It's 2.5, a little back pressure is good

I highly recommend the Whiteline Differential Bushing Inserts: http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/whit...nsert-846.html

You will probably start to feel that soft rubber bushing allowing lots of diff movement powering out of corners and shifting gears, especially after all that other bracing and stiffeners. The Whiteline insert bushings clean up the slop and they are very easy to install. They give you a more direct feel of the rear axle and instant power to the ground.

That's the stock midpipe, which starts out at 2 1/4". About 3-4 inches in, it is crushed down to 2 1/8", but widens out to 2 9/16" this lasts for about 3", then it is back to 2 1/4" into the resonator. From the resonator to the flange on the muffler, it is 2 1/8" except for one bend where it is crushed down to 1 3/4" X 2 3/8" wide. After the flange, the pipe going into the muffler is 2 5/16". What a miss-mash of sizes...

You will probably start to feel that soft rubber bushing allowing lots of diff movement powering out of corners and changing gears, especially after all that other bracing and stiffeners. The Whiteline inserts clean that all up and they are very easy to install.

Thanks - we have the whiteline replacement bushings for the diff and subframe, just haven't pulled the entire rear assembly out yet And actually, whiteline hooked us up with the inserts, we just haven't installed them - should be happening this weekend.

Correct about the exhaust, although we have a JDL headers, into our 2.5 Berk Technology front pipe, stock midpipe, and then back to the Berk muffler/resonator delete.

The car is definitely stiffer. We did not have the control arms or toe arms on for our last race, so I cannot give you an update on the yet. But I am very experienced with GTSpec's products (on other vehicles) and I have never been let down. Our race set up alignments will be much easier now as well!
