Since, this is my first post and I just recently joined, let me introduce myself.
My name is Justin and I drive a 2001 Civic EX (em2) with a k20a2 swap and boosted. You can also find me on 7thgen/k-series/and clubrsx. Now to my question.
I am putting the k20a2 and turbo back into my car; now that my paint job is finished, I need your opinion on the exhuast. I have this rare opportunity of gettting an Amuse Titanium Exhaust system, only weighs 12.9 LBS imported from Japan for only $1100, $800 off normal price. The only bad thing is the piping diameter is 2.5". I am running a high compression/low boost set up since I enjoy road racing. ... read as torquey, light, strong, badass, NOT loud, big and max whp. Since, I road race, the weight I save will help me a lot when accelerating out of the corners, its light and that means a lot on a track, plus the smaller diameter should help with torque even on a turbo setup.
This is the reason why I am interested in the exhuast system. But, I don't want to lighten my car while sacrificing to much power. Engine wise, I have power enterprise injectors, FMC and K-Pro and will be boosting around 7psi on average.
Should I jump on this oportunity for a titanium exhaust system due to the extreme light weight, or just use my current 3" exhaust system? Will the 2.5" diameter piping cause to much back pressure for my setup or do you think the loss in power will be minimal?
Also, when I put the engine back, in I will finally be dyno tuning it. Any "Tuner Gods" out there near Palmdale/Lancaster, CA who can help?
Thanks
