What x-pipe??
So im changing up my exhaust and am going to delete my secondary cats and install an x-pipe.. Where and what x-pipe have you guys used?? Is 3" too big, or should I go with something smaller?

Thanks for your help

I used a magnaflow 2.5" X-pipe. I don't think 3" is too big but I do think it's unnecessary at our power levels.

Go with a maggie 3“ and swell the stock piping up so it fits.

The piping is 2.75" there right? So what would be easier to install 2.5 or 3?

The oem piping is 2.5" all the way to the resonator. After the resonator it become 2.75". So a 2.5" X-pipe would fit perfectly.

No problem. Regardless, the whole section of the center exhaust system will have to be redone because the cat setup is weird and will not allow the X-pipe to be a simple swap. But using 2.5" piping will fit better imo.
