I'm proof positive you do NOT have to go for a 3" diameter exhaust to get results. In fact, there may be something in my recipe that bears understanding.

You may theorize all day long, but I have a completely full weight heavy G37 and it has proven itself with smaller 2.5" pipes. Anomaly or formula?

I will take Coop's experience over someone else's 'theory' any day of the week!
I'm not trying to go larger than dual 2.5". The issue is, my exhaust drops to a 2.75" single pipe. That's about 40% larger than what I have now.
