A before and after backpressure test would be more suitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOONIN Donating Members 678 Member For: 14y 11m 26d Gender: Male Location: CHCH NZ Posted 01/08/10 05:26 AM Share Posted 01/08/10 05:26 AM I have a stock engine BA xr6t auto and am looking at doing big mods to the engine in 1-2years after mech warranty is up. I was shown the other day at work an xr6t muffler, far out its bloody HUGE and heavy. The mods I wanted to do to my engine vary and my choice of exhaust for it would have been a 3.5inch due to some advice on 3inch being crap for around 350kw. But I have a chance to buy a cheap new 3inch exhaust (dumpy back) with racing CAT or I can just get better free flowing lighter mufflers to attach to the exisiting pipes. Would either of these provide any benefit? If so would a tune be needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOONIN Donating Members 678 Member For: 14y 11m 26d Gender: Male Location: CHCH NZ Posted 16/09/10 05:59 AM Share Posted 16/09/10 05:59 AM is there really a point in a 3.5inch exhaust if the CAT is a 3". Wouldnt it make sense to keep it 3".. I know 3.5inch has more area etc etc but your reducing the 3.5 into 3 then back out I would have though (without knowing jack about exhaust) that it would be preferable to have it all the same size pipe if not smaller at the back.
