f it. if you got the cash go bigger. if you can find 4" the whole way out.

"note" I did not look at his current specs. I am not saying running 20psi is warranted for his current build. just stating my opinion.

I found a 4" dp for like $350 and 4" cat-back for like $900 and for 3" dp was like $260 and 3" cat-back was like $700 so its not much more an it sound better IMO.

my goal is around 500hp-550hp for this summer

im sure there might be some minor things that take their tole by using a huge exhaust.. gass milliage or what have you. I THINK the only downfall would be back pressure. but that's for n/a's so nothing for turbo's to worry about.

well I been reading up on another Supra forum site 2day and they were saying will lose low-end TQ but will gain top-end HP and can run more boost due to the better flow and Turbos work better with less back pressure, back pressure is only needed for n/a cars

The only downside I could think off would be clearance; if you have lowered the car, 4" exhaust might bottom out easily. Just a thought.

yeah that sure is true mine is lowered and my 3in cat has a few scrapes on it already
