IMHO any gains would be negligible to the amount of work it takes to position and bolt them into place. That's 1 pipe I hope to never need to take off again.

I agree. I know how difficult and how little clearance there is with a 2.5" overpipe, so I definitely don't plan to swap to a 3".

3" is a tight fit, but one I feel is worth it. I have not done any testing v/s 2.5" on this car but from experience on other boosted 4 cylinders it made a difference. For those running lower power I would not expect huge gains. For those making full use of e85 or alcohol / meth injection I would expect to see good gains. We will be making a 3" down pipe back exhaust with single exit when our fa20club kit shows for my customer.

It wasn't hard with the trans already out.

I have the Ultimate Racing 2.75" and it looks like there is still room around it. I wish now I would have found a 3".

I am sure FA20Club knows this, but to anyone who doesn't: The best way to do a 3" overpipe is to cut/modify or replace the front pipe too. I don't know why but the front pipe front flange points to the right of the car for no reason. It's puts more bends in the up pipe than necessary. I think 3" would be virtually impossible or too many bends to be very beneficial without also modifying the front pipe. I think that is what Andy means when he says "it's a full combo."

To all of you that have the kit, how's the heat in the engine bay and is it going to effect the belts and hoses around it

CajunFRS · 09-24-2013, 12:46 PM

FA20Club have any plans to sell a kit minus all the Ecutek goods?

On their website you can choose to buy just the tune.

CajunFRS · 09-24-2013, 01:16 PM

Its a ecutek tune. Minus Ecutek means I don't want locked maps or software on my car. I won't go FI till other tunning is available which it will be soon.

FA20Club.com · 09-24-2013, 06:29 PM

ecutek pieces have always been optional.

CajunFRS · 09-25-2013, 09:43 AM

My mistake I assumed it was like the avo kit and came with a base map.

How did you get the 3" through the overpipe section must be damn tight; got any pics of it installed at all?
