I am planning to do exhaust as my first major mod. My plans are stainless works 3in collectors, and tsp true duals. This will be an all 3inch setup. Is this exhaust too big for my relatively stock setup. I plan to modify more in the future, but this will be it for awhile, besides maybe a tune. Any opinioins are greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Nathan

I switched to the 3 inch duals over my borla set. I took it to the track and gained like 1mph and it was 30lbs lighter than the borla, After awhile i got tired of the drone and switched back. As soon as i got the borla back on i went down the road and smacked it and could tell it didnt have the same power as the duals. With the duals i could smack it in 2nd gear and spin all over the road with street tires. It never has done it since. So i think it will be fine, oh im going back to the duals. Im just going to try a different muffler this time.
