Pretty sure they only offer that in 2.25". If they made it in 2.5" I would be willing to get one
Personally, I think once people start getting stuff like P&P heads, custom intake manifolds, cams, race headers, etc... all at once on their 2.3's, your going to see a need for 2.5" cat backs. It's a bigger engine, it's need's to breath better, right?
If it were me I'd start with a 2.5" just to avoid having to get it in the future if you find out it's worth a few lb/ft over the 2.25" ones.

exactly^^^^
truth is with all that torque you're making downlow, the tradeoff means jack in the end. I doubt you'd find even a deadstock PZEV suffering w/ torque loss.
by the time you've got I/E (not even headers, let alone cam, etc) you're prolly gonna get a significatn gain out of a 2.5 versus a 2.25

We have several local shops that have a mandrel machine up here.
As far as the 2.5" vs. the 2.25" Over at the NASIOC (soob site) the best performance was by using a 2.25" on ALL Naturally Asperated engines. I know that this isn't a 2.5L flat 4 boxer engine that is producing 165 hp and 167 torque from the factory, then add headers, intake, and port and polish and you will be ~200 crank hp. Slightly more than the 2.3L.
If you are going to go forced induction then go 2.5"
Just for some reference the WRX and the STi both run a 2.5" from the factory, in case you forgot...the STi is around a 300hp/300torque engine.
I'm just going with whatever FS comes out with. Based on how well their exhaust has held up in the Maine winters I dont think I'd trust anything else. A company that proves their products like that generally has me as a customer for a long time.I just dont know what to doI also plan on getting a header soon, but then my flex will end at 2.5" and thats no bueno.![Image]()
