Goodday Gents,
Without getting to much into detail, I've been searching the forums quite a bit on this subject but came out more dizzy then I entered. So please correct and add on the below as that will help me for sure Keep in mind I am a newb regarding any mechanical tuning.....
1. Manifold, all tubes of the manifold should be around the same lenght, this to increase a better flow.
- Is that correct?
- Does the manifold already increase in width from lets say 2" to 2,25" at the end? Or does the manifold always stay the same width. And why?
2. Downpipe, this bit also sends the flow to the turbo right?
- So again, about the width, do you increase it from start to finish?
- Do you increase the pipe towards the turbo? Or is that a nono?
3. Centre pipe, this has the cat in there.
- A sports centre pipe/cat has less airflow restriction and therefor increasing power correct?
- Again same question about the width
4. End pipe/muffler So this is the last bit correct? I understand you need a sports muffler as that has less restriction in airflow and thus improving performance.
- Also does this also still become wider?
So yeah, a lot to do with the width as I do not understand that properly on how that works or starts. And are there good brands which have full lines I can purchase right away, or do you buy each part from a different manufacturer? Or do I let a garage... produce one? I hope a few of you will take the time to teach me a thing or two about this. Thank you very much in advance!
