Vortech discharge sizing Hey on my T Trim the outlet size is 2.75" if I was to ad a reduced pipe size to 2.5" diameter for about 12 " or so then back to 3" diameter would this affect performance of the blower? Only will be running 10 pounds. LS1. This is only because space is tight.

If it's a straight section, probably not.
But the OD of the discharge is quite a thick casting. So ID of that and your "other" 2.5" OD pipe might not be that different really anyway.
a 90 degree 2.75" OD bend would probably be more restrictive than the 2.5" ID straight pipe

Can you not blow over the top and forwards ? Or straight down then forwards as most do with that style ?
Either way, all those bends even in 2.75" will be more restrictive than a straight section at 2.5"
Although they will still be more than adequate I'm sure.
