A 2.5 probably could get to 500hp, but if you ever upgraded to like stage 2 and so on, it would be better having the 3in and if you got 3in now no need to upgrade later on, but thats just my thought.

I could always sell the 2.5 cbe down the line I just want to make 500whp now and I'm wondering if it's better suited to have a 2.5 or 3in. right now it looks like we have a 50/50 split

You wont have trouble making 500 RWHP with a 2.5" exhaust. A good free flowing 2.5" exhaust with HFCs will flow up to 550 RWHP. A 3" exhaust is unecessary unless you after the really big gains of 600RWHP and beyond.

Where'd you get this data from? Yeah you probably could but you'd need to pushing like 15 psi with a stage 3 kit
