Default true duel ?

just got my hookers and x pipe with 3 inch all the way out. my question is is the 3 inch too big? i hear about people having 2.5 and ive lost some power down low but gained a lot up top. is my motor breathing too much? i plan on doing heads in the near future so will this even things out? is 2.5 too small for a h/c car. i dont think ill change it back but just wondering what everyone else thinks.

There is no way it will hurt your motor you might loose some low end TQ that's all. I know guys with H/C and N20 running 2.5 pipe becasue they are lowered cars so they have clearence issues.

I have a 2.5" true duasl with x-pipe setup an i'm making good power 3 inch would have been to much ( no backpressure) I added tail to my setup for more back pressure an gained 11lbft of torque
