it is possible to do rather easily. not the best for flow and sort of defeats the purpose of going 3", but anyway i will explain what to do.

simply take the car to an exhaust shop, tell them you want a 3" system and to keep the stock muffler. they will be able to do it for you. if they can't, hop back in your car and drive to another exhaust shop with people who actually have a brain.

there are 2 ways in which they could do it. 1 is to simply have the new system join the old muffler through a flange setup and bolt the 3" flange to the 2.5" flange (they will match up, just not the best for flow), or they can remove the 2.5" flange and flare it out to 3" and put a new flange on.

either way you will probably need a custom 3" system as there are very few aftermarket 3" systems that use the exact same piping route as the stock system and would match up with the stock muffler.

Thanks for that. what do u think abt the back pressure of the car. how it going with peformance..?

thanks

I think you would have more back pressure if you filled your muffler with cement and let it dry.

back pressure isn't good with performance. if you want peak power and are going to drive around constantly above 5000rpm then you want a nice big exhaust (but not too big) that flows well. however if you are going to just putter around town at low revs then there is no need to have a massive big exhaust as it won't flow any better, and can even negatively effect the flow at low revs. it might be good in the higher revs, but if you are going to be doing most of your driving at low then you want an exhaust tuned for that rev range, which is what most factory headers are.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
