its really not going to restrict it, as it the same before the cats, where probably most of the restriction is going to happen. and either way, its still going down 1 3" pipe to the muffler anyway, wether it exits 2 or 1, its still comming into that thru 1 3" pipe. if you had a 3.5" pipe going to the muffler and then going out thru a 3" pipe, yeah then there could be restriction problems. i just think you guys are over thinking this a lil bit.

No no no no. It will not hurt it. If you already have a single 3" pipe earlier in your system, the only way you'll restrict it is if you use smaller than 3" pipe. AKA you'll have 3" pipe before your muffler, then your muffler, then whatever is after your muffler only changes something performance wise if it is smaller than the pipe before your muffler. The only thing that will change between a 3", 3 1/2", 4", 6", etc. pipe after your muffler is sound.

Ya mine is defiantly input. But if you look at it like Wilson you would see the longer the pipe the more drag you get.

I think stock is dual 2.5 after the muffler. It will sound killer be tight sounding because of the back pressure

yeah ......I mean if you ran water out a 3" pipe through muffler then out a 3" pipe vs running out a 3" pipe then out 2 - 2 1/2 " pipes the later will empty first, so for sure the all 3" should have more back pressure but you shouldnt see the restriction till you hit peak HP

Yes I agree but I think the 3 all the way back is restricting duel 3" or even 2.5 would be better IMO.[COLOR=[COLOR="Red"]
