Forenza Exhaust Optra Exhaust Info UPDATED
Everyone has different taste. Some people like 2.5" some 2", others like polished and others do not care. In the group buy forum there is a new 2.0 EXHAUST THREAD WITH PRICES about who may be interested in general but in this thread I want information on what you have on your car that a local shop has done and what you like and do not like about it. Also your total cost from ordering mufflers/shipping ..what type of muffler it is, mandrel or crinkle, pipe size/material and what you ended up having in it when it was ALL SAID AND DONE (also let us know if you did the labor) Here is a pic of what I am leaning towards for at least myself. It would be a full cat back so the other pipe is not shown. Also there did not seem to be a big price difference in the numbers between 2 to 2.5" sizes so I had leaned towards 2.25".

Re: Forenza Exhaust Optra Exhaust Opinions
i have a 2L leganza. I got a 2' system with lukey mufflers put on for $280. It squash bent cause mandrel bent is a bit pricey. I was going to go 2.25 but the exhaust guys son has a 2L nubira and found that he had problems with the 2.25'. The only other problem i am aware of with big exhausts on small DOHC motors is that they go all raspy. There is one solution to the note problem that i want to try when i get the cash, and that is to run a 2' pipe into a 2.5' pipe increaser anto a 2.5' bullet (i think thats a lukey too) then to go a 2' pipe to the end.

I have a 2.5inch cat-back... crinkle bent. Some no name muffler.. id probably be just as good off without one.. it doesnt seam to have anything to reduce noise. Cost me only $180 for the whole thing. Its really loud though... over the few miles its quited down and got deeper though.
I have no complaints about it being to big.. In a few months im having the exhaust redo again (3rd time) and this time im going with mandrel bent.. and im not going w/ a muffler just a res. and the exhaust will stop before the back axel

I manufactured a 2.5" mandel bent stainless cat back exhaust for myself and I have a Magnaflow stainless muffler on the end.
It fit just fine as there is piles of room under the Optra.
I will say that it is fairly loud.... at first I had a flowmaster muffler on the car and it was so loud it made my ears go funny. ( felt disorientated )
The last time I had that sensation was when I pushed 144db at a local stereo competition.
The Magnaflow muffler was more money but it's way quieter and it has less restriction than the Flowmaster.
Needless to say it's still very raspy at certain RPM so I'd suggest smaller piping such as 2" for Naturally aspirated vehicles.
The only reason I went with 2.5" was due to the fact that I will be installing a turbo system very soon ( If Fed-Ex ever finds my turbo )
I don't have a resonator either.... the current system is probably 30lbs to 40lbs lighter than the stock system as the stock muffler and resonator are very heavy.
