the engine is a bridged s5 motor, and the piping is going to have to be a single exit one (no y-pipe for two mufflers) im looking for a good mix between not losing so much power and not having my ears bleed. also what size diamater should i use? the car also has a racing beat road/race header.

we've always had good luck using the RB turbo back pre silencer, its 3" straight thru, QUIET, and its available just as a muffler now, for like $90.
on a turbo FC you use that, and anything you want in the rear and its streetable
the other "good" setup, since you're na, is to run a dual outlet header, to 2 2"-2.5" glasspacks, the longer the better, like 40" long. into a collector, and a single 3" straight thru muffler.
the key for power is to have it straight thru

a friend of mine had 2x2.5" pipes, into 2 loooooong glass packs, into 2 turbo mufflers on his full bridge and it was pretty quiet

how do you think it would be with one 30" glasspack and one muffler?
ok. plan b to that would be to get 2 RB 2.5" presilencers and a turbo muffler, that works really well
