Because it's a turbo diesel. No exhaust is best - a really big exhaust is
a compromise... :) Diesels don't reqquire backpressure the way gas
motors do, as they're always running at full throttle - and turbo diesels
really benefit from low exhaust restrictions as it helps the turbo spool
faster and lower EGT's.
2.5" is likely a bit overkill, but it was actually cheaper to get the 2.5"
stainless piece than the 2.25" aluminized piece (which includes a
resonator.)
I conisdered running a fat stack out from the passenger's fender or
something, but in the end I figured I'd have to put a gun rack in the back
window to complete the install.
