I didnt regret not going 3". I have 2 1/2" system and its plenty big. about as big as possible around the tailpipe to splitters seems to me.

see the body shop for my infamous thread "floor/torque box/frame rail"
I just ask because my plan is going to oversized manifolds, 3" down tubes,3" x pipe to 2.5" mufflers and tailpipes on my 70 gto. Was hoping and hadn't heard of a clearance problem on the gtos.
