I am extremely excited to put this together and install it on my car. I have a buddy that is going to be helping me that is well qualified with this type of stuff and Sam told me that my kit is going to be shipping with the instructional DVD(thats why my kit hasn't shipped yet). It seems to me this 2.5 or 3 in exhaust is a ongoing battle like i said earlier to fuz and i think it mainly comes down to your goals. I am going to stay with the 2.5 and ride it out and see what happens. I have a strong feeling that it will turn out well and because of Sam's words which i quote "You will not be disappointed".

With the internal gates you will be better off with the 2.5" all the way around combo. I would say, though, to stay within the 450-475whp range. I turned up the boost on mine yesterday for the first time to the high boost of a whopping 8.6psi and 520whp and traction was an issue. Second gear hated me and I quickly reverted back to the lower boost. It was not so much the upper HP causing the issue, but the higher torque numbers down low. Too much for the street IMHO. I think I'm just getting old. *haha*
