Output pipe size for MAK4...
Hey guys,
Just wanted to ask what the better size of pip for the output side of a GenX mak4 is.....3/4" or 1". ?? I know the actual output is 3/4" but is there any advantage to going to 1" right away? thanks

I ran 3/4 straight from the Mak4 up to my Magaflow return bulkhead.
About 11 1/2 feet and I have plenty of flow and no problems. Quite frankly I see no reason to go to 1" went the hole out of the velute is 3/4.

I use 1" in and out on mine. 1" will provide greater flow.
