fff turbo kit exhaust

[Bankz27]

I know there is alot of topics about this kit but I am just wondering if I put a magnaflow exhaust system on my car then put the turbo kit on would there be any problems with this set up. Like would I have to change the exhaust or anything like that. Also wondering if it is better to get new headers or keep the stock exhaust manifolds. I asked tiago and he said to keep the manifolds but that doesnt seem right ot me. Any input would be great

tiago made the kit so i think hes right [img]graemlins/stickpoke.gif[/img]

what year its your car?

EDIT i see you have a 2002

if you get headers the kit will not fit and the gian of the headers is not worth price, you mannies flow really well already....

like viper said, the 02 manifolds flow good and the kit is made to fit those manifolds. The cat back is fine, wont affect the kit.

The better flowing a manifold/header you run on a turbo kit, the better. headers will flow better than factory manifolds, tubular or not.

yes but for the tiny tiny bit of power for the ~500 its going to cost for headers and to get the y-pipe adapted over its just not worth it

Anyone with a turbo running a straight pipe to the back of the car after the cat? I'm wondering if you even need/want a "cat back" system with a turbocharger.

after hearing shanes turbo system with an open down pipe i have come to the conclusion that a muffler is not a neccessity with a turbo. It sounds like a LM or Rumbler almost. That said if you dont want an annoyingly loud car i would run a cat back just to tame it down some more. As for Tubulars vs. headers, there is deffinately some power to be gained from the headers but it wont be an astronomical gain and to me is not worth the money or the hassle of putting the headers on (bolts have been know to break when removing the manifolds) unless you want to get the absolute most out of your setup. It is up to you, look at the pros and cons of everything before you go ahead with anything.

Header would make a little more power. I am running a Turbo on my 99 Camaro with stock manifolds, Im not sure how good they flow.

However,
I think headers are over rated for our cars when turboing. A small 1 5/8 header will support 1500 HP on a V8 car. Most V6 guys here are making around 500 HP. I think manifolds are plenty.

Annoyingly being the key word.

I hacked off my muffler. I'll see how it sounds with just the striaght pipe after the cat and see if I want to put a better muffler with 3" piping on or not once my tranny comes in.

you would gain alot becues you have the log type-manifold that SUCK !!!! but in 2000+ cars they have the tubular mannies and flow MUCH better...

Im not saying you wrong Viper. Ill let you **** your own pants when you see my Dyno numbers with Stock mannies :D

Remember 1500 HP on a 1 5/8 header. We are not making near that.

but your 3 go into one it don't flow well at all with the log maniies

unless you have the tube one's installed i bet you log one's glow after hard driving

We will see what happens. BTW could I just switch out my mannies for some 2000+ one with no mods to my Y-pipe?

im not sure how different the y-pipe would have to be, they will bolt up with minor mods to the AC tubing tho
