I just installed the 3" last night. My driver side downpipe ripped. It's hanging on by a thread.

Even with that huge leak, the exhaust system is pretty quiet when not getting on it.

The 3” is definitely louder by quite some margin, I thought the tone between them both were about the same. None will get annoying on long rode trips, at cruising speed they aren’t much louder then stock from what I heard. Around town the 3” will be mildly loud while the 2.5 will be pretty tame until you get on it. Personally, I’d choose the 2.5”, I like quieter exhausts on these cars.
Thank you. Decision made, will be ordering 2.5".

Not that I know of. Tyler Clark has his promo code that should save you some too.

It doesn't look like it does, or they just didn't update their site.

I'd ask them.

I have a feeling they don't. The new tips are 3" diameter, not 2.5".
