  • New I-pipe diameter?

    the previous owner of my car installed a magnaflow muffler and 2.5" dual pipes comming out to the back of the car. he did not install a full catback system though, leaving the I-pipe to stock 2.25". Now what would be a smart upgrade for the I-pipe? I'm thinking either 2.75" or 3". Im gonna be running 9psi supercharger, and i have headers. ive read up on backpressure and exhaust velocity, but i just need help on which size would be better. thanks.

    what is the inlet to the muffler?

    I would match that, a 3" I pipe to a 2.5" muffler inlet would be kind of pointless
