Default Agency power?!

So im thinking about getting the Agency power exhaust.It looks and sound amazing IMHO. however i noticed the piping is 3 inch in diameter. Im not planing on going forced induction so im thinking 3in is too big. What do you guys think? also do they make it in a smaller pipping?

No they don't make it in smaller piping. 3 inch is just fine. Trust me, I used to have one.

i have agency power, its one of the best single exhaust out there compared to JIC.

3inch is perfect for the car and looks great

if u really wanna open up the exhaust get Berk HFC w/ AAM y-pipe. amazing

no that exhaust is for a differnt car..that bend is so that pipe can fit over the chasis bar (i believe its called).

this is the right one just get it from here, free shipping and great service.

Personally, I think a 3" single is almost too small for a V6. IIRC, SG Motorsports is running 3.5" on their car. They do have cams but still. Some hondas are running 3" exhaust.

3" is fine for bolt-on guys, etc. If you plan for FI, definitely consider something larger.

I wanted to try a 3.5" single exhaust but only one I can find is ARC and its like 6k. Pfsupercars makes a 4" but that's a little to much.

It'd be better to have a competent shop make one. You can just buy a quality muffler and resonator, then have them do it up.

I'd probably go with something like this and just put a nice tip out back. http://www.amazon.com/MagnaFlow-1415.../dp/B000CC9C8C
