Mi 16 exhaust

[Chrisstdt 1]

Looking at exhausts for my recently acquired mi16

Currently has a standard 1.6 system which is in a bad way and seller said he always felt it held the car back

 

Can anyone recommend a manifold back system that doesn't cost the earth ? 

 

Do I need 2.5 or 3 inch bore or will standard be ok ?

if its a standard Mi16 then the later 2 piece standard gti system would be more than sufficient, you only need to increase the bore size as you stray past 200 bhp and even then 2.25 would be a decent flow,   too big and you are just adding weight, cost, and effectively stalling the exhaust gases  from going too large.

Thanks for the reply,do I can just use a standard 2 piece 1.9 system ?

The oem 1.9L Mi16 exhaust looked like 2.25”, but it was double skinned to reduce noise and thus effectively 2”.
