Quick Exhaust Help. Using no muffler?
I planned on going today to build me a new single exit catback exhaust.
My original plan was 2.5 into a magnaflow muffler to a 3inch tip.
My friend suggest I go just 2.5 piping straight back
Another suggest I go 3inch straight back - I searched and saw you should go 3inch if you plan on doing a turbo in future
What are the main pros/cons of each. I live in virginia beach and it seems cops have nothing better to do then ticket cars here. I want it to have a nice roar im not to worried as long as it doesn't sound like when you know how loud it gets when you go through tunnels haha.

Its really up to you, but keep a muffler on it either way. straight back makes it loud and while our engines generally sound good, it probably wont be sounding as great as it could be.
I just noticed your profile says sc400. i thought we were talking about 2j's here.
haven't seen to many single exit sc400's. If thats the case I wouldn't consider 3" too large for 8 cylinders to breathe, and I would just run that with a good muffler on the end.
when its done give it a few weeks to break in and if it sounds a bit raspy go back and have them weld a resonator on the straight section.
