    Just had my custom exhaust done and after a long chat with Ian Birch of Pipewerx I went for 2 freeflow silencers and 2.5" with 3" downpipe option using mandrel bends as this setup will take 360 to 380bhp max without any serious backpressure issues and no boominess...
    If you're aiming for more than this then you'll need 3" all the way...
    1986 Coupe q - 2281cc 3B, chargecooler, 2.75" exh & downpipe, ported head, water injection, CGR box, modified MD357 turbo, 440cc injectors, high power coil.

        The downpipe is the same from the turbo to lambda bung in RS2 and ABY?

        Because my engineer says to use the original part of the DP from the turbo to the lambda bung.

        It's a good idea o is better do it all in 3"?

        Cheers

            But it's 2.75" from the turbo or from the lambda bung?

                If you go ahead with the 3" exhaust system - you will be revisiting it within the coming months when the continual ringing in oyur ears - and inability to hold conversations over long journeys will become a drag - other than that - it will sound awesome!!!!!!
