I'm getting a bb det and I want to get a 2.5'' ehaust line mandrel bent.So my question is: Is it better to get a 3'' or a 2.5'' if I plan of getting about 230-240hp??I have heard on this board that 3'' is better,but why?

TIA guys!!

To put it plain and simple... Turbos hate back pressure... the more free flowing exhaust you have, the more happier your turbo will be... Go with the 3 inch... I guarantee you wont regret it

yeah,but I think it can flow very well with a 2.5'' as well.I'm not getting 300hp there...

you're not going to be getting 300hp... for now :-D ... you will probably get power hungry and want more, so if you just do 3" now, it won't be an extra expense later... and I believe even though you aren't going to be making too much power, 3" would still be much better than 2.5" (I could be wrong but these are my thoughts)
