I don't want to burst your bubble, but it will hurt your prformance. I wasn't going to say anything if you put it on already, but since you havent..
It won't make your car sound any better than the proper size. You could go a little bigger, if you open your intake, but not much. I have a 2.5L V6, and I only have 2¼" exhaust, because that's what gives me the best performance. You should get a header, and 2" exhaust with a good catback. Do you remember my exhaust? I had a Magnaflow muffler, and resonator tip. I took it off, and you can buy it, if you want performance, and a good sound. For the money you'd put into a custom 2½" exhaust, you could have a great sounding setup that actually gives you a few HP. Trust me on this :)

the reason i was going to do 2.5 is so when my motor blows up in the next six months and i swap a bp i dont have to mess with it later and i plan on puttin some money into the bp so idk in my head it all made sence to go with 2.5 i know its going to be too much now. and the reason im doing my exhaust now is becasue its all corroded and has like ten leaks in it.

Okay. That makes sense, but I don't know what the right size would be for the BP. I know the info's in here somewhere.

If we get the hatches done, and I get the tune right, and gut my car, we should have a similar power/ weight ratio..
Oh, except I weigh about 1½ of you. :oops:
I wish I could eat salad.
