Is there any hp gain on replacing the 2.25 rear tailpipes with 2.5" or 3" removing the resonators and adding 5" tips?

The restriction is the factory log manifolds/Cats/Y-pipe.

2-2.25” pipes are actually more combined volume/ID area than a single 3” with flow.

Unless your planning on doing headers and replacing the stock Y pipe you wont be gaining much from changing the catback to a catback system or doing a muffler kit, just sound. 5" tips will help give the exhaust note a slightly deeper tone

Let us know if we can help get you set up.

I would make it 2 x 2.5" not a single 3.

You can put a Borla or magna flow muffler on it and reduce some of the restrictions and it will also get rid of that 55 gal. drum that they call a muffler.

I have the Carwen which I'm very happy with and I added their 5" tips.
