Scratching my head and wondering if there are any monster installs that have happened in the Hyundai community where the owner/builder needed bigger than 3" exhaust or IC piping.

Why would you? 3" is good for over 600hp



If you have more than that why even run an exhaust

Seriously, if you're making that kind of power you need to go with one of these:

There has never been a car here that even needed 2.5" They could get by with 2.25"



All my civic friends have exhaust like above. But I refuse to cut my evo hood for that nonsense.

It's really unnecessary unless you're making over 500 to the wheels, and at that point it's no longer terribly streetable.

My buddy with a 600whp civic drives to work quite frequently.

My exhaust pipe is like 15'

You would definitely need more than 3" to even make it out of the engine bay
