So, i have the 2.0 Zetec, with the FS race header, flex, an intake, and the FS tune. My exhaust is a 2.25 HKS cat back. I get good power from everything i've done. But im trading a guy my HKS for his borla, which is 2.5. I just want to know how that'll work. Will i loose power? gain? be the same?
Let me know guys.
Thanks
Chris

You could possibly gain a little power, but nothing noticeable. But I can guarantee you you'll gain the better sounding borla []

i guess that you would put on more horsey but not lose

i got a borla with a extra res, sonds nice!

Alright sounds good. What about sound? Will it be louder or quieter? And I don't want rice!!!

you def wont get rice!!! but you may lose a little off the line torque

Borla is deep and throaty. You are going to love the new sound.

I just put the 2.5" Borla on my car, and it's actually fairly quiet. It's loud enough so you can hear it a little bit in the cabin of the car, but it's not annoyingly loud. You'll like it.

This man is correct. A good rule of thumb for exhaust: As the diameter increases, torque is lost and horsepower is gaines.

Very good. So even though the borla has only one resonator, and i am running a header. NO RICE. For sure???

its gonna be loud without a cat. but it should be a good loud.

it definitely sounds good w/o a cat!!!
