Dylan is right. A general rule of thumb for exhaust is don't bottle-neck it. If you're going to use 2.5" tubing then use a 2.5"+ muffler with a relatively non-restrictive flow.Woooord those look sexy mate.
I was going to get the entire exhaust replaced so i will do that. I want to get that Vibrant black stock looking muffler that thing is sweet.
He meant the pistons are tapered.The intake isnt tapered. I was going to get my guy to just make me one after i got my new TB so i will tell him to tapper it, i didnt kno it speeded up airflow, i actualy thought it tappered would be worst.
Also, you mentioned your friend making you an intake manifold (at least I think that's what you were talking about it wasn't too clear to me :lol. Those giant hand-made IM's that most people make are glorified metal boxes with tubes are not necessarily the most efficient for an all-motor build. On an FI car they work because you're simply aiming to dump as much air as possible into the motor. On an NA car, you're only using the motor's natural vacuum so you need to think of velocity and the vacuum of the motor.
Edelbrock, Skunk2, and Blox all make nice manifolds for the B18C1. The Edelbrock is the best in terms of pure volume. Your build seems aggressive enough to utilize it.
