It isnt really the ultimate power either as a larger exhaust will let the turbo spool quicker as well
guess it depends on how big the turbo. I dont really know but I would say for much over 200BHP a bigger exhaust would be needed. Exactly what your max would be on 2.5" though I will have to leave to others.

(10-10-2013, 02:08 PM)Palmer I dont really know to be honest thats for the future to decide i just wanna get the 2.5'' then it cant take the beans later on down the line. At what point do you need tobe looking at a 3'' power wise? Or is it turbo dependant
2.5 will support 400hp worth of air flow with little to no performance issues according Corky Bell. 3 inch is best bet for a diesel however due to the increase exhaust volume and density.

I'm sure someone will disagree about high rpm back pressure.... I default to 3" but that's just me. Cost isn't that different.

10-23-2013, 09:26 PM #7Just go and get 3" and dump it behind the passenger front tire :-)....no but really, why not just throw the 3" on so you don't have to worry about restriction being a factor?

Technically 2.5" should be fine.

larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?

The guy was explaining to me that if you bend a 3'' (mandrel or some crap) it reduces the size at it stretches. Also he wasn't prepared to do a 3'' as it may need to be bodged with the equipment he has. A 3'' system is about £300 more as well.
I think 2.75'' will be fine. I have a 3'' exit that bodged on due to a broken hangar and its mahusive.
Im looking at a lot of money for a 3''.

If the law man comes a knockin', remind them that a turbocharger is technically a muffler.

english red rat rod 1977 240D, OM617.952 burning B99.9, iron 4-speed & 2.88 diff, 195/60/R14 on alloys, 5mph bumpers, battery in the trunk, 25mm swaybar, 4x ECE H4 lamps, double brake lamps, deleted sunroof, export zoll & california blue plates
it seems to me that if diameter would be getting reduced at the bends then he would NOT be using a mandrel. isn't consistent cross sectional area the whole point?

How did you get on with the funny u bend part that goes around the steering column?
And that two part exhaust clamp.... You know the one!

(11-01-2013, 10:09 AM)Palmer They have some bad reviews on the net but then again so will anyone. Proper job though, well it should be for 720! :O
It sounds like a lot of money, but we blew $275 putting a 2.5" exhaust on my truck using the cheapest generic parts on it and did all the welding/cutting ourselves. Fitment took forever (because I'm a perfectionist)
So 720 for a professional shop to do it isn't really that bad, especially in the UK
