its only 2.5 inch but its still huge. that is the biggest you can bolt up to a t25. to go 3 inch a bigger turbo would be in order. its up from the saabs 2.25 inch system so should help and being so short there is not much restriction.

i thought the turbo and stupidly huge exhaust can would make it quieter than the old 1600 pinto but i can safely say its loud infact scary sounding loud. even my other half commented that it sounds a lot more powerful than the old one the you tube vid really doesn't get across the evil turbo burble.
