when you say, get your engine ready, do you mean so it does not break? Cause and exhaust wont' do that. In fact, if you go with a 3 inch before boost, you will actually be hurting performance. But a good 2.5 inch, like the Dezod one, would be good, but it's really designed for a turbo system.
Oh, and happy birthday!

Theres also the ZPI 2.5 exhaust, and ZPI 3 inch exhaust. Both dont have any drastic bends like said company's.

Dude, you need to get over yourself quick. He asked what turbo exhaust were available and i was giving him another option. The world dose not revolve around what you like. Everyone should know whats available to them. Your one to speak about marketing.

According to you it's only ZPI. You gave him a chice of 2.5" and 3" exhausts that were from ZPI and... ZPI. I know..., I'll take.... the ZPI one!

He asked for good exhausts, I gave him two best exhausts imo. You on the other hand, well... you gave him two diameter choices of... ZPI. Also, it would not be for my amusement, it would be for him to make a better informed decision after researching the exhausts suggested. Why don't you also tell him he might get it after his turbo the way ZPI ships.

The best?

ARK is not a good TURBO exhaust IMO, and Dezods exhaust isnt the best FREE FLOWING IMO.

Now you have my opinion.

IMO, you should just go to a muffler shop and have them weld you a straight 2.5 inch pipe all the way back and save $300!!!

Kinda hard when most muffler shops will not have a mandrel bender. Its crush bent, and not the best for a turbo application. If you find a muffler shop with a mandrel bender, it would most likely cost you around 500 bucks for them to do it.

If the shop is able to make mandrel bends. If its crush bent, the bends will be a lot narrower than 2.5" at those points. You don't want to do that to a turbo exhaust, N/A, maybe.

Todd at Turbo Toyotas is coming out with a 3" exhaust that will have less bends. Not sure if he's working on a 2.5 as well.

If you want to save some money, go for TruBendz, its this local company they make any custom mandrel bend you want. They sell a lot of their stuff on ebay. They have a 2.5" s-pipe-back exhaust for the tc.

Did a search for trubendz on ebay. No hits.
Found their website, no mention of a Scion product.
Got a link?
