Need help with downpipe
Im running a 76mm turbo and my exhaust outlet on the turbo is 3.5 inches but i want a run a 4 or 5 inch DP. Its just going to be a 90 degree dump so do i buy a 3.5" 90 bend and a 4 or 5 inch to 3.5 reducer? What are you guys using? Thanks

I have seen gains made by swapping out a 3-in. DP to a larger 3.5 and 4-in. DP. This is not to say that you can't run the numbers with a 3-in. as I have seen some do just that, but as I stated I have seen cars pick up power and ET by upping the DP size. It is a good rule of thumb to utilize as large a DP as reasonable, it is one of the few areas where most of the time bigger is better. Hope this helps.
