I have 2.5". I might switch to 3" since I'm spraying. If I decide to sell the 2.5" duals, let me know if you would be interested.

Getting over the rear end really is a bother with 3's, if you are using a cat the 2.5 will be able to carry the full flow the cat allows. If this was a racecar with no cats then i would inclined to advise 3 inch pipes ( they do look cool)

Agreed. 2.5" is plenty for 99% of the hot cars on this board.

Also take in to account, you will loose low end torque with 3" pipes.
