Yes it will be fine.

Although once you switch youll notice its true potential.

 

i might get the muffler sooner then i thought, i called a local magnaflow dealer today, he said the 3 inch catback will cost me 220$, + the resonator, apparently they have a resonator that will quiet my 3" piping down to 94 decibals, legal limit is 95!

 

Because you make more power with smaller pulleys


Generally speaking if you have atleast a 2.8 or smaller with full supporting mods you will see gains with 3'' over 2.5''

 

The only thing i will be missing as far as bolt on goes is the H/E, light weight crank pully, And manifold

 

Go 3'' then

 

anything to back this up? i just don't see it requiring enough flow to do anything. 2.8 and a downpipe is not alot of mods. if he had a ported blower, nitrous, and a few other things i would say go 3'. but without that stuff, i just predict some lost velocity.

 

Just search around, I dont feel like digging it up, But yes it has been proven by many people

 

Get your blower ported by steigmier, a header along with a 2.7"-2.6" setup and then a 3" exhaust will be just fine! Then you will be moving enough air to really get to benefit from the exhaust! ...I wouldnt suggest it unless your really shooting for some bigger HP mods though.. a blower port,header and 2.6-2.7 IMO is a must.

 

I DO plan on pulleying down to a 2.7 this summer thow....So see i kinda wanna prepare for the furture....
