hey i have recently herd that my 2 1/2 inch exhaust idea is to big am i wrong or what?what are you guys runnin?

yes 2 1/2 is way too big.  if you steped it to 2 1/2 then you might be ok.  start with 2 in the work your way oup to 2 1/2

Stu

Cat and muffler are both 2 1/2inch and i jus received the calmini header  all ineed is pipe!

you can use all the 2 1/2 in stuff but if you use some 2in or mabey somthing a lil bigger you will but some torque in the engine

SOUNDS GOOD BUT SHE'S GOT TO MUCH TIME ON HER HANDS TO SLIDE ANY THING BY HER...GUESS I'LL HAVE TO BE XTRA SWEET TO HER   AND TELL HER I NEED JUST A COUPLE G'S TO ADD SOME MORE STUFF TO THE TOY THAT SHE ALLREADY CALLS OBSESSIVE BEHAVIOR...       MATTY D.....

OK, I'll be praying for you, sounds like
your going to need all the help you can
get to get fundage for OBSESSIVE BEHAVIOR

 

They do have a pill for that....

There is such a thing as too little back pressure.

IMHO, 2.5" exhaust tubing is far too big for a 1.6 liter engine. The Calmini complete exhaust kit, with or without the header, is made from 2" tubing. I had this arrangement (with header) on my late '94, and it worked VERY well - good performance without being loud enough to wake the dead or leave me deaf after a highway trip. In fact, it performed better, and was no more noisy, than the stock 1.75" exhaust pipe with a glasspack muffler.

Don, y'all
.

the whole theory about needing back pressure for torque has been proven wrong so many times

true 2.25 is over kill on a 1.6 but what ever thats what iam runnin and so far iam just lovin it oooh did i mention iam getting better fuel economy now (damn cats)

any way man your truck sounds like its gonna be awesome i just bought the stuff to make a catch can for my truck today and tomorrow iam gonna install it all i also am looking into bypassing the egr too (theres supposed to be a sensor you have to disconnect when you bypass egr and iam not shure ive never done it before) but the catch can is a go tomorrow yaaaay no more oil being sucked through my pcv valve into my engine
