You'll make power, but with the 2.0l you might make just as much with 2.75in, but probably not more so if 3im is easier for you to do go for it.

I'd say take out the test pipe and get a step-up pipe made to increase the diameter from the header to your 3" exhaust. You should make a few hp with 3"

are you concerned about how loud it is? if your not then a header back would be best. if you are the i suggest the t1r 70EM + test pipe or high flow cat.

you dont need the resonator, but it'll help for sound though. you wont gain as much compared to a tune. you should consider pickin up an emange ult.

You could make as much as 5 whp from a 3in compared to what you have now.

If you are custom building it, then you should go headerback, just take the TP completely out. If you need to keep the TP for some reason, you could get a 70mm testpipe or a 3in one. Probably similar performance with either.

IMO 3" sounds like overkill, unless your going turbo
