    Definitely 2.5", 3" is too big for dual.

    Yeah, I have 3" straight through. I don't know if it made a difference or not. My ETs are still pretty much the same.

    Are you doing LT's? Cats or not cats? True duals or Y? So many possibilities...

    2.5", need a little back pressure. 3" and you would kill the lower end.
