dual 2'inch on my Bridgeport???

whatup guys!!! My SE has a 13B 4p BridgePort now. I LOVE IT!! Helll of a difference from the stock 6port....DUH! well yeah... I got my entire exhaust system from my uncles old 7. Its full dual 2inch w/ 2 glasspacks and 2 super turbo mufflers (ive never heard of them). The car runs great and its not that loud (esp for a BP) but im thinking of going full dual 2 1/2. what should i do? Oh yeah, i also drive my 7 to work and school everyday

I don't think you'll gain anything other than noise by going to 2.5".

He'll gain some top end with bigger pipes but boy will it be louder. 2 1/8 is a better compromise but even then not worth the $ to refab the exhaust.

If you are going to put $ into your exhuast, keep what you have and get a accuated dump so when you are ready to run at the track you can just open the dump and run the way a BP is supposed to run. Headers only and that will give you MORE POWER!

If noise isnt a concern and you go full exhaust,a single 3" pipe will take up less space and has the same overall volume as dual 2 1/8" pipes.(about 7" squared)

Is there a way you can get a picture of the system? I want to see where the mufflers are. I'm wondering where you can hide 2 turbo mufflers in a 1st gen.

yeah.. My dad had a single 3inch on his old BP that was in his RX3. yeah it made power but not quite as much as my dual 2's. It sounded nicer, it just didnt have any top end power at all. He got killed by a prelude!!! =( to me i think thats pretty sad considering it being a full bridge.

I could take a pic of my exhaust setup but i dont know how to post it. im still a newbie to this forum. hep me out
