So now my build is consisted of
GTM stage 2 Twin Turbo(turn key)
GTM competition oil cooler
2.5 Test pipes
2.5 HKS exhaust

Every thing bought and paid for just waiting for it to get to my door so me and my buddy's can install it. So my HP goal is about the same as yours. I am looking for 500rwhp because I agree with you anything more for the street and random track visits is pure waste. Thanks again for the post and sharing your build since it had a huge influence on mine

No problem, Frank. Glad you could learn a bit and that I could help. I look forward to your thread with your final build and results!

No reason for 3" for 500whp on a DJ on the 3.7l motor. Actually, if you go with internal wastegates (which I did) you can have issue with boost creep/spikes on larger exhaust. I'm not sure if Frank went with external wastegates or not and would not have issue if so...but, he will still be fine with his goals on 2.5" exhaust. Maybe a little more wear on the compressors over time, but not much.

Now if you "massage" the downpipe(s) into 1" there may be issues.
