DO NOT get 3" piping unless you are planning to go F/I. The worst mistake. The Biggest I would recommend on a N/A is 2.25 or 2.5 at most. I have a 3" and I have lost a substantial amount of low end grunt. Power loss that you can feel physically is a sudstantial amount number wise. The 3.5 is a torquey motor, putting a 3" will make your car feel like an RSX. You have to have your car above 4500 rpm to constantly pull hard. With the stock piping, you pull way much harder.
