never in the history of ever should anyone do a 3" anything on a non-turbo car, period
-it will sound like a straight-piped asshole
-not only will you not gain any power, you will actually lose torque
-if you want some decent sound to your car either get a good cat-back exhaust or save up and go the turbo route

Sounds like you want to have your ears rapped repeatedly by the noise, even long after your car is off! Man, if you're into that kind of stuff, do it...but for the outside world you will not look as good as you hope! Just sayin'!

On a serious note, dont do it. I had a straight front pipe in 3 inch and it made the car sound bad, like really bad! droney, loud...and that was with a cat back!
