i need a new exhuast tip on my mp3 cause the one i have now is bent and i think it is a 4" and that is way to big, because im getting backflow and its taking away horsepower. does anyone have a suggestion on what size my new tip should be i was thinking about 3.5? or if thats still to big maybe a 3?

ummm...whatever you think looks good man. You won't see any difference performance wise between a 3", 3.5" or 4" tip

Click to expand...

The lack of backpressure is mostly due to the removal of your primary cat...and will have nothing to do with the exhaust tip...

Funny the MP3 ECU seems to burble/pop a LOT more than the P5 stock...I noticed that as soon as I re-installed the MP3 ECU in my P5..

anything smaller than 5" is a waste of money
