Questions:
1. 3" or 2.5"? Save weight with 2.5" vs possible better 'breathing' from 3" Opinions?
2. I probably can't run straight pipes for the noise. Can I get by with a single resonator (glasspack) and be under 95 db?
3. If I stick with a single resonator is it worth some weight savings to put in an aftermarket one, or is the stock one light-ish? Anyone weigh the stock (front) resonator?
Thanks for chiming in.
