Made 520whp on GT-SS.Now, I just swapped to -5, added water-meth and charge pipe.

Just wondering when the 3 inch exhaust become restrictive?

( Suck because I like the sound of mine and bought a 150$ ultra-quiet resonator as a test pipe, varex electric valve and one extra muffler, I heard that 3.5 inch exhaust sound a bit too rumbly isn't it ?)

I highly doubt it.

What fuel?

But to answer your question, normally 3inch cat back will be ok for 450hp at the wheels.

Most of the important stuff is before the cat so it depends on what you have there

I wll say it again ( I got bashed before on this forum). I don't care if ppl don't believe my number. I'm not a showoff and couldn't care less about bragging my setup/numbers online. Number are only for reference not for bragging.

Fuel is 94 octane.

So what I should do is get a Y pipe ( front pipe, we call it?) 3.5.. TRY to find a resonator 3.5 inlet and 3.0 outlet. That will be the hard part.

Going up and down .5" doesn't really need different flanges. I.e. you can bolt 3" to 3.5" so long as the bolt holes are in the same spot. I'd imagine it would flow a bit better with matching flanges though...

Well it matters how much HP you ACTUALLY make because you are asking how much HP your exhaust can handle.

If you make more HP than you should be able to on the pipes you have then nothing you are told is going to mean shit

What mph does it run at the drag strip?

      Unless you're fortunate enough to buy a newer car, getting an older style plate to match your name/car is difficult because they've already been purchased.  Unlike other countries, personalised plates are locked to the country and not region, so there can't be multiple versions of the same plate but with a different area code.  Hope that helps

      People use the numbers to make it look like letters to spell words/names, which is where the illegal spacing comes in. For example this GR Yaris

      Today's rock removal from my stock pile out the back into a 4m³ skip bin, I still have a bit to go, hopefully there's enough room in the skip bin, it will be close My daughter and her boy was coming on Sunday to help, but, I got possessed by demons and started work as soon as the bin arrived at 1230 today Lots and lots of barrow loads were achieved  Currently I'm sitting on the lounge drinking beer thinking of how I should have waited till Sunday for some help, tomorrow will be a day off, in saying this, my day off will involve prep and paint of my alloy coolant and PS tanks with wrinkle paint (Jackie is in Sydney till Sunday so the home oven will get a run curing the paint....LOL)

      That's why I said it is a meaningless term. Because there is more than one meaning that people can apply to it. When we said "highflow", that is exactly what we mean, and exactly what is done. In a highflow, they take your housing and machine them out to take bigger wheels, have a better internal profile, etc etc, and fit a new core with the different/better/bigger wheels.
