Highest Flowing Universal Exhaust

I want to buy a universal Exhaust and get a shop to make the rest of my exhaust (Turbo all the way back).
I decided to go single and I want the BEST flowing Exhaust possible. I want everything to be 3 inch and its going to be bolted on a 90 TII.


Thanks

APEXi GT's and N1's are very high flowing, and also pretty loud, but you seem not to care

free flowing = loud.

If you don't care about noise, don't even use a muffler, 3" all the way...no restriction at all. And buy a boost controller and FCD.

Boost controller + FCD + Full Exhaust = Blown engine. A boost controller cannot lower boost, only increase it.

Get a Dynomax 3" inlet high flow muffler, or a Borla XR1. The APEXi stuff is just expensive....

No kidding....... but he didn't ask about anything else that you'd need to run a free flowing exhaust. Intake upgrades and more fuel are required with full exhaust.


Who knows he may already have the 720's, S-AFC, upraded fuel pump, cone filter, TID, boost controller, & FCD, and now he wants to put it all together at the same time with a full exhaust. Very unlikely, but could be possible.

Best flowing?&nbsp NO exhaust.

There is no such thing as "best".&nbsp Everything is a compromise.&nbsp Can you run a 5" pipe under the car?&nbsp A 5" pipe will flow more than a 3" pipe, but most people can't bend or fit that large a pipe under the car.

I dont care how loud it is, I cant find a universal Apexi GT exhaust.

Im either going to be sending my ECU out to E.L or getting a Apexi S-AFC for fuel. Im not sure what to do yet.

Like Ted said, why limit yourself to 3" pipe diameter? I know 3 1/2" fits as that is what I have and I believe 4" fits as Soul Assasin has 4" to dual 3"- I believe. Connection to stock turbo becomes an "issue" though.

It is impossible to hurt turbo performance w/ too big of and exhaust. It may be overkill in terms of $$ spent to performance gains, though w/ stock turbo. My turbo is the biggest stock upgrade w/ "O" trim rear, so if 2.5" to 3" makes a significant difference on stock, I bet 3" to 3.5" will make a significant diffence on a big upgrade turbo.
Plus, it never hurts to have the big exhaust on so when you do get the full T04 you don't have to upgrade exhaust as well (just mod/adapt downpipe).
My view on it...
