Just Recently Put In A 2 And A Half Pipe

ALL OF A SUDDEN IM LOSING THE BACK END TORQUE...ANY QUICK MODIFICATION SO THAT I COULD GAIN THIS TORQUE BACK BESIDES REVERTING BACK TO A 2" PIPE...ENGINE IS STILL THE STOCK SOHC FROM THE 91 SI WHICH IS THE D16AZ I BELIEVE

gotta revert back to 2" piping if you wanna get the back pressure back, not to mention that your car probably sounds like shit with the larger piping.

what do you mean by back-end?? My SOHC d15b2 got stronger at anything above 5K with my 2.25" pipe and turbo muffler.

And it only has 92 HP to start with. I love my sleeper exhaust. Just need that damn ZC in there

no back pressure = torque at higher rpm.

all the ideas about backpressure really depend on each individual situation.

2 1/4" pipe seems ideal for a mildy modified engine. If you are getting crush bent piping, i would suggest 2 1/4" on the straight, and where it starts bending, go to 2.5" as the crush bends tend to restrict the pipe.
