Ok, yes...but it is nothing worth writing home about.

Don't use that quote here man. That's what people w/V-8's say to us 4 bangers.

...and? There is also no replacement for efficiency, but that doesn't have quite the ring.

...and we are back on topic.

I have a Apex'i WS2 exhaust and plan on putting a Toda header on.

From what I understand, the WS2 is 2.36 in diameter.
Are you guys telling me that I shouldn't put the Toda header on with this exhaust?

It probably isn't a good idea if you want to get as much out of it as you can. The WS2 is awful from a performance standpoint. You want a 2.5" exhaust with a straight through muffler.

bottlenecks cut down on the efficiency of the entire exhaust system. if you're willing to sacrifice a few hp for reduced sound you can use the ws2.

So what are some good exhaust that have the 2.5 collector but not extremely loud or that ricey sound. I want to keep my cat. convert. since I have to take car in when emissions due.
So other than Toda you would go with a Jdm 4-1.

Apex-i makes a straight-through WS2 for turbo apps. and I think it's 2.5" if I'm not mistaken.

and yes the Toda header is a lot better than the DC.

I think i'd rather sacrifice a couple HP. I just don't want to draw attention to my car. Plus I live in NYC....I just don't want the attention.
