My specs are in my sig. This is what I have in my car right now, is it to restrictive, and if it is what do you guys recommend that would give me a good deep rumble sound, but not to loud. Its still a street car.

A 3" exhaust system will work, but your going to loose some HP due to that exhaust system. A 3 1/2" exhaust system would be ideal for your combo.

If your worried about noise. Your building the wrong thing. To have a good 450+ HP you need to be able to hear the motor. It has to breath to make power!

you dont need to hear the motor...Magnaflow flows pretty well and it is one of the mellowest ones out there. I do agree that 3.5 would be ideal.. for his and my application but running out of fundage sucks! I am thinking of doing a true dual with the 2.5" Dynomax Intermediate pipes.
