Exhaust Plans...Does this sounds ok?
Ok i'm going to get my exhaust done tom. I have a 92 s13 just to set that staight. Ok I'm going to get 3" piping from the header back. No cat. no resognator(spelling). I will put an Es tuning 2.25" exhaust on it. The reason: When i go turbo i'm hoping all I will have to do i hack the ES muffler off and get a turbo N1. Will my KA really suffer from 3" piping with a 2.25" exhaust? If so maybe i will get 2.5" piping but I'm broke and dont want to have to do the exuast twice so im hoping the 3" pipe with 2.25" exhaust will work. The exhuast looks stock. Will it be hella loud? Please any input before friday. I'm leaving early in the morning so I would like to get some opinions before i potentially waste my time and money.

Yes, "hella loud".
It will be good once you get a turbo on there, but still loud.
You need a resonator and a muffler to keep it reasonable.
But if you only wanna spend the $$$ once, that plan works.
Although, I'd go with a 3" muffler now, as the piping is gonna hurt your low end anyway, might as well have to do everything only once...no muffler swaps.

3" exhaust wont hurt his low end. Dont have the link anymore but there was a dyno sheet on freshalloy of a bone stock S13 then the same car with a full 3" exhaust and no other mods. Peak HP gain of 14 with no loss anywhere in the powerband. Maybe that was a freak car, but still I doubt there would be little if any loss.
