    Depends on your mods... For all motor id say stay with 2.5', for forced induction 3' is the way to go

    you can make really good power, lower power, with 2.5" exhaust... altho, with 3" exhaust your going to make more/ better power threw out the whole power band expecially up in the 5500+ range

    I'm an idiot. I need to learn to read.
    Go big or go home with boost.

    Derek at Innovative Motorworks in Carlisle, PA. http://www.innovative-motorworks.com/ I am going to see him this weekend for a retune on the new setup. Regarding the exhaust- for a turbo car IMO a 3in is best for keeping your turbo breathing easy... you just have to determine if the added power is worth the ground clearance

    Don't dump your car on its nuts and you'll be fine.

    I have a 3" exhaust and I rarely scrape.

    I will vouch for innovative any day- Derek is super cool and knows his SHIT... as long as im still on the east coast- he will always be my tuner of choice.

    Not if your exhaust builder is any good. Mine is great
