exhaust or not to exhaust, that is the question

i have a non-turbo and fitting a new exhaust system will have little/no effect on my cars power correct? so does that mean i should just go for the 2.5" end bit to make it sound good? or is it worth paying for the full exhaust thingo

Depends on how much you want to spend dude! a 2 1/2 cat back should help with power, i dunno how much, but yeah if you just want noise than that is the best. I put extractors on first, then the cat, then i did the 2 1/2 last, but thats just me! A full exhaust system should give you a fair whack of power, but its pretty expensive- extractors, a high flow catalyctic converter, 2 1/2 pipes a good muffler. plus a resonator if you want to but that again costs more and you don't really need it. That could cost $1000 straight up. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Just did my exhaust today.... if you can call it that Took out the two silencers but left the resonator in it, and fitted a superturbo muffler. Still running 2inch pipe, no extractors, and the exhaust is dodgy as (doing everything properly with 2.5inch pipe when I get extractors on there) Decent increase.... seems to rev a ****load better too Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
