Outer Limits 4x4 Board

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.

what sorta price is 2 1/4 from extractors back?

I paid $700 for extractors, full 2 1/4 exhaust and fitting

$200 too $220 with sports muffler.

sports muffler? whats the difference? more free flowing or sumthing? or straight through?

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.

lmfao

thats better, who knows what happened there????
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. 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.

Dirty D

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 ??

i think it is 2 1/4 with a sports muffler and extractors..........
