Default Can I even fit a 3''?

On a 97 hatch, who is using a 3'' exahust? I right now have a 5zigen exhaust with what appears a 2.5 OD so im guessing its only 2.25'' piping. Right now im lowered on Eibach sportlines which i think is a 1.8'' drop and my exhaust is literally 3'' off the ground from the integras downpipe all the way back to the rear control arm. Its up as high as it can go, so maybe its a little lower than 1.8''.

Anyway, whos using a 3'' exhaust on their hatch, and any issues?

No back pressure, no torque, no forced induction, no care.

if you dont have turbo on your car, then dont go with 3''....cuz on a car with no turbo it would cause alot of backpressure....actually doesnt do any good to run such a big pipe diamete...that is what is basically saying, no turbo + 3'' = no care.....

You guys all suck ass at reading.

I have seen a 4" turboback on an EK, so it can be done. You may have to raise your ride height to prevent scraping.
