although, its really the mandrel bends that lead to increases, but theres not much to be gained on our cars with exhaust, unless you have fi.

on the 2.3 at the resonator the diameter is about 1.25 inches... and 1.5 I believe throughout.... 3.0 probably 2.0 inches.

2.25 is all you need with the cl...

a 3 in diameter pipe can flow enough air for 900 hp... so unless you are making that much, its not only pointless but it will cause turbulence and the gasses will not exit as quickly, which is what were aiming for.
