I'd stick with 2.5" piping with a Magnaflow metallic high flow cat (part no. 59956), long resonator and large straight through muffler, like something from Magnaflow or Vibrant.
a"lot of my research came off of some of your posts...but im going 2.5....do you think its gonna yield good performance gains compared to 2.75" or 3"
...I already ordered the parts....what you think???...Im s/c up
