quick exhaust advice needed
Would putting 2 1/4 outlet pipes on my muffler with 2 1/2 outs cause me to lose power? IM asking this because i dont have access to a welder and it would be about the only way to get my exhaust to finally stop haning down and falling off all of the time.

I'd say that'* a big yes. Factory exhaust is 2.25 outlets.
Combined area on 2.25" outlets is 8 inches square. Dropping to 2" outlets takes you to 6.28 square inches. That'* a significant volume loss.

unfortuanetly i have to work with what i have. right now i dont know how to weld yet, and all my tools are up at the shop. But im so sick and tired of having a crappy exhaust system that at this point ill do anything to get it done. I think you read the post before i edited it, willwren, im going down from 2.5 to 2.25, which is what most people run anyway right?

Ok guys thanx for the advice. I give up for today, i would rather wait until i have a few more tools around to fisnish this up, i did however fix the connection at the cat. converter, the damned thing was almsot completely out of the u-bend, so it would buzz. It sounded like a dodge neon and a comaro all at once. Ill probly take to work on saturday and just have someone teach me how to weld and leave the equipment on there
