Default Are 2 1/2 inch duals enough ?

Is the 2 1/2 inch piping for a dual exhaust enough for up to 500 HP ? I think 3 would be too much. Not enough motor for that. What do you guys think ?

3" off of headers, into an X, and out at 2.5" is enough for plenty of horsepower. That's what I am getting put on next week from LS1speed I think they said something about using that setup on a shop car that made some ungodly high hp like at least 5-600 rwhp so it should be just fine, and sound awsome

You're saying you made more power with just a 3 inch catback than the true duals ?
