What`s my exhaust?

Post by Graeme Shaw »

Hi Guys,

Right, i have always thought my exhaust was an `Apexi` GT spec.
As from pictures i have seen and other cars it looks identical.

However on a recent trip to powerflow, it seems that only the back box is stainless as is the down pipe, the piece in between is mild steel.
The guy also said that the exhaust was 3 inch.

Could the exhaust still be a n Apexi?, as i thought these were full stainless systems. And i m unsure of the bore.

What is the standard size of exhaust on a turbo? (J.J)?

Also powerflow now do 3" systms which are looking a good option?!

Certainly not standard front pipe graeme - performance exhaust not often fully stainless either... I know the HKS hyper is only stainless back box and the rest is treated mild steel.

Itching for more noise graeme ??? :shock: :D

Is 3" standard bore on the turbo?
