3 Inch exhaust on 13BT

Postby Lars » Fri Jan 01, 2016 10:54 pm

Hi guys, I'm wanting to fit a new exhaust to my 13BT and have been debating on how big I should go. Tossing up between 2.5 inch or 3 inch.

Can never go wrong knowing what the exhaust temps are. Pre turbo is best.

Any problems?
Any gain in power?
How noisy is it?

Had a 3" turbo back on mine, dumped out behind drivers door. Sounded like a tractor, 2.5" be plenty Id say
