There is a limit to that, and on naturally aspirated engines, its about 2.25"-2.5" or so. Beyond that, the bigger exhaust does not flow fast enough and the engine loses low end power.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the info. I just want what is best for my baby. Well I guess that means that I'm looking for something that will help me with my performance and sound. Ideally I would love to have something fabricated so that I could go with a dual exhaust (one left rear, one right rear) but thats just because I've never seen a scoobie w/ that.
