I agree with this, if possible go with piping that has mandrel bends. To the original poster of this topic, I know you did some searching, but you probably overlooked this thread. http://www.toyota-supra.info/forums/...ead.php?t=3113 I'll just quote my post from it (topic on headers for 7M-GE).

(RPM x Motor Size)/554,177 = Recommended diameter.

(7,000 x 183.07)/554,177 = 2.31"

I have to disagree with this. NA's do not need back pressure, conversely though, going too big (on an NA) is also bad. The ideal piping size helps with exhaust velocity and efficiency, thereby increasing overall HP. Go too big and you lose that velocity. I recommend you use a universal "straight-through" muffler with at least a 2.5" inlet. Hope this helps.
