yeah in that case you should go with a 3" system if you're gonna push a lot of boost or compression w/ N20. But if i got a 200 shot i doubt going up to 3" will help me much at all

Just like everyone else is saying, replacing the catback system really isn't going to release too much power. The sound itself is worth the money though. On the other hand an O/R h or x-pipe will definitely get you a couple of ponies back. Just my 2 cents: If your doing catback, definitely look into Borla Stingers.

the macs sound good, im not really a fan of flows either, your best bet would be to go listen to diffrent clips and see what you like because people on here are just going to tell you what ever they have is the best

Performance? Not really.

Sound? Without a doubt yes.
+1

Pick your mufflers/catback for the sound you like, its not going to show much/any performance gain.
