so i tell my friend how a cat-back for a civic (d15) is 2.25 -2.5 (whatever thats not the point)piping......and he says thats BS cuz bigger is better (for example i should get 4 inch piping instead of 2.25 wtf?).......haha hlet the comments roll in is all i can say...

Your friend is a moron.

any bigger on a d15 than 2.25" is WAY too big unless its a race motor or boosted anyways.

Tell your friend if he can fit his head into the exhaust, that's how big it should be!!

[Wildcat]

quick solution...

[pulse_crx]

you loose way to much torque when you go bigger than 2.25 unless it has boost

[Weapon_R]

More constructively, 2.25" is the biggest you should have unless turbo'd, and even at 2.25" you will notice a decrease in low-end power.

What exactly cause a loss in power?? I've always knew its bad for a stock engine, but I've never had an explanation.

[ninjak84]

tell him to buy 10 inch piping, and see what happens.

i have 2.25" piping and yes, i do notice some loss in low-end power, but high end it helped ALOT...still might be too big, but whatever.

Not enough back pressure for proper exhaust scavenging = loss of low end torque

[Dirty_SOHC]

I'm going to upgrade from 2.5" to 3" this year on my civic

i don't know anything about import exhaust but i think your friend is a total ass!
