Meercat Exhaust

[buffalo]

my car sailed through its 5 year service today so its booked in to meercat nxt sat for a full decat system. i have asked for a full 3" snake head system with heat wrap and 5 1/4" tail pipe. my question is, what size bore for the centre section?

i was going to get a 3" full system with 2.5" flange for posible retro fitting of the the oem cat for mot purposes at the centre section.

however i was pondering whether a 3" full system would be detemental to the flow of exhaust and low end torque of the engine?

i hoping the answer is no and i can get the 3" system.

any views on this or opinions on the exhaust.

oh if it matters i plan to get Dr F'd in the near future as dont want to run nf indefinately.

on the subject of NF is it really neccesary to run NF and v power on a new age wrx due to having the full decat system? i was told to do this due to possible detonation?

go full 3 inch, you know you want to

Mine is a full 3 inch system on a 2L sti 9 uk and i have 370bhp and 364lbs-ft of torque (with other supporting mods)

If your car is a standard UK car, dont bother with booster, you are wasting your money, V-Power is more than enough

If your car is just a full decat again you dont have to run booster, but it would make it safer, the biggest problem I found that was the car wanted to over boost, so i just kept it under 3K rpm untill i got it mapped the next week

Go for the 3", it'll help with any mods you do in the future. The turbo won't spool as quick but you'll never notice as it's marginal.

i run a 3" system with my standard tdo5 16g and it spools up fine.
