If you don't need the flow of a larger intercooler piping system, don't get it. Basically, the larger the piping, the slower it will spool, as it has to pressurize a larger area. Granted, it will not be MUCH of a difference, but something to consider.

Here's mine...no clearance issues so far.
Ron, exhaust is a work of art..
heres mine
Damn, i was just making a suggestion. We have a few local guys running 4" aluminum exhaust. Here is a video of one of my buddies exhaust who has run this for over 2 years oh his car without any problems as well as my brother. There are a few under shots of his car in the video.

Plus the weight savings is pretty nice.
This exhaut was even rear ended by a drunk girl at tx2k7 =D

Not a "bad" idea as long as you are far enough back from the heat source.
That being said, how far is the "heat source"?
If you're running road & track race setup, the heat source extends from turbo to exhaust tip, plenty hot enough to melt that aluminum going down the back chute into turn 12.
If you're just horsing around town, the "heat source" may not be a factor just a few feet past the down pipe.

I know quite a few people running aluminum exhaust on their turbo Hondas. The downpipe on their setups is ususally SS or MS and they'll have the DP-back made from aluminum. Weight savings are great and as long as your exhaust doesnt get up to 1220*F you will be fine. Hench why steel is used for the downpipes.
That said..Most of these honda guys get the best flow for their turboed 1.6, 1.8, and 2.0 liter cars from a 3" exhaust. 2.5" has proven to only be good to around 400-450whp before it becomes a flow issue.The guys running 2.0 and 2.2 or just cars making 600+ will mostly use a 4" system. Hence why i believe a 4" exhaust would probably be a good exhaust for any kinda of turbocharged 6cly, 3.0liters and up.

jt2ma71..... how the hell did you get your car on ramps?
when i try to use my ramps they damage the front bumper. i dont have a front lip installed or any kind of body kit either.

how much room do you have between it and the ground?
My DP is finished and my muffler's on the way for my 4" system.

P.S. How much piping did you use, total? I need to order mine, as nobody carries it around here and need to know how much.
I haven't noticed anyone using flex sections in this thread. I've always been told to put a flex on an exhaust system. It helps take the shock away from the exhaust manifold if the exhaust comes into contact with the ground or something else. I use a 6'' long flex on my 4'' system.
most flex sections i've seen (if they have one) are in the downpipe.
but im sure it wouldnt hurt anything to have 2 flex sections in your exhaust sytem.
