Exhaust for 7mg(t)e

Correct on the header issue. You could use 3" everything back. You just will loose some torque on the launch, but can gain some high end. But I would not be reving past 6500rpm anyway.

For me, mostly around town, I like the torque on the bottom. Quicker 0-60.

If you do put a header on now, you could always sell it here after you do the turbo swap.

Cat conv does give you some (?) back pressure for the n/a.

If it were me....I would go 3" with a 3 chamber magnaflow muffler to get some back pressure. It would be plenty of sound, and I've read of others with turbos use it just fine.

ohk. so get the headers now, sell them later. I can do that. I'll just keep them as clean as possible over the span.


Then get a high flow cat, 3" custom exhaust to a 3" magnaflow muffler? Sounds like a plan. This summer its paint job/body work... and manual conversion... then next summer i plan on doing the swap. I'll have to suffer threw low end loss for the time being. it'll be worth it in the end financially.

Thanks fellas. I think that's it?

get a 3" cat back with a 6"muffler for a high flow.... thats what i use on my mk2 turbo.
