Judging by the amount of "extra" exhaust produced by force induced Contours, I think this new Bosal cat-back system is best suited for it. All mandrel bent pipes, 2.5" before the split, 2.25" after the split, 304 S/S, chrome plated, and straight-through mufflers/resonator. This is exactly the cat-back I was going to have custom made for me, and now it comes in a bolt-on package (not slip fit/crimp).

And, considering the reputation they have for VW, BMW, Honda, etc. I feel even more comfortable getting it. Not to mention we have a rep from the company roaming around these boards (Bandit).

For those of you that just happen to be running stock exhaust with the Vortech, I would jump on the group buy. $500 shipped directly from the manufacturer isn't bad. One has my name on it, for sure.

Of course, this is just my honest opinion.

Brullen has the same thing. I think Brullen is better because you can choose different options like resonator/tips/mufflers.

I definitely disagree with you!

It's much too small for forced induction or 3L engines.

2.5" O.D. single piping is just not large enough.

Now this would make a decent setup for any NA 2.5L not going true duals.

Provided of course all the mufflers are straight through??? (couldn't find that info)

I would say 2.5" is large enough for any N/A setup seen here, be it 2.5 or 3.0L. But like you said, I'd prolly go 3" on a forced induction setup.

So, would you say 3.5" for a TC3L?

I disagree (again )

2.5" piping only has ~75% of the flow diameter of 2" true duals!

Plus being the fact it is one large tube the exhaust velocity is slower then the smaller yet higher volume flowing dual pipes. (being as the exhaust comes in pulses, not total volume)

Jump to 3" piping to slightly surpass (+10%) the flow volume of 2" duals and your velocity suffers further.

Okay that was more of a bash on Y-pipes, but it still proved my point.

But it's all the same
