The single 3" is on it's limits but should handle it.

You can either go dual 2.5" (3" is unnecessary imo) or go single 4".

3" should be fine but where you're going to lose is the crossover/stock style catback. A cutout should remedy this problem if you plan on keeping that setup.

depends on the OPTI

kidding, 3" catback is fine dude, stepped headers would be great, average longtubes would be wonderful, duals would be about as good as 3" catback in that rwhp range.

I still don't think you can hit 400-450 at the wheels with a chambered muffler. I'd say I'd barely hit 400 at the wheels and I'm running Hooker LT's with a straight through Borla XR1.
