By "matching the down pipes to the exhaust" you mean matching the down pipes to the cats/TPs, right? I understand that after that there's still the X-pipe (true dual) or Y-pipe (single), after which comes the mid-pipe, ect.
I see many (catback) exhaust sold, starting from he mid-pipe onwards. That leaves the choice of X-/Y-pipe to me. And since the inlets of the Y-pipe will be smaller than the outlet, I do have to make sure the down-pipe-catalyser-combo mates to the Y-pipe inlet, but also the catback mating to the Y-pipe outlet, right? That is a lot of mixing and matching to deal with, no?
So which sections should ideally be 3"? all of them regardless of whether two pipes merge into one (single) or not (true dual)?
