Which size shoudl I go for?

2.25" or 2.5"? Will the smaller help with torque, I'm looking for a good balance, and something better than the POS manifold-cat pipe (downpipe).

I've decided on 2.5" pipes cat back, and a muffler form a SLP GrandPrix kit, from the back it looks like a polished stainless steel version of a 95ish GASE muffler, but sounds and performs much better.

I'm also deciding between mandrel and regular bends, I figure with 2.5" if the cheepie bends arent done by an idiot it should be ok, it's only 207c.i.

If you go 2.5" manifold back with pressure bent (NOT crush bent) pipe, then you should be good. Mandrel bent really won't help any more.

pressure bend is where the radius is just reduced a little, crush is where it's all bumpy and crap on the inside radius, and we all know mandrel is constant diameter, right?
