put my corksport cat-back on
well, it finally came today. the box was all beat to ****, and there was a small dent in the muffler, but other than that it was nice. a nice little engraving on the side that said "corksport mazda exhaust system". the stainless looks really nice too.
now for the sounds. i bolted the cat back right up when i got it. i dont have a good lift or anything, and no real way to replace my cat right now, so i just left my stock cat on, and hopefully ill find someone with a lift tomorrow. So anyways, with the stock cat, this system is still loud as all hell. i mean, LOUD. but it isnt a shitty loud, it doesnt sound like a weedeater or anything. at idle it just rumbles, all the way to about 3000 RPM. once you hit between 4 and 5 it screams. but the whole time it maintains this really throaty, bassy exhaust note. it isnt edgy or hondaish at all. and when you roll up the windows and close the sunroof, it really isnt that loud at all. but, you do scare pedestrians when you drive by.
overall rating........9.5 on the product, 2 on the service.

And a great price.
Now get video or pictures.

Damn straight node! Anybody got any suggestions for dual exhaust on a T2? Preferably affordable? I was looking at the corksport, but I really REALLY want duals

Bigger is always better on Turbos. Always.
The turbo itself provides any back pressure you need.
The greater the pressure difference between the sides on the turbo the faster it will spool.
Edit: Well, not always better i guess, becuase if you go too big you'll lose velocity and create more restrictions i guess. But for the most cases, anything upto 3.5" should be fine on a modded turbo rotary...

Ugghh...NO
The diff in ID due to gage/wall thickness between 16GA (.065") and 20GA (.035") is negligible. The majority of Exhaust tubing is quoted in OD. Go grab a crane 401 manual to compute the flow difference. If longivity is a concern, thicker wall, If weight is a concern thinner wall. You also should consider the nois attenuation factor (to reduce "tinny" sounds) of the wall thickness of the TUBING you are using.
TUBING:
16GA 2 1/4" ss tubing weighs 1.531 lbs/ft
20GA 2 1/4" ss tubing weighs 0.836 lbs/ft
PIPE: Their is no readily available 2 1/4" pipe so 2 1/2" is used for comparison
NPS(nominal Pipe size) 2 1/2" OD= 2.875"
Sch 5S weighs 2.498 lbs/ft wall thickness = 0.083"
Sch 10S weighs 3.564lbs/ft wall thickness = 0.120"
