Default question. is my fujitsubo titanium exhaust holding the turbo back

hi guys. my spec c blob has a 3inch fujitsubo titanium exhaust reducing to 2.5 inch through 2 cans and a rear muffler. turbo is an mdx321t+. 3 inch dump no pre or post cats. 1000cc inj 340 fuel pump. std spec c ej207?. thoughts.
thinking of going bigger but I like this exhaust. car currently makes 380bhp@4500rpm @1.4bar

Really don’t think that exhaust would hold it back. I run 430 on a 2.5 inch.
Need some more boost to wake that turbo up.

FMIC & induction change will definitely see it over 400.

RCM fitted to mine. Tight with space though had to put a curve pipe on the inlet. still slightly touch’s the abs block and the bonnet but that’s the FMIC fault.


Do you have a dyno graph?

I'm using a fujistubo Gikken on a 2.l currently making 392. I've fitted a 3" all the way to flange downpipe and had the 2.5" section of the exhaust cut off and a 3" flange welded on. Hayward & Scott supplied the downpipe and welded the 3" flange.
Previous to this the car struggled to make 377, I also opened up the factory exhaust headers. sti ra gc8. The mapper said the 565cc injectors are holding it up or else it would have broke the 400 pub talk bench mark. impreza gc8 fujitsubo gikken 3"

The car is heavily modified running a mdx billet ball bearing 312h turbo so it spools really well without much encouragement. If the exhaust has 2.5 flange the down pipe must have the same.
