I would say no...
3" should do just fine...
after saying that...on mine, since I have no exhaust yet...Im going 3 1/2" because I'm tapping into the collector...fender exit wells with 3 1/2" collectors that will have caps...

I have tti 2in primary with a 3 1/2in collectr and a 3in exhaust should i leave it at the 3in or go to a 3 1/2 it it really worth the trouble and extra money thanks for the help henry
I think you would be wasting your money... if you have a good flowing muffler you can stay with the 3"... remember the farther back the exhaust is, the cooler it is and the cooler exhaust has less area in it(less area/volume, not sound volume) also the farther back the muffler is, the easier it is to control the note(DB level).... I went with 3 1/2" collectors to 3" to the back bumper

Right now it has a cheap sonic turbo muffler and an h pipe to the rear axle so maybe a dyno max muffler and an x pipe would be just fine and it did pick up 2 tenths with open headers.how about a 3" pipe with a 3 1/2" muffler wonder how that would work

The inlet and outlet of the muffler has NO bearing on how it flows... volume of the muffler does along with the construction of the interior... if you notice that alot of mufflers have a 3 1/2" inlet but its necked down to 3"... it does zero change

I had a 440 1969 Dart that picked up .8 and 9 MPH by removing a set of 2.5 turbo muffs and sides pipes exiting in front of the rear wheels, I used a set of 14x7x3.0 inch oval Magna flow with three inch pipes from the 3.5 inch Hookerfender well headers on my pump gas Duster. The muffs. are mounted behind the rear end between the rear sub frames and outer 1/4 panels, it is nice to drive and only looses .04 ET and .15 MPH in he 1/8 mile when I've removed the complete exhaust sytem at the local track, probally the weight making the differences and not the flow restrictions, not worth removing for that little gain The Duster runs low tens(best of 9.993 at 134.5 MPH ) on pump gas, motor only with the air cleaner and exhaust on 3450 lbs with me in it

3 OR 3 1/2 but I would use spin tech mufflers. THE BEST FOR SOUND AND POWER. http://www.spintechmufflers.com/ After you here them you will never want any other muffler!!!
What a person likes their car to sound like is a very personal thing... what size engine also changes the sound of the muffler .... I quit telling people what to buy because my taste may be very different than theirs... I happen to like them on the quieter size when cruising and dont mind a nice note when I get on it... I hate the low end rumbling when I'm cruising... like I said.... its a very personal thing.... and I spent 30+ years in the exhaust lab at Chrysler

I'd stay w/ 3" and get a straight through muffler like the dynomax ultraflow, hooker max flow, or magnaflow. You'll see more of a gain from swapoping mufflers than anything else. If you don't have an H or X pipe, get one. An X pipe makes more power, but H pipes sound better..just my personal opinion. I'd stay away from spintech mufflers.

Put a bung in the exhaust just in front of one of the mufflers and test for back pressure while under full throttle. Might show restrictions if you have any. I don't think the 3 inch pipe is a problem, but the mufflers may be depending on how good they are.
