I don't want to start a fight here, but 3 inch is WAY too big for this car. If , for arguments sake, you did gain wheel horsepower with your Exhaust, then with a 2.5 inch setup, you would gain even more. Regardless, your 3 inch exhaust would Maybe give you power up top but completely eliminate the little bottom end you have. Thats great that you think the K20 is special and needs a 3 inch, but its a waste. A three inch is too much for most turbo cars. Let alone a 2.0 N/A motor with NO TOURQUE
