3" or 2.5" I pipe, read in...

[fbird]

I already have a 2.5 inlet flowmaster 80 series, so i will for sure be using it which one of these set ups are best.
1. 2.5 Flowmaster 80 series, 3" I pipe, 2.5 After Market Cat
2. 2.5 throughout the whole car
3. 2.5 Flowmaster 80 series, 3" I pipe, 3" After market cat.

Im looking for nice sound and a decent hp booster, and this is for everday driving, i don't really race but if theres a spokesman for foldgers buzzing his little coffe can around i want to be able to put him in his place

3" is way too big for a 3.4L. Stick with 2.5 especially for an everyday driver

can a regular muffler shop make a custom 2.5 manderel bent i pipe, as long as they have a maderel bending machine they can do this right?

they can do it that is if they have a mandrel bender. I've called every single muffler shop known in my area, even my state! and none of them have mandrel bending machines. good luck if u can find one.
