Hey guys how it goin, I have a situation where I cant make up my mind between exhaust tips. I was wondering what you guys think I sould go with 2.5 mac lx tips, or some other tips that are 3inches. I have a trickflow street heat intake, tf stage 1 cam, throttle body, pulleys, all the boltons besides heads and injectors. So what should I go with 3 or 2.5. and also is there a difference in loudness between the two? And my car also has a cobra rear bumper. thanks for all the help guys.
Here are some pics if it will help you guys any. My car now has a saleen wing on it if that helps to.

If your exhaust is 3" all the way through, use the 3" tip. IMO

Stick with 2.5". Having 3" tips on the end of a 2.5" exhaust is semi-ricey to me - a subtle version of kids who put a 4" tip on the back of a 2" exhaust - although it will give a tad bit deeper of a tone. That, and usually folks like MAC only have them in chrome, whereas the 2.5" tails are usually stainless and, thus, will last longer.
