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?

      Definitely a good “future upgrade” option if you plan on keeping the car and dialing it in even further.

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".

      Yea, that is what I was getting at in my ramblings too. The nismo one actually is a 1.5 way and a 1 way. They don't do a *2* way because a true *2* way would have equal ramp angles. Or is that a true 1.5 way? Realistically I think a "1.5 way" does not actually exist. A diff can either lock in two directions or one. It also doesn't help that a LOT of people in Australia speak about 1.5 way diffs are referring to their 1 way diff.
