Another Exhaust Thread... Need Advice... NISMO Header Pic Added
I've narrowed my choices down to two. One is trying to find a real NISMO exhaust, and the second is a total custom setup. Now, the NISMO one is straight forward if I can find one, but the custom setup I'm picturing is not. I'm looking to run a true dual. After looking at dozens of threads, here's what I've come up with:
All stainless pipe from the cats back to twin Borla Turbo mufflers with a X-pipe before them (read on here that it evens out the flow), all stainless from the mufflers back to the stock exhaust exit with some nice Borla tips. All 2.25" diameter pipe.
Ideally I'd like to run twin pipes straight out the back but I can't remove my spare tire just yet and I've read that in order to do this you have to ditch the spare.
NOTE: I've got a set of NISMO headers on their way and those need to factor into the equation along with the intake (K&N with AEM filter; not installed yet.)
Now, the problem I'm having is I just read where someone had too much flow with a similar setup and it hurt the drive-ability and overall performance of the truck. I'd like to stay away from tuning it at this point until I get everything together and can get down to UPREV (there's a dealer on Long Island.) So, to sum it all up, what, if any, are the concerns with running this setup? All advice welcome.
