The mufflers are the achilles heel in your case.If you replace the centre muffler with straight through pipes I'm pretty sure it will flow better than a single 3" catback system.If this is not the case, glad to be proven wrong though.

Its just that my standard muffler is abit bent after a little mistake :$ and was wondering about a new 3" one pretty good excuse I throught. But if it won't improve flow abit I don't think I'll bother and just straighten my standard one out, and also how much better does a 3" sound?

Anywho - the 3" exhaust is basically the same flow area as the stock exhaust, so you won't lose any power, but its not going to give you much either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
