Default Exhaust Question..

What's the biggest size pipes I can use? Would there still be plenty of down low power should I go with a large pipe setup? Opinions on how this would sound?

i would not go past 3" pipe since you would lose power because of the back pressure or no back pressure. stay around 2.25" to 2.5"

2.5" unless your making serious power.

My system is full 2.5 and o/r without a chamberd muffler and I feel a huge difference down low but it picks up quicker on the topend also an x pipe will drop your lowend torque so I would deff say nothing bigger then 2.5
