presilencer

Just bought a racing beat presilencer for $30 (lucky).
I have a 3" exhaust all the way back right now, but the presilencer is only 2.5". will this affect performance.
thanks'
luis

going down to a 2.5" presilencer won't make your car run like a hyundai pony or anything at all, I wouldn't think twice about putting a 2.5" silencer on a 3" exhaust, but I don't really care about 5 HP either.... so maybe a second opinion would be in check

if you put it in, then it will effectivly make your exhaust flow like a 2.5 "

just keep that in mind
