Help picking exhaust

I like when NA people have 3" exhaust.... You better run Nitrous and some serious race cams at a minimum to necessitate exhaust that large on a NA 4 banger.
 
So does an exhaust cutout give you the same benefits if not more than spending 800 on a vibrant turbo back? You can get an electric cutout for 150. If cutout gives you same power increase why not go with that?

because the exhaust being wide open like that isn't exactly what most would call civil. while definitely loud, the vibrant is daily drivable. if you drove with the cutout open all the time I don't think you'd be able to hear a damn thing in 5 years.

Not to mention you would probably fail state inspection if the technician saw it.
 
I do Maryland state inspections myself...lol but ur right that would get really annoying. How about a custom exhaust... 2.5" OR 3"???? And what should I replace midpipe and everything after or something more? Also should I replace flanges or could I just start after flange?

2.5 is perfectly fine unless you are pushing a decent amount of boost. The best thing to do would be to get a custom Turbo Back Exhaust. Even if it's 2.5 the whole way instead of 3, you will still see very nice gains removing the stock system.
 
kk cool well my uncle does custom exhausts... I will be sure to post pics when I have it done. It will prob be another month or so before I have that done though. I need clutch, rear bumper lip, front tag mount, front motor mount, then ima do exhaust lol
