2.5 or 3 inch exhaust from the cat back? After the 3 inch hogan down pipe, what diameter are you guys running 3 or 2.5 inch? I was thinking of running 3 inch into a 2.5 y, then 2.5 inch mufflers and 2.5 out to the tips. But if you guys are going with 2.5 inch all the way back maybe I'll go that route instead. I know bigger isn't always better exhaust-wise. Just curious to see what all you guys are running. Planning on doing some custom exhaust soon. Come on tax rebate check!

I'm considering doing a custom exhaust as well since it would be cheaper than a Magnaflow catback which is what I originally wanted. Yes, 3" will hurt low-end somewhat, but moving the powerband higher is exactly what this car needs IMO.

2.5. When the headers come out for these cars and the other bolt ones, you are not going to notice a difference.
I honestly hate my magnaflow system. I am going to call SLP about the loudmouth kit from the 00-05 Monte and see if it will really fit or not. If it does, Im going with that.
