Bigger than stock will reduce low end torque...........

really so i should leave the exhaust pips stock and just put on a new high flow cat and take of the resinator and the shound should be better?

There was already a thread on exhausts

Time has come for exhaust whis is better borla or Magnaflows and wheel talk.

read and see if there are any posts that answers your question or search the forum. There are other exhaust threads.

Come on dude look around a little bit before you start new threads. There has been so much talk about exhausts and what's better and sounds better. Go on youtube and you'll find all kinds of clips.

Theres no need for a high flow cat. Youre not boosted. stick w/ the stock cat, and just get a 2.5 piping from the cat/or resonator back to your muffler.

btw, search.

....interesting, but I hoped your next post was showing us a LSB turbo'd I4 Camry. Forget about the piping and show us the Camry.

lol tobeit. its in the show and share section.

very interesting. so getting a new cat wouldn't help w/the sound at all? i'm deleting the resinator so should the front pipe i put on in place of the resinator be 2.5in also?

beck26 · 06-14-2009, 04:39 PM

i was reading some threads and i see people buying resinators that are high flow? just don't want my v6 to sound ricy or anything. so waht all would i need to do to finish my exhaust? add 2.5 inch pipes from the cat back to the mufflers? do i need to use a certain type of bend or anything? i've been reading so much i'm just getting more confused i believe.

It's all 2.5" for stock piping.

It's recommended to have mandrel bends over crush bends, but not a much difference for NA cars I'd say.

You can either delete resonator or run high flow resonator. I ended up deleting my resonator on my V6 and had two custom mufflers put in place.
