hi everyone
im am attempting to make my own exhaust system for my mk5 polo 1.4 8v and was wondering what would be the best size exhaust to use.
i plan to build from the cat back. and finish with a oval dtm style back box.
i was thinking 2in what do you reckon?

smaller the better imo
anything bigger and you run the risk of looking like a nova
