why would you go from a 3inch down pipe to a smaller catback?

you just dropped 10K in your car.... make it sound like you droppped 10K in your car!!!!! hah j/p make it sound like you want ( if the tuner says it will be alright let him put it on. but if he can't get the power you want and it becomes a bottle neck, which it will be for a turbo setup, then make him pay for it!!! )
