exhaust size for tb42?

Post by **marin** » Sun Aug 01, 2004 3:06 pm

wondering about the difference between a 2 1/4 exhaust system compared to a 2 1/2 exhaust on a tb42 (with extractors)? i have heard that if you go to a 2 1/2 that you lose a bit of torque? Any benefits/need for the 2 1/2?

Was told the same thing.@ and a quater sounds pretty good and is bigger than original.

I've got Genie extractors and a 2 1/4 exhaust. I was told by the exhaust guys, Ringwood Performance Exhausts, 2 1/4 was optimum for the TB42.

Mild steel extractors will set you back around $435-490 mark, pipe size either 2 1/4 or 2 1/2.

Personally I'd go the 2 1/2 pipe with a matched muffler. Sports mufflers come in many sizes most common is 2-3 inch.

Prices will vary from dealer to dealer whole lot should be around $6-700 for a 2 1/2 inch.

Speak to a mechanic first at a performance shop. Don't take the word of the sales guy selling you the stuff who gets his info from a brochure.

Well this style muffler is good as it offer's muffling of noise but allows free flowing

Well looks like you guys like being touched/bent over.....I paid $80 for full system in 2 1/4" that included fitting the extractors I bought for $220 inc a muffler the straws are Twisters and don't forget I have a 120ltr jew juice tank under the back so the system inc. heat shields, etc....just shop around no point throwing your money away when you can piss it against a wall in da pub. :twisted:

I admit that is some serious shopping and was 6 months ago but steel doesn't go up hundreds I had this problem at the turbo shop already where the price jumped $300 in a year the words get F**Ked help and then the price was reduced but cash ALWAYS is another word for LUBE.

So what was the consesus ? 2 1/4 or 2 1/2? or perhaps a bit of both ? 2 1/2 from the manifold , coming down to 2 1/4 halfway through ??
