    Default 2.25, 2.5 or 3 inch?

    gday
    just wondering what you guys think will be a better catback system.
    the 2 1/4" , 2 1/2" , or the 3" pipes. which will produce a better note and more power.

    opinions appreciated

    cheers

    On the SV6 I recommend a twin 2 1/4" into single 3". All bolt on and gives a good increase right across the rev range. I do this system for $485 shipped.
