| Exhaust Piping.
I read the above, but I still wanted to get some opinions. This will be on a 2.0L 3SGTE turbo motor with a stock turbo pushing max say 15psi.
The exhaust I have is kinda weird here are the specs: 2.5" B-pipe then increases to 2.75" into the canister.
Now my question is would I benefit more from a 3" downpipe or 2.5"? Would the 3" DP create unwanted back pressure? Yea I know I need a new exhaust LOL. Will do when I decide to get a new turbo or something.
Thanks!

If your downpipe is 3" but flows into a B-pipe that's 2.5...then it really doesn't do anything. Might as well just stick with a 2.5" downpipe. Intuitively, you would think the flow is interrupted (turbulence) when it goes from 3 -> 2.5, and such is true. A straight 2.5 is much better.

if your piping is only 2.5 there's no reason to get a 3" DP since it'll just get bottle necked anyways, unless you're planning on getting a 3" exhaust anyway. personally i think 2.5-2.75 is perfect for your setup, i say that even though i have a 3" on my NA car lol .

I would go with a 2.5" downpipe setup.
Totally OT, but are you putting in that motor in your Prelude?

Yes I do know that and that's prolly why it should be a somewhat easy swap. | |

Go with a 3" dp it will help spool even if it bottlenecks further down the line.

If you have the option to do a 3" down pipe do it now rather than have to do it later. The boost gods will thank you for it.
Berz out.
