Should I get 2.5 piping?

[dichiee]

I'm going to get Equinox old Racing Beath MP3 exaust and wondering if I should get custom 2.5 piping.

i thought 2.25 was better for N/a. backpressure or something of that nature. 2.5 if youve got turbo.

i believe the racing beat CB is 2.25.

so don't do it?

you will loose low end power with 2.50 piping.-to big for na
2.25 is the size to go for na motor, i belive that the mp5 already has the 2.25 piping. imo axle back is the best way to go, with a full cat back you would not gain any more than the axle back. unless you removed something. peace out

umm if you are getting mandrel bent pipeing, go with 2.25 if you are going regular crap bending then go 2.5 or even 2.75 becuase the bends are so friggin tight

guys....just to confirm....what size piping does the P5 have?

2 1/8"

go with 2.25, i have that and i love it. and plus with the displacement of our motors, anything bigger you would drastically start to loose backpressure.

sad but true. I have 2.5 and i wish i would have had 2.25 instead. I lost low end tourqe "feel" but the mid range feels good. I do want to go turbo in the near future. I just need to sell more drugs, Just kiddin, i need to wash more cars
