im getting my exhaust redone, getting rid of the crapped out catalytic
convertor and want to know if I should go for a 2 1/3" exhaust or 2 1/2?

Still haven't got that damned sub in the car yet but will be putting in the
new speakers and head unit this weeked, hopefully.

Scott,

I'm no expert, but I've seen suggestions that 2.5" is too big for a 1.6 but
the right size for 1.8

The 1.6 wants 2.25 apparently...

Generally, too small an exhaust will restrict top-end breathing, and too large
will reduce low-mid torque...

Fletch.

yea I went with the 2.25 in the end and it sounds sweet, has noticable better
preformance and no power sucking cat.

Wayne @ Avery Ford in Wellington, great guy, if u need something done I'd
reccomend him without hesitation.
