Does anybody happen to know up to what power the 325 stock exhausts is good for?

Player6's 260bhp M20B28 uses a standard centre section i believe, standard exhausts are pretty good

Pretty sure he has BTB manifold tho......

From my experiance with stock and now 3 inch straight through, the stock exhaust is very restrictive for over 250bhp, my reason for saying that is before the upgrade I had backpressure issues which prevented spool till about 4k, now it'll show boost @ 2.5k.

I guess I'm chucking more air through mine than most but the effect the change has had is massive, the turbo's characteristics has changed and for the better too :D

There is plenty of room for a bigger pipe or two under the car, it's just the damn steering linkage that gets in the way.

HTH, Mark.
