Are you talking about the actual exhaust or just the tips because you don want 3in exhaust on a basically stock mustang, it could make it run bad because you will virtually have no backpressure. I run a 3in off road x-pipe but i havea need for it.

I guess i am confused. Do you mean you want to run 3 in pipes after the flowmasters. If that is the case that will no be a problem. I was assuming you had after market exhaust like headers, x or y pipe and you wanted to run a 3 in. x or y after the headers.
