any 3" HFC?

do we have anybody who makes a 3' HFC? i'm eventually going turbo so getting a 2.5' now would render itself useless down the line

why? I'm on a 2.5" HFC and it will be fine for SC application south of 12psi
3" is way overkill unless your planning a 400hp+ setup

really? bc every1 i know has always said to go 3" as it's much less restrictive, so i figured 2.5" wouldnt preform as well

I'm sure if you went with it you'd be one of the first to try it. I've always felt that the "3 inch exhaust is only for forced induction" myth is exactly that, a myth. Plenty of B/K-series Hondas and F20/22c S2000's dispel this myth quite regularly and make gains in power throughout their entire powerbands.

i mean 3" wont hurt.. but based on what the vendors are saying, 2.5 is sufficient on this platform, at least.
