high flow or not??
Saturday, August 20, 2005 7:42 AM
I have a 95 2.2 and i have right now a 2.25 exhaust with a magnaflow highflow cat and muffler. I am going to be going and getting a header soon and im getting the pacesetter. When i do this i was thinking of taking out the high flow and putting a stock .2.25 cat in instead....would this be a good idea?will it help get back some of my bottom end or will the header really liven things up ???phil

well if you are gonna keep the exhuast, and get a header... the stock cats pipes are smaller than 2.25, so why would you even wanna put a restriction in the exhuast system by using a smaller piped cat?

pretty much all converters are high flow.

got a magnaflow?

always remember,
pretty much most aftermarket companies will meet or exceed stock levels/quality.

stock is a high flow....for its size.


so everything there after will be high flow in the least, as long as the pipe size is the same as the rest of the exhaust

yah it s a magna flow of a carsound i think they call it..im going to keep that in...should i get rid of the the triple flanges while im at it? and even if i have motor mounts should i put a flex pipe in with the pacesetter? phil

flanges....up to you... if you do keep em, get locknuts that arent nylon as the nylon melts out after time...

personally, i have motor mounts and a transmission mount....AND a flex pipe.... insurance never hurt.
