    Simple answer, yes, way overkill, 3" will sound shite.

    2.5 is quite enough mate, you will prob lose power with a 3" and will sound crappy

    3" is overkill. Dont do it.

    Heck I would be of the opinion that 2.5" is also too much unless your going forced induction. 2.25" should be the way to go.

    sorry yeah, i though it was only single in which case 2.5 is good, however being a twin system go the 2.25
