k so i've decided on my exhaust

im keepin my n/a for now so ima hav my exhaust set up like this

ranger header, leavin the cat in, 2" exhaust to a glasspack

is this legal? i cant find the damn info on it anywhere online.. i musta googled like a million times

and wut u think of that exhaust?

[ReverendDexter]

What do you mean legal? You're not in Cali, so what restrictions do you have?

[MSO]

i dunno dude, i've never done an exhaust before..

how the hell am i sposed to kno wuts legal and wuts not legal

its more helpful to jus say, its legal, ur ok

[93fourbangerstanger]

no it is not legal
nether is speeding
nether is smoking pot people still do it tho they prolly wont do any thing if u get them installed, and if your keeping it n/a i wouldnt get the header. plus glass packs will sound like SHIT on a four i went with flowmaster 40 they sound good

[TurboLX]

+1 for 93, Glasspacks sound like shit on N/A cars, but Turbo cars it sounds better, go with a Flowmaster 40 and it will sound like a big ol' v8, what do you thing about the flowmaster 93four?

[93fourbangerstanger]

nice, very nice.i got dumps.i put the intake on too ill show u some pics when i get some rims.

[TurboLX]

sweet man, do you feel a big power difference?

[93fourbangerstanger]

yup.

[TurboLX]

lol you now have 100hp lmao

[93fourbangerstanger]

hey f u man
lol jk

[TurboLX]

lmao its funny

[MSO]

i dont want it to sound like a V8, i want ppl to kno its a 2.3

on a side note, wut is the best exhaust for torque? thats wut i want over horsepower

[TurboLX]

then glasspacks for torque, and why do you want it to sound like a 4 banger??

[MSO]

cuz it IS a 4 banger lol

somebody has to show everyone that 2.3s can do it too.. im gonna put the emblems on it too.. the 2.3 emblems

on both sides

i dont think my goals are unrealistic, but tell me wut u think

my overall goal, before i swap to a 2.3 (sometime in the next 2 years i guess) is 150hp

thats way later tho, for now i jus wanna stick wit this, im expecting to get done wit this by next summer, but u kno how it is wit cars lol:
intake and exhaust
camshaft
p&p head
valves, valve springs, all that..
longrod kit (not sure between hypereutectic and forged, i heard forged are hard on non-turbo, startup.. etc.)
UD pullies
ignition system
(i heard about half-shafting the throttle body w/e the hell that is, i guess ill throw that in here too then)

if i cant reach 150 doin that stuff, which i doubt i will, ima add the juice

if i do add the juice, i might jus keep it and say F the turbo

opinions and suggestion are welcome/encouraged

[TurboLX]

well a N/A 2.3 would be even more original and i respect your desicion, but all the 2.3 Turbo's sound like V8's cuz of the turbo

[MSO]

yea.. i like the wimpy cars

makes me feel good when i beat on the big guys and their V8s

[TurboLX]

haha thats why i went with the 2.3, beat v8's and still get 30mpg

[MSO]

hell yea, my buddy got a 2.3 ranger.. shit gets better gas mileage than these damn toyotas everyone loves so much

thats another reason i like my 2.3

but back on topic, u think the glasspacks will give the most torque?

[TurboLX]

i saw a guy wrenching on his new tundra on the side of the road today, lmao

anyway yea they will because it is straight thru with no chambers, and we all no if there is no back pressure it will give more torque

[MSO]

u think the car will smoke w/o the catalytic converter and w/ a glasspack? thats all im worried about..
