3" catback on a ka24E - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Jeff822 · 03-10-2008, 08:24 PM

I'm looking for a cheap exhaust, all the ones I find on Ebay are 3". I've heard different things about 3" on N/A cars but I heard KA's take a 3" exhaust pretty well. Just wondering. It would also save money down the road if I plan on boosting it so I won't have to switch out pipe diameters.

3" has actually been proven to help create power across the entire powerband of the KA.

My only suggestion is to run and or install a proper muffler on the end of it.

The one that comes on it will be the one that stays on it for a little while untill I get more cash for a Magnaflow or something of the sort. Are you worried about it sounding ****ty? The vids I heard on Youtube of the Ebay catbacks don't sound to bad for a N/A car.

non-turbo ka's like 3in piping.

Alright. Right now there is a Pacesetter header on it and I also have a 2.5" test pipe to throw on.

N/A KA are loud and raspy...having owned one once in my life I can assure you of that.
