Hassan Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 Well wot i mean is can i push 650hp through 2.5" pipe or would i need to change it for 3" pipe work? Or does it go by max psi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I don't think it makes a massive difference. Most of mine is 3 apart from one bend that drops to 2 inch because 3 wouldn't fit and it's a very odd angle I can't seem to get in 3" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldnt really make a difference tbh but people start changing to bigger pipework when pushing big numbers just to gain that little bit more. For a normal single set up 2.5" - 3" should be more than enough to support 650hp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I would say 3" would be ideal as then you know its not being restrictive. A friend of mine on his polo is currently limited in power by his intercooler piping and his exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
