Thats my goal, however far fetched it may be, it's where I would be happy and can say I can move on to something else...

Also, the reason why I wouldn't care is I like volume I like mashing on the throttle and HEARING the engine come to life as you rock back into your seat... So I don't mind the up front cost of getting the 3" if in the end I don't have to trade it out later. I know F.I.'s Exhaust is awesome, but I dunno how many people would want a used one when they can get a brand new one for a great deal from Tony.
Breaking 600WHp will not be a problem with a TT. Caution though ... even the VHR-TT with the 3" pipes I was in made 600+WHp. GTM and the owner decided to clip the power output in the end for reliability sake.

If you like the sound of a loud exhaust, you will surely get it with the 3". Maybe it will motivate you to hurry with the TT if it is too loud N/A? Here in CA, being less obvious has its advantages.

Something else to think about ... if you are planning on dropping 15 large for a TT, swapping out a 2.5" for a 3" should not even be on your mind. If it were me, I'd be curious to see if I can hit 600WHp with a 2.5". I bet it can be done.

Finally, Fast Intentions can also build their Z exhaust in 3" if you want. Give them a call.
