600 opt 3 and ask for erik....tell him you're the other guy from Hondacivicwagon.com who has a lifted wagon and is in need of the prothane bushing kit...i let him know you may be giving him a jingle.
can't believe he's still in the shop! hurry up and get him back on the road!
Man i wish mail man would bring the Amazon and Ebay packages would arrive 2day ....
im sure the mechanic would have Scrappy back down on all 4 white mini cooper paws this weekend ...
he already did the Blue gates racing water pump, timing belt, tentioner kit , new plugs and wires ....
ok so the roof rack basket is off to get powder coated ... no more rusted rack..... ordering the actuator for it also ...
hopefully this weekend "Full Suspension reinstall Party" all the parts will b installed and Scrappy will b back down on all 4 wheels next week .... then an alignment is next ... :idea:
