Default Smaller Exhuast tips, do they hurt performance?

If I have a 3 inch catback, and put on 2.5 inlet exhaust tips, will my performance suffer any?

I'm looking at the fasttoys dual outlet tips for my TA.

Thanks guys,

Derek

If they do, it won't even show up on the dyno. I highly doubt you will lose power on a car that already has a muffler.

No they wont. The single 3" I-pipe is more restricive than the two 2.5 tail-pipes.
