I know that there are countless threads regarding exhaust and headers, believe me , I have read them all.
The truth is that I am more confused after reading them since the majority of the threads are related to modified E9 with 3.5 engines.
I own a 72 3.0 CSi with a 5 speed getrag transmission, stock headers and exhaust. The exhaust has some exterior rust, but nothing bad.
I would love some advice from the community.The idea is to keep the engine stock.
-Will the change of headers and exhaust gave me any gain in either power or torque. Is it worth it ?
-I have seeing exhaust and headers options going to 3". Will this make any difference with a stock engine?
-Would you recommend to keep the original exhaust, delete the small resonator, clean it and ceramic coat it ?
-If I'm just looking for a louder exhaust without caring on the gains, what will be the best combo?
-Can you please confirm that removing the small resonator on stock exhaust means to cut it?
-Is there any weight savings on changing the stock exhaust to a stainless steel aftermarket one?
-If new exhaust and headers are a good option, witch combo you would recommend?
I hope these questions will help any future searches on stock engine, exhaust and headers. Please feel free to add any more info.
