If you have headers that the pipe drops into a 3" pipe you would not get a anything lower then 3" due to pressure will be backed up and will be pointless in getting headers. If you have a 2" exhaust you can go bigger however if there is no pressure then that is also bad however a bit bigger can reduce pressure and create a more free flowing exhaust which will enable a slight performance gain.

Exactly what I was thinking, it's jut some pipes with mufflers on it, why pay $$$$ foor them whey they does f all performance wise.

You get a nice deep growl from header/CAT and CAI already and they actually give decent performance gains. Besides, some CAI's are so noisy at WOT you can't hear the fart cannons from inside the car anyway (injen or icebox with k&n filter for example).

Asked that tsudo seller some questions like shipping and more importantly fitments and quality, since that's the thing I'm iffy about. For the record I've already got an Injen CAI.

I thought the max size you would put on an na car like the euro was 2.5inch. Isnt 3 inch more in the realm of turbo cars?

lol the seller said shipping will be around 500....

Mine is 3" its not so much a forced induction its more the power pulling and size of an engine. Turbos normally have a 4" turbo back for optimum performance. Most engines like the bseries engine would use 2.5" unless forced induction was added. There is not much difference between 2.5" and 3" however if wishing to go turbo or for most accord euros supercharge or increase the power substantially then a 3" exhaust will be a much better building block however there is nothing wrong with 2.5"
