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’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
