I'm thinking of buying Stinger-Performance full exhaust set-up from the manifold back (mine is finally unrepairable)on my '88 Turbocoupe 5sp. Just have a few (heh) questions.
1. Which is better 3" or 2.5" (oh, btw mines duals)
2. Has anyone every bought this from Stinger-Performance (are they good?)
3. I'm not a welder, but could I install this exhaust at the house?
I bought the Stinger 3" and, Frankly, I had issues with its fit and consequently ended up having a custom system made. Others have had few problems and seem quite happy. As they say, your mileage may vary!
I believe the place I had make my stainless system digitized it and so may be able to sell it as a kit. I could, however, be incorrect in this.

If you want the looks get the duals, if you want lighter weight and possibly better flow get the single 3". If you go single I recommend drivers side outlet. I think theres less in the way on that side. I have the passenger side 3" and its tricky at times. The tailpipes I think is where people have the problems.
I've run a Stinger 3", and I didn't particularly like the fit. I had an exhaust guy tuck it up.
I did the Stinger 3" to 2 1/2" duals with magnaflow lers. AWESOME!
duals are kinda stupid for a turbo car. Not useless, but if its already y-piped or single piped, I would stick with a single outlet IMO.
Just makes it or follows the original turbocoupe design.
The Stinger kit fit well with no problems. The problems were the Mustang cat back that I did with a Magnaflow system. I had to extend the tail pipes with 3" chrome tips and had to modifiy the metal box like thing close to the fuel tank with a BFH to get the pipe to fit on the pass side. But I did it all at work with no problems. But I see now that Stinger has tailpipes for the thunderbird now. I just don't see any hangers at all.
