Will it be more responsive on the 2.5" round the streets compered to the bigger? But Will a 3" make more power?
2.5" exhaust on rb30det maxed out at 340whp (told to come back with bigger exhaust), what car made 600hp with a 2.5" exhaust?

If you are aiming for 200wkw on a GT28 I would highly reccomend 3" (straight as possible) exhaust..

What ca18det makes a true 550atw figure in the country? LOL

You want as least possible restriction in the exhaust as possible for Forced Induction unless you have a lot of money to spend on extensive R&D
