I have the magnaflow 3inch with magnapacks and I feel a little more on the top end. I know flowmaster has a 3 inch also.

Its a straight through muffler. Louder than the chambered mufflers but a better flow of exhaust. You can see threw the other end if you look into it.

JBA makes a really nice 3" cat-back system that several of us are running. I'm far from 700hp but it is a well made system. People have posted pics here - it was the Shelby deal we lucked out on.

I'm gonna put the 750 HP kit on mine and wonder what exhaust and x pipe I should put on mine. What do you think?

In all honesty, if you're going to be around the 700rwhp range, a 3 inch catback won't make much of a difference. From ym experience, I'd recommend you just search for a sound you want instead of look for 5 extra hp on top end. The biggest regret I have is blowing money on my longtube headers and 3 inch catcback. If I had to do it all over again, I'd get the lethal O/R X-Pipe & and catback that gives me the best sound, which I like the borlas a good bit. I have the 3" magnapack catback system and it's nice and muscley and after 3k rpm it's LOUDDDDDD but it hasd an annoying drone between 1750 & 2000 rpms.

I really wish corsa made a 3" catback. That would be my first choice.

I have magnapacks also with the 3 inch pipes I had a muffler ship weld in 3 inch glasspacks and it made the drone tone down alot and made the exhaust sound so much better.
