Exhaust booked - please leave feedback.

[Forshaw]

Just booked in for a custom catback exhaust. Just after a little feedback from some of our more experienced members as this is the first car I've done aftermarket mods to. Cheers

DETAILS:
2" stainless steel mandrel bend catback exhaust with a 3" chrome circular tip. Will also get it HPC coated ASAP. Wondering if the sizes are reasonable, fair. I was also quoted $700 for it, (without HPC, as the shop doesn't actually do that, I must go elsewhere.)

Thanks heaps!

Sorry, it's for my NA8 might I add.

Might help to know what model you have...and 2"?

[hks_kansei]

2inch is larger than stock, but not huge. I think stock on the NA6 (I assume NA8 is same) is about 1.75inch or something (it's tiny)


Personally, I wouldn't bother with HPC coating. It's already made from stainless so rust isn't a worry, and being only a catback heat isn't much of an issue.
If it were me I'd not even bother with stainless, I'd get mild steel for everything and just get a stainless tip.


edit:
what is your aim with the setup?
Power? just noise?

[Forshaw]

Thanks guys, I'm not going to worry about the HPC then, but I'm going with stainless steel for piece of mind etc, I can't see myself getting rid of this car for a while.

I'm after power but I also know its not going to make a huge difference.

Planning on looking at some headers, and a high flow cat but I'll purchase those in the next few weeks.

Cheers,

Stock for NA6 is 1 7/8" & stock for NA8 is 2".

Correct, however not mandrel bent, tiny 20 year old cat, rubbish headers, and a chambered restrictive muffler.

This will help a lot assuming straight through muffler, However I wouldnt suggest the 3" tip, it will not sound nice (drone).
