which would be the best exhaust to put on a D series turbo coupe? i need to get one cuz open downpipe is killing me n i dont kno which would be best.. opinions would be greatly appreciated.. if you kno prices too, that's a major factor.

If price is an issue, go somewere you can buy a few mandrel bent piping(2.5-3") get yourself a few 180deg peices and bring them to a exaust shop. tell them to use the peices and make you an exaust. this way you have the quality of a high dollar exaust without the price tag to ggo withg it. the piping should cost less than $60. you can get it from, Kteller.com or JC Whitney. many other places acrry the stuff, do a search... G/L

BTW the shop sould cost you around 150-225 for the exaust work

like john said, it could be a bit pricey to do it that way... but good luck

you will end up paying for the name, yes most afteramarket exausts are made out of a price shinny metal, but the improvements in power will be the same if its done right. buy a nice canister(only the canister) Apex'i N1 or whatever, have the shop make you a nice 3" all the way back and weld the can of your choice on the end, bam, just saved yourself $200, and I bet that if put on a dyno, the two would make about the same damn numbers. if you are set on shiny metal, get the SS piping from JCW, its a light weight metal, and oh, the regular piping is light as well, its made of aluminized steel.. its your game tho, play it how ever you want.............

you gotta point.. i jus needa find some bends..

OEM w/ a 3in cut out right after the down pipe FTW

Ehh, on the street, cutouts are a bit much, install both a 3" exaust and a cut-out, run the cutout at the track

Look in K-Teller and JC Whitney for all the bends, the exaust shop will supply you with all the straight peices you will need

take a look at the OEM exaust and note all the bends, I would get a few 180deg bends, this will lwet you make more full peice welds in the end.. make sure you get the correct flanges 2-3 if you plan on re-installing a cat or a just in case peice.. G/L
