unfortunatly it will make more noise, be more obnixous, and make you look like a total idiot (even if your car is fast )

I was having traction problems............ with my 2 1/4" exhaust on my cavalier 2.2l turbo @ 7psi.........
got the 3" SIDE EXIT........... hit 11psi when I got it back and I couldn't drive hard in 1st or second....... absolutely NO traction now............... spool was faster, more powerful, and damn the sound was wicked..................
Look before the rear wheel....................
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 3" on a cavalier........... that now sounds like a mustang gt, and is WAY faster.............mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
haha

on my n/a gsr i was running open header for a lil while and then i added the cat and mid pipe and felt a lil more power and then i went to a rsr gt2 straight pipe with muffler and it added alot more power. and my booy has an n/a jdm gsr and he loosed power because hes runnin a 3" back so exhaust def has a big play on how your car will preform. also there was a memeber here a lil whille back that thought they might have a bad turbo but it weas the fact that the stock exhaust was being hooked up to his dp.

Most of the cars on here just don't need a 3" pipe. In order to efficently make use of a 3" exhaust, you'd have to be in the 500+ hp area. 2.5" is more than enough if it is tuned to the correct length. On a n/a car, even 2.5" can be overkill in some instances. Trust me, your 1.6 or 1.8 just doesn't move enough cfm to justify 3". Bigger is not always better. Now that being said, flame away...everyone has their own opinion, even if it has no factual base.
