Which is better for a stock 5sfe, 2.25 or 2.5in pipe? I've searched around and its a pretty even split on opinions between them. I've decided on the HKS Carbon TI muffler with the 60mm (just over 2.25 in) inlet, i know its expensive for a stock motor but it looks damn good and sounds sweet, my mind is made up. Carbon fiber is just so sweet!!!!
 Now i just gotta decide what size piping, its gonna be catback, and whether or not to go under axle or over. What are the pros and cons of each??? If i go "under axle" will there be any clearance issues since my car is lowered??? i know this question comes up a few times, but im looking for a definative answer...i've searched alot and i still can't come up with a good answer. |

Personally I would run under-axle just because it will eliminate the 180 degree bend over the rear axle. under-axle will flow better. You won't really notice a difference, but still.
