Isnt it hard to get 3" pipe around the control arm? I got 2 1/2" on mine and when my car is lower than stock height, it comes damn close to hitting the pipe, and its almost all the way against the underside of the car.

I have 2 1/2" custom piping on mine and I'm probably lowered atleast two inches. I haven't had any problem yet.

2 1/2" piping and a straight cylinder shaped muffler (no silencer), try keeping the piping bends to a minimum and your car will be extremely LOUD

my friend had 3" piping on his hatch with a zc and it was way to loud!!

I have the Magnaflow muffler, its loud, and not raspy (sets off car alarms all the time) I love it.

Mine is the Oval shaped stainless muffler with a 3" inlet and 4" outlet.
