Right now I have intake/header/exhaust, pulleys, fuel pressure regulator and fuel rail, and I've been thinking about a new exhaust set up. Now I found a hi flow cat for 30 bucks on ebay and a Apex N1 syle muffler for about 50 bucks, if I get 2.5 in piping will I lose any power, or should I stick with a 2.25in piping?

Thanks

Do you have any other work done on your engine that you need a fuel psi regulator & fuel rail?

Any future plans to take advantage of these exterior mods?

My muffler is a generic ebay tanabe racing medallion pseudo muffler. Anyone have any experience like this? I leave the silencer in the muffler almost all the time because, A. It sounds better and B. Is it me or leaving the silencer IN actually increases low end tq? I'm just not sure what's up. any insights? peaCe.

I think I'm going to replace the header & exhaust, but keep the stock cat for a bit....maybe later switch it up and if I don't like it..sell it if it does affect my low-end significantly.

i have 2.5 inch piping on my f series motor. its alot strong up top and really didnt change much at lower rpms.

I've been looking all over ebay and it seems the only mufflers they sell have 2.5in inner diameter. Will I lost alot of low end power? But in the mean tiem I still try to find a muffler with 2.25in inner diameter.
