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. |

First off Aamco screwed up my transmission.. I just today bought another e153 and did the LSD swap myself and reinstalled the trans... how many transmissions have you opened and successfully worked on? Second.. That whole wastegate setup was done in a lot of haste.. Maybe if we were all super knowledgeable professionals like yourself we wouldn't make silly mistakes.. And I tried the "ebay turbo" for a reason.. To see if it's **** or not.. some people have had more success with it. But now I'm running a gt2871R.. anymore smack talk from mr. I'm going to import a lot of body parts from japan because i'll be really cool then and it's a big secret cuz i'm abercrombie cool? How is that 1.8T of yours chugging along? I heard it got beat by a 5sfe and you blamed it all on "traction control". Dave, I think the stock size is 1.75".. 2.25 over axle is a good choice and you won't regret it.
