    You lose backpressure and look kinda stupid.

    Stock motors sound like crap through three inch pipes.

    No offense meant, but a 3' single would still look pretty goofy. :)

    funny thing is thats what your "riceburners" say about v8 people. i have 2.25 inch exhaust on my mazda, it looks cool, sounds cool, and gives extra power (been dyno'ed on someone elses car)

    I love the sound of my 3" duals. I put the patriot side pipe on, I may have lost a little (something, fill in the blank) but it really fits the 70s style of my car and sounds great. Just two big glasspacks right under my windows...

    I will never go to anything else but sidepipes.

    i have 2 1/4 pipes.....looks good and sounds good..but the higher you go the less back pressure and you will lose performance...

    at least thats what i heard..

    I don't like the Rice Rocket sound (go kart on steroids), a loppy 8 is SOOO much cooler. and flows enough to need a big pipe.

    I have 2 or 2 1/4 duals with H-pipe, full length headers, thrush boss turbos, and 2 1/2 turn down tips.

    really good system imo

    would like to go to 71" sidepipes with H-pipe, if i can ever come up with that much cash.
