Default Louder? Need help from you experts.

I have a upr x pipe with is either 2.25 or 2.5 the. The piping behind that (cat back ) is 2.25..if I was to get 3 inch piping for the catback not the x pipe that stays the same but

Make the rest 3inch would that make my car louder? And more aggressive?

Thanks

Ps vid coming soon on my new exhaust

Yes stock manifolds ..I have upr off road x with pypes m80s I just changed it to that not sure if I like it...I was thinking of going back to my super 44s but with 3 inch to make it louder and more aggressive.

Whatcha think?

3 inch would probably make it like a deeper tone. If you want more volume, id check out a set of good long tubes..better flowing exhaust equals hp, tq, plus a better throaty sound. M80s should sound good, but if not loud enough, check out some Borla's. Either borlas stingers or ATAK systems

exactly why i asked. Thats what im thinking because if he's already running o/r X, then the LT's will give OP a great and louder sound

Shouldn't go 3 inch piping unless your pushing some serious horsepower. I wouldn't go higher then 2.5 inches
