Exhaust - 3/31/2003 9:58:38 AM    ursnkb8   Posts: 3 Joined: 3/31/2003 From: United States Status: offline What is the offset or the inlet outlet for the mufflers and y pipe on a 1997 mustang cobra and what do you think is the best exhaust setup? Post #: 1

Exhaust - 3/31/2003 7:42:11 PM    jeep45238   Posts: 2199 Joined: 3/31/2003 From: United States Status: offline 3" or so on n/a V8's. I'd go 3.5...maybe 4" if boosted. That dia...keep it all the way through the system. (in reply to ursnkb8) Post #: 2

Exhaust - 4/3/2003 1:17:10 AM    jeep45238   Posts: 2199 Joined: 3/31/2003 From: United States Status: offline I PERSONALLY think that 2.5 is pathetic. That's GREAT for a Saturn 1.9L (ok...so 2.25 daily driven, but 2.5 is great for the ones that see more "abuse"). On a V8...that small? Come on now, UP THE SIZE. You want HIGH exhaust gas velocity (and high volume transfer), and as little backpressure as possible. No matter what you all think, backpressure chokes an engine. It's one of the myths everybody believes, like open headers burning valves and aligators in New York's sewers. (in reply to ursnkb8) Post #: 6

Exhaust - 4/3/2003 3:45:29 PM    jeep45238   Posts: 2199 Joined: 3/31/2003 From: United States Status: offline Adapters. Or, buy headers and work from there. My down pipe (stock) is about 2". GM (for some DAMNED REASON) decided to reduce that to 1 7/8 at the end of the cat. They then decided to take that down to 1 1/2 at the muffler. Go talk to some local shops, you'll be suprised what they can do. You'll definately be happier with bigger than 2.5. That V8 won't really suffer from low end torque loss (pipe DIA's alter the power curve and move it higher in the RPM band. Although this may sound crappy for street motors, they also rev up to those peaks much faster). Toss on some straight pipes if you can. They sound SAWEET on 302's. (in reply to ursnkb8) Post #: 8

If your going any bigger than 2.5 without MAJOR mods you are an idiot. If you like big pipes so much buy a Civic or put one on your Saturn. (in reply to ursnkb8) Post #: 11

Exhaust - 4/6/2003 1:58:35 AM    jeep45238   Posts: 2199 Joined: 3/31/2003 From: United States Status: offline I'm just speaking from dyno sheets on a smaller motor. I just don't see how 2.5L per side will like 2 1/2 inches. Especially when my lil 1.9L likes 2 1/2 inches. Course, every car is different. It just seems too small to me, but then again, I've probably been in the domestic 4 banger world too long.

They think 17&18 second time slips are fast, and that my satty runs 25's. I love the looks on their faces when I'm done. (in reply to ursnkb8) Post #: 17
