exhaust size?

[Ultima]

can someone tell me the diameter of the exhaust which the gen3 3sge came with stock?
also, what size exhausts are you guys running on this motor? would 2" be adequate ?(something is telling me no?)

are u intending to change the diameter of the exhaust only, or the whole piping?

I hope u are not intending to do the changes like those moronic civic drivers who just increase the size of the muffler and make it into a fart can...

from what i've read, a 3" swap, from the downpipe and straight through will be good enuff...

seniors, please correct me if i'm wrong

i hate those guys!!!

no no. i plan to put the gen3 3sge in my camry. i just want to know what exhaust size (as in a full sports exhaust system) would be apppropriate? currently i have a 2" cat back exhaust and i was hoping i could stick with that (in order to keep costs to minimum). but im assuming that 2" would be too restrictive for that motor?

2 inch is fine, whatever size the pipe is at the flange of the exhaust manifold is the size your piping/cats/resonators/flex pipes and muffler(1/4 either way is ok for muff) should be. If you have 2 inch pipe at the flange then run 3 inch pipe back, the exhaust expands, but then, if your muffler is snaller, say 2 1/4, the exhaust has to compress it to move that volume through, you just want is as free flowing as possible.

But I mean, if you run 3 inch from the flange back, everything included, no reason for harm there, that'll breathe wondefully
