i think if your not gonna be doing a tvs or turbo swap.. 2.5 will do just fine all the way through.

ZZP recommends 1 3/4 primaries for supercharged applications, i was just going
off of that.. You still think they would be too large??

and Nah i dont plan on a blower or turbo swap.

clear image suggested the 3"dp with the 1.75... thats what i was basing it from..

it could be becasue i was planning on going 3" cat-back in the future... I would get the 1.75" primaries no matter what.

haha.. if your keeping your cat the sound will be better...

take your car to a local muffler shop, i paid 65 dollars for A resonator AND the welding of it... that takes out ALOT of raspyness..

haha.. yes cat = catalytic converter...

resonator is kinda straight through muffler in a sense, but not the same as a muffler...

it burns off excess gases and such like a cat, but using a much different method, is not quite a cat either.....

eh i run 3--->2.25 and it is not dangerous as far as my EGT guage reads. The biggest bottlenecks with flow are the cat+dp and the muffler on a stock system. Keep in mind you will lose low end opening it up too much. Many people i know go back to STOCK because they lost so much torque and low end power.

btw im almost 300 hp with the stock blower.
