3in duals vs 3 1/2in
Going with a dual setup... using no mufflers and no cats.
My headers have 3 1/2 inch primaries and i plan to run 3 1/2in piping into the X and then dump it right after.
This is going on a car that makes roughly 800whp. I read that 3inch duals can only support rougly around 800-900whp, is this true?
I want maximum gains out of this. I have not seen a picture of 3 1/2 duals before.. but my floorboards have already been clearanced.

^^^ WTF? ^^^
This car has 3.5" duals on it.

Might just want to get some 3.5" bullets and clamp them onto the collectors with a turndown.

You need about 2.2 cfm and 20.3" of water per HP for max efficency. Pipes flow about 115 cfm per square inch across (a 3" pipe is about 7 in^2 -- 1.5^2 * 3.14).
3" dual
Max HP = pipe radius^2 * 3.14 * number of pipes * 115 / 2.2
738 HP = 1.5^2 * 3.14 * 2 * 115 / 2.2
3.5" dual
1005 HP = 1.75^2 * 3.14 * 2 * 115 / 2.2
Your call

I wish I had this problem.
