Hi,

What to know if there would be any performance loss with a 996sps using 45mm header pipes. Then a 50mm cross over pipe and 50mm exhaust cans?

I know that as standard, the 996sps comes with a 50mm system from end to end. I have read somewhere that with a standard 996 sps engine, it is slightly over piped on the headers any how. I was thinking that the 45mm headers may give it a little bit more feel etc, lower in the revs?

Any advice,views would be cool.

Being honest, I dont want to buy another exhaust cos Im being tight at the moment.

Ta,

DC.
