2 & 1/2" or 3" for a 3b S2 running near 300bhp, going from downpipe back? Been told 3" is too big, anyone have any comments?

Original downpipe and 2.5 from there on is well enough.- -
3" (76mm) exhausts can have clearance problems on the Coupe - both with the ground and with very tight turn over one of the rear driveshafts.
2.5" is a safe bet and will have no problems with 300bhp in my opinion, but you can also get 2.75" (70mm) from some custom exhaust places - its a good compromise size if you want to avoid the 76mm stuff.

Thats a good point Paul, 2.5" will be fine for 300bhp, its when you want over 400 that 3" is needed.sigpic
