I spoke to someone ( can't remember name) at Nameless about their 3" overpipe/midpipe coming soon and related power loss and they didn't expect to see powerloss with this setup. I also know from trolling s2k forums as I had planned to buy one before the snap decision to buy the FRS, that 3" actually lost power in some cases.

Most of the s2k dyno plots I've seen after a 3" showed higher flow rates but lost tq on the low end.

I just don't want to drop $1k and it be worse off.
