2.25 should be just fine I would think.

I vote 2.25. Plenty of flow and it will look moar sleeperish. :D

Cool, I think that's what I'll do. I do have a left over 3" resonator from my old talon turbo back I'll used. If it still ends up being louder than I wanted, there's enough room under there to later add a 3" muffler underneath.

I have a 3" in/out resonator pipe, a little over 20" long, you can have it for free if you want it.

you could keep the stock exhaust and put a e-cutout in the down pipe thats what i got on my talon i love it.. nice and quite when i dont feel like being loud and obnoxious. just fuel for your thought, figure all you would need to buy then is a 3inch downpipe with a 3inch cut out welded to the end then a flange to the stock exhaust

or

and weld on of those on to a 3inch downpipe

Well ended up finding 2.5 mufflers that are cheaper than 2.25, so I'm going to do dual 2.5".

So it'll be the ebay 3" downpipe that I got with the manifold kit. Going to a custom 3" midpipe I'll make out of my Talon's old turbo back using the flex section and the 3" resonator from it. Then it will split to dual 2.5" using this:

Then two offset in/out 2.5" mufflers in the rear. Will have to find some tips for them. Look just like the magnaflow one I had on the Talon. Got my fingers crossed they end up being great. They are cheap as fawk:

Thanks for the offer man. I'll let ya know but I'm thinking I'll be OK.

Woot back to building it custom, me likely. Buy some tips though, you now have a luxury car, it needs SS tips! haha

Yeah, thinking tips just like was on the talon. 4" tips, angle cut with a rolled edge. Got the one for the talon down at the local Pap Boi :)

Clutch is in. Big thanks to Andy @ Elite for lending me the Clutch Allignment Tool.

That's right, 8-bolt mufukkas:

Stock PP back on:

Why you going with a stock pressure plate?

Because I was recommended this as a cheap option for the power level I'm aiming for this year.

Without reading back 21 pages... What is your power level your going for?

This year is 350-400hp. Just going to run WG boost levels to get used to the car, get kinks worked out, and also the current drivetrain can't handle much more.

And more updates :)

PP torqued to 14lb/ft. Tranny is back in, woo woo. Driveshaft and all that stuff is back in. Thanks for letting me borrow the tranny jack Aaron. I don't think I coulda done this job without it.

SO with that being done, what's next? Manifold. Thanks again to Andy at Elite for chopping off the old WG flange and tacking my new one in place.

How far is the turbo from the hood? Cant tell in the photos. Looks great!

I must have missed it, but what are you doing for an intake manifold?

Stock intake manifold. Again, trying as much as possible to go 1 by 1. Change as little as possible. Get that working as good as possible before changing anything else.
