if i was to use a 1.8 or exhaust system on my m50 does anyone think it would restrict it much ? or would using a 320 system that has a single pipe into rear box ? need to sort new exhaust out on a budget and dont want twin exit thanks

A 318 exhaust is way to small I would say! If you went single you would need 2.5 inch diameter at leased

if there is any 2" pipe it's going to be held back.
