he probably should have gotten at least 3.73 gears instead of the 3.55's but oh well. theres alot he could do next. Does he want alot of power? Save for a blower. does he want some cheap power? throw on a NX kit. does he just want more bolt-ons? LT headers...underdrive pullies (unless he does plan to s/c)...TB/ plenum....it all depends on what he wants to do.

Yes, you should only use 3inch exhuast if you have450hp or more , below that u will loose some power. With the mods he has he should have gotten 2 1/2 inch

I would bet money that it is 2.5" exhaust but the tips are 3 inches.
