dannysupratt Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Hi i have a uk spec TT which is fully decatted but i dont have a boost controller at the moment. The cat back exhaust is a custom made job which was on the car when i bought it but the bore is only about 2.5 inch. What i want to know is the bore too small, will i loose any power from it? The car pulls very well alot quicker that my last standard TT but im just wondering if it would benefit from a bigger bore. Also it makes one hell of a mad noise, it sounds like a really powerfull single with a baffle in the exhaust. Will this be because of the bore? Thanks:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class One Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 2.5" will be just the job for a bpu. Most decats are 2.5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 2.5" is fine as Class One says. I think smaller bore exhausts sound good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannoSupra Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I had a 2.5" Straight through and i didn't peak more than 1.0Bar, as soon as i slapped a 3", i could get it up to 1.3Bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I'm running a 2.5" decat with a single;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannysupratt Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 cheers lads but i mean the whole exhaust not just the decats, does it make a difference ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 The stock system branches to a twin 2.25(?) inch section to the back box. However it does have 3 very restrictive silencers so combined with an open system 2.5 through the whole lot might be okay. I've not seen a cat back for sale thats smaller than 2.75 inch though.

Some exhausts can be restrictive at the resonater box, I wouldnt risk it, 3inch minimum with a 2.5inch restrictor ring, if anything your egt's would be lower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old stock system only had one box and that was the rear one...it did branch like you say...but no boxes there..is this normal:search: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All supra's AFAIK had a twin box system in the 1st part of the cat back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the NA stock exhaust system which had 2 extra boxes on the pipework. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
