Stock Exhaust Size?

[96Mystique]

1996 Mercury Mystique 2.0 Zetec.

What is stock exhaust size? If you don't know, don't post unless there is a definite answer.

[striker2]

its either 1.75" or 2"

BTW if you would have searched this was answered only a few weeks ago.

You did not answer with a definite answer. It is 1.75" I looked at that thread, but all I saw was 1.75" - 2", so I wasn't sure if there was a definite answer there either. I actually read it through this time though...

[striker2]

It's too restrictive either way. needs to be opened up to either 2.25" or 2.5" (owners preference) so who cares what size it is from the factory:shrug:

Wow, you suck Dan. Remind me never to have you build me a turbo'ed Zetec or anything. ;)

lol, hilarious pic. btw, i have a question about expanding to 2 1/4" piping. would it do any good to expand the piping from cat back? or would i need to go from the manifold on back to notice any difference?

you will notice a bigger gain with manifold back as you dont have the Cat to slow things down however you will still notice a gain with only a Cat-back

replace as much as possible is the bottom line, that's what i think. :laugh:

you mean removing the catyllitic converter all together? don't think i could do that, as i'd have to reverse it when emissions time comes around again.

ok in that case you would still notice better gains with doing a manifold back exhaust and installing a highflow cat than just a cat-back
