    Default 4k exhaust

    ok so i went to the muffler place to get my straight pipe. i wanted 1.75 but he only had 2 inch. me not thinking said ok. car has no torque bit pissed off. going back there tomorrow to swap the pipe for smaller and i was wondering. will 1.5 inch be alright? or will i still loose torque? will it be better than 2 inch? what sizes do people suggest for just a standard 4k
    thanks

    i kept the front resonator and just freed up the rear section. Was loud enough and kept if not made a bit more power.

    hope this helps

    mine was 2 inch from extractors with 1 resinator.
    1.5 would be to small IMO, very close to stock

    Combination of both.

    2" pipe with a muffler will give good results.

    You need -some- backpressure.
    You can have any brew you want... as long as it's a Datsun / Corolla / What is that?

    Exhaust flow is not about back pressure, its all about temp and air speed.

    The bigger the pipe the slower the air speed, thats why you see twin systems instead of a single 5" exhaust.

    You have to work out what size pipe is best for your engine, i have no experience with 4K exhausts so I can't comment.
