LOL well let me shed some light on this

I had that exact set up. I had a guy make me a custom 3" system with cats and Flowmaster 1 chambers. The system dumped on the sides just in front of the rear tires.

That lasted 15 miles. I piece of tire on the highway at 5 am at 75 mph destroyed that for me.

If you are at 2" and had good luck, stick with it. If you really want 3" look at dumping it under the car or comprimise at 2.5 and go all teh way out the back.

IMO

You will be pushing it with a 3" system out the side of the car. You got a camaro throw on some dumps, it will look bad *** that way.
