I had a 2.5" lukey on my vt 97 auto and it was more than enough soundwise, middle muffler then straight through.. have heard a 3" also and there pretty damn loud with the same setup. not sure bout performance on either tho

3" dont bother it'll cause a bucket load of problems my zorst guy told me, any exhaust place worth their salt will advise you against it..
i just got a 2.5" on my VT and it sounds great .. its loud but not loud enough to be getting pulled over
3" will get u pulled over all the time

totally agree with ratz

3 inch is way too overkill for a V6.

3 inch is way too overkill for a V6.

unless its boosted

For a stock 6 banger....

To keep it legal go 2.5" with resi and muffler (will still be loud enough to hear)

To be slandered and laughed at by people like me go 3"

yeah plus if its a auto it will be a sh*t house sound

i have a v6 auto vt, and a 2.5 was more then enough, you dont want to go overboard. im assuming 3 inch would sound a bit like a truck on a bad day... just my thoughts
