yes you should go for 2 1/2", cannon doesn't sound like a farting noise unless you put a silencer and ... you know what i mean ... i've change my exhaust 3 times already and what i think is it really depends on what you want to get out of it ... performance, sound, looks ...
The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problem.

Well looks it matters but it doesnt anything is better than a twin tip 8O

performance it matters but you can only get so much from an exhaust.. but yeh your right about the silencer.. i guess ill be going a cannon!

I think twin tip mufflers, not just the "tip" part as such can look classy and sleek. better than the cannons you see EVERYWHERE, and looks more "Stocko" when its parked.

From what i learnt is you can spend shitloads on a FTO but at the end of the day u will still want more power....

Depending you your current mods u will get around 10ATWKW for a cat back system.

If i can just say - from just a exhaust only your getting pretty much no power at all, but from a full exhaust system yes, u will get a considerable amount but this would include getting extractors + downpipes and a catback, which all together will cost u about $1400. just a exhaust will give you nothing but sound when u drive, no power so if your after performance, go for the whole thing! also get a bigger intake pipe and a pod filter to maximise the benefits of your new system

ahh.. well then your on the right track and the amount of power for the amount of money spent on the extractors etc is the most (I'm gonna quote Ben here) "Bang for your buck", nothin else will give u that much for that price 8)

and if its stock, then thats even better! u get to have the fun doing it up from scratch :wink:
