Hello all, quick question, what is everyone running in terms of piping size for the exhaust/downpipes?

Was thinking 2 1/2"....

Seems to be ok.

You will struggle to get 2.5" past the pot joint/subframe.

Fitting Shaunas 1.75" was still a pain, wouldn't advise any more than 2" tbh

My engine mounts are drilled 1/2" further forward as it's a late model. 2" exhaust fits ok with about 1/2" clearance all around.

2" fits no problem on normal metro turbo style turbo/manifold.

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will
