Ok so I have a kia headder, cam swap, k hybrid, intake, and advanced timing. I was wondering if the stock lx exhaust with a cat and turbo muffler are good anough or would it be best to go up to 2 1/4" to let it breath out better. And have a little burlery sound?

I say keep it stock. Those mods aren't adding much power. You open it up and it's going to sound awfully loud.

My GTX only has 2.5" and it makes more than 100hp more than yours. I say no need.

Plus, I hate the sound of a fart cannon/big exhaust.

The car right now sounds like a fart can. Haha. And I think 2 1/4 would be perfect and give it a better tone.

This is a 1.9? 88hp from the factory. With those mods - 93 hp. There's no need to upgrade an exhaust until you're much higher than that.

No, he just did a BP swap. 2 or 2 1/4 would be ideal. Some guys have taken he exhaust pipe off a Neon and run that...I know. I still have full original exhaust, so no basis of comparison. But hope to upgrade it next year, it's pushing 20 years old.

Oh no sorry. Mines a 1.8 with ps ac delete header exhaust cam swap intake and a k hybrid.

 

[wa-sleeper]

The neon ones fit right in?.

I think Escort92man did it with little work and it is 2 1/4 solid stuff. Much better than the Walker aftermarket crap.

I can't remember - what is the stock pipe size for the 1.8L? 2 1/4"? I'd like to increase mine to 2.5", however as Yoda had mentioned, I would rather have it sound nice (not rice) and not obnoxiously loud.

I'd like to know this before I soon fix up my exhaust system due to leaks, if anyone could help.. (in the Tech & Repair section):

Stock pipe size for the 1.8 is 1 7/8", possibly 1 3/4" in some places.
