If it's only a 4 cylinder, then 2 1/4 will be plenty... if it's a 6 cylinder, then go 2 1/2. Make sure to get mandrel bend at least, don't get crush bent stuff. If you don't go mandrel, it's not even worth it.

i cant really agree with that, i have 2.5 crush and the difference in power from my original exhaust was incredible.....and it was only 240 bucks......

even though im turbo dan, im just disagreeing with this statement...........cause the increase in throttle response, flow, and top end power was very nice........

Turbo's are a different world from NA. You can "tune" NA's just by redesigning the exhaust for more torque down low or more HP up high. Turbo's are basically the bigger the better, within reason.
