Default Flowmaster 2.3

I finally got my exhaust in the mail. I got flomaster mufflers and tailpipes 2.25' all around. So my question is if i go with 2.25 piping from the header to the mufflers is that gonna be too much flow, should i go 2.00" to the mufflers? any ideas

are you making it dual with a Y pipe from the header? if so let me know what y pipe you used, and what exhaust system, as in which tail pipes from which kit and such. im interested in how this will turn out.

2.25 should be plenty. the header itself causes enough backpressure, you should be fine.

will it line up correctly? can i get a link to that, please?

no aftermarket mods done to my car, i customized myself an intake to the fenderwell with pvc, but that was mainly for looks to get rid of the nasty air box. try racingwalsh.com
