to be honest i had both on an 88 gxl and i really couldnt tell the difference. if im correct, the free'r flowwing exhaust loses low end torque(which we dont have anyways), but you would have to run like 2.5 with no cat and no muffler to be free flowing enough for that. im by far not an expert but i really dont think your going to feel it in your pants and thats really the only thing that matters. unless your running p-port and a stand alone, then dont listen to a word i said.

+1. I've heard 2.5" for pretty much any N/A. Racing Beat is 2.5" and I figure they know far more than I do.
