Exhaust question

[greygoose]

I wanted to know is it better to have a mandrel bent 2 1/4 exhaust or a crush bent 2 1/5 exhaust when you have a 1.8 going for 200whp?

I'm sure you meant crush bent 2.5 or 2 1/2..

Anyway, Mandrel FTW. Keep that exhaust flowing quickly. bigger with crush bends will make it flow slower and have added backpressure/crappier flow from all the turbulence and bottle necking caused by the crush bends.

thank you and yes I meant 2 1/2 sorry about the type o

why not 2.5 mandrel bent?

I'd do 2.5 personally.

2 1/4 would be good for a 1.8l motor. if you were going turbo i would suggest 2 1/2. it's up to you though.

2.5 is a good size for a b-series, NA.
