Not quite - area = pi*r^2, so:

3" pipe = 4,560mm2

2x2.25" = 5,130mm2

2x2.5" = 6,333mm2

5" pipe = 12,667mm2

so as you can see, 2x2.5 is definately not as much area (flow) as a 5" pipe by a long shot

What i was trying to get at is that you'd think that 2x 2.5 inch pipes would flow more then a single 3" pipe!! Probably wrong though for not the first time!

Well you were on the right track - 2x2.5"s would flow a lot more, but its a lot more surface area than a single 3" and would take more space under the car.

A fairer comparison would be Comparing similar sizes (say 2x2.125" compared to 1x3", both 4560mm2) the flow is almost the same.

Well all i know is this exhaust compared to the trust PE2 this revs up quicker and makes more boost with out changing the settings with the sacrifice of it being almost doubly as loud

but those of you that heard the 4" that i ran for a little bit it isn't quiet as loud as that

instead of having 1 large pipe to get all the flow out of ive gone for a split to keep it high off the ground whilst keeping the flow something a little different too :)

I've got a 3 1/2 inch zorst with a massive center muffler and a hi flow cat and i have no clearance trouble at all, i just took my car to a a good zorst shop and got them to cut it and push the zorst up as hight as they could get it then re-weld it, now i have no problems at all :P

    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
    • Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.
    • I agree once misfires happen it's basically worthless, but the hope is you can see what's happening in the run up to that. 
    • You should totally get a Brumby, and then come pick up the Subaru Liberty GTB I have here. EJ25 Turbo, 6 speed manual from the sti (just no dccd), and the good rear diff. Drop all that into a Brumby and go have fun!
