hey guys new to the forums and this car...

Post by injun_josh »

so i bought a 2003 vibe gt... it is a blast to drive. i have already recorded a 0-60 time of 7.34 seconds.. that suprised the hell out of me. anyhow loving my new car so far. i have already ordered a short ram intake, and a bomz header, and n1 style exhaust and gonna have my muffler shop turn it into a cat back. so any suggestions on size from the cat? anyhow here's some pics of the car.

welcome. not sure on what size pipes on the exhaust, but i'm guessing 2.5 - 3" most likely. someone w/ more exhaust experience can chime in if i'm wrong. first thing's first. LOSE the wheel gap! otherwise, enjoy the new ride. great car.. makes me miss mine sometimes, especially when i have a lot of crap to haul!

Welcome! 2.5 inch is probably the biggest diameter piping you want to use. Unless you add forced induction, you would actually start to lose low end torque by adding larger exhaust.
