3" seems pretty big, but it depends on the boost you want to run. Remember to big = lag and too small means more turbulence due to ratio of wall space. Remember from cal fastest air travels in the center of the pipe. Maximum boost has an equation for the size of piping. I would try to get the book if you plan to boost.

eh, just get another piece, I thought about doing the same thing but in the long run you could sell that aem and have a proper piece made and have cash left over.
