The same amount of exhaust gas comes outta the head regardless of whether its an auto or manual.

Plus there's no such thing as 2.3 inch. Its 2.25 inch (standard FTO) or 2.5 inch (next size up.)

is there ant different between Brand name pipe and custom cut pipe from the shop? let say the same size piping

i am not talking about cat, muffer, but just the pipe

also if there no different in between, would it be better to just make custom pipe and buy the cat, muffer with good brand? first should save some money, second the performance is the same

the pipe makes no difference what so ever.

So yes i highly recommend buying the brand name parts you want and buying the pipe separetly

for the brand name part, do you think we can only buy the muffer from HK#, TOME#, TRUS#, because they only advertise the full exhaust system

I dont use Jap branded exhaust components, they're friggen expensive & they rust.

Plenty of good Aussie brands that will do the job just as well if not better. Catco, Herrod, Flowmaster, Walker, Lukey etc etc.
