From a pure flow outlook, the exhaust that's on your car now would have to be significantly more restrictive...think more than stock exhaust...to have any real negative effects.

Not saying your car is not running less than it was before, but I just can't see an exhaust doing causing all that trouble.

BTW, what other mods do you have on your car?

How many miles are on the odo?
Are there any exhaust or intake leaks?
Are you sure?

so bryan, enjoy

the rest of you. dont talk **** when you dont know whats going on
I think its rather easy to see whats going on.. its not very complicated.

take Paul on his offer and you will know exactly what the cause of the issue is, not guess it was something you swapped out.

Hey, look what I FOUND!

http://www.blitz-uk.co.uk/ProductItem-134.aspx

http://www.blitz-uk.co.uk/ProductItem-102.aspx

I know these are the Euro exhausts, but should be the same exact thing for the Japanese and US market.

They're both 80mm bore (~3.15inches)
And both 114.3 exhaust tips (4.5inches)

Hmmmmm, HIGHER flow eh? Something does not compute, did you divide by zero some how?

I would believe its just a difference with the amount of packing and the baffle internally, I don't think it can affect flowrate that much.

I doubt the baffle would affect it that much. By the time it got to the baffle, the exhaust gases have traveled quite a bit and a foot of baffle, imo, wouldn't cause any type of hesitation or blockage of flow. But then again, I'm not a tuner So, that's just how I feel about it.

Maybe a tuner should chime in on this.
