Exhaust size?
My car was turbo charged but I removed the system to sell the car. Now my question is, can I use a 3 inch exhaust catback on the natural aspirated engine? I was thinking to make 2.5 inch downpipe and connect it to the 3 inch catback I have.
Is this possible?
what are the pros and cons?
If it help to know i can re-tune the car, because I have HPtuners software

If you are selling it who cares? Just leave the 3 on, it will suck some low end power, but other than that it would be fine.....

haha, well yeah I never reached to upgrading the suspension.
I never dyno'd it but one thing i can say, it goes really fast, faster than a F150 SVT 500WHP truck that has a 1/4mile time of 12 sec. lol

The exhaust will be fine, I think we got the same exhaust
I ran mine without the blower for a couple months, no problem. |

anywhere between 10 bucks and 10,000 is my guess... price means nothing you could do it for 500 if you know how to tune and weld..

Except for just the core turbo costs probably 800-1200...

The total price came around 10.000 ish USD, including: injectors, hptuners software, wastegate, BOV, headers, exhaust system and turbo.
Besides that, the heads are port and polished and 5 angle or whats it called valve job with SS valves and LS6 valve springs. ARP headstuds, ported lower intake manifold.
Besides all of these, I had electronic boost controller AEM, PLX wide band, boost gauge, euroforce intercepter gauge.
And to finish everything I did the 5 speed manual swap.
Soo... total invested cost is more likely to be above 18 thousand.
But after all the head aches I had, I sold the whole turbo setup so I got some part of the total amount back.
