a. chambered/baffled mufflers quiet hondas down. i had a thrush turbo muffler with chambers and baffles and NO pacikng, and all you heard from my setup was the engine. it sounded stock. i also had another one on my old setup and it too was quiet. straight thru ovals with no packing dont quiet anything down any mroe than a fart can will.
b. the only difference between 60mm piping and 2.5" piping is 1/8 an inch. THATS IT. that is not going to limit any future power gains. ive seen b series motors with 60mm exhausts make 200 + n/a all day long. if anything it may benifit the powerband of that b16 since the 1/8 of a inch smaller diameter will give a tiny extra amount of back pressure. but that will be minimal if anything. you wont see much a difference between 2.5" pipe and 60mm pipe. mandrel bends are a must tho to prevent bottle necks. if anything youll get the best gains from a good header and a test pipe/higher flowing cat.
