so today i decided i wanted to get the flowmaster 40 i had around put on the truck. the shop was doing a great job and i had them doing exactly what i wanted (2.25 in, 2.5 out). when it got toward the 2.5 section we decided that there wasn't enough clearance for flex the way i wanted it. so i settled with 2.25...........

long story short, somehow i ended up with 2.25 in and 2.0 out!!!

would it be louder with a bigger pipe at the end???

please let me know this is killing me..............thanx

 

Bigger pipe = louder, yes.

2" mandrel bent is perfect for this engine in my opinion. 2 1/4" pressure bent seems to get a lot of reasonable opinions from most.

I would take it back and get it done in 2 1/4" the entire way out.

 

i have to go back to the shop anyways.....so i think i'll milk 'em for it........i'm really pissed.

 

c'mon guys. can anyone else back me up here, going from a bigger pipe to a smaller pipe is dumb right?

 

I am in a similar situation. Mine is coming off the new header, it is going out the new header 2.5 then to 2.25 then down to 2 at cat, out 2, then to 2.25. I was always told to keep it consistent all of the way out. Ted at engnbldr said run it 2.25, so thats what I will do.

 

yeah 2.25 on my 22re with a 40 series sounds great, loud too.i would have them fix it.

ever wonder why those ricers have 4 or 5 inch tips?
it resonates loud as hell.

 

A larger tail pipe after the muffler doesn't make it louder, it makes it deeper and gives the exhaust a directional flow.

I had my shop do 2.25 to the muffler, and then 2.5 out the back to give it a deeper sound so it wouldn't sound so ricey. I'm pretty happy with it.

 

Yes. Please try to avoid the rice sound. Yota's are not meant to be like that.

 

well ya, i've got the "ricey" sound right now. i really need to have them fix this ˟˟˟˟˟. thanks guys.

 

i have 2.25 cat back and it rocks, a little ricey till the muffler broke in, but i plan on doing a header/hi flow cat here in the future. Plus i have a 22re.

 

That doesn't sound right, I've seen people do that in Guatemala out of necesity, as it's hard to find a bender for larger pipes, but I would think that the 2" end would take any benifits away from the 2.25" cat-muffler and might even be worse than the original (all 2.25", right?). What kind of shop did you take it to?

 

alright, my bad guys, the original was 2.0 all the way. and so is the new. i went back today and all is good.

i think once the muffler is broken in it will be okay. thanks for the input fellas.
