I actually questioned when my friend mentioned 3" but he was so adiment about most flow possible I figured I'd ask.

Yeah my friend seems to be off about alot of stuff. My other friends with turbo cars are for the most part jackasses. So I pretty much have the one with bad advice to help me. Now I have you guys!
Also cutoffs would be sick!

You can run straightpipes
Ive driven in a Z that had straight pipe exhaust all the way back, no cats, no resonator, no mufflers, and it still sounded relatively quiet, you have to remember the Turbos on this car muffle the sound a LOT. It did still get kinda loud around 2400-2600RPM which is like 55mph on the highway. Yes some states still have a 55 limit on the highway.

i had a mercedes 300sd once and did an open 3in pipe right out of the turbo and by tecnicality it was legal since a turbo is a muffling device the car didnt need a muffler.
but thats a whole different thing
