2.17" stock. a 2.5" dp and hfc make a pretty descent difference in flow, highly recommended to do at some point if you can't afford it now.

3" dp to 2.5" seems to be satisfy a lot of people.

yes a few times. and since ive already had my car straight downpipe for a while i know what to expect.. but since im going to be spending 100$ on a dp, like 20 on a res. 222 for the muffler.. i dont think i can shell out another 200+ for an electric cut out.... well..... at least not this week

There's a private sale for one if you are interested. Local for you too. What if you would instead do just a down pipe, cut out and muffler only, keeping the stock piping and resonator? So your car won't be extremely loud going through the dp and muffler until you switch it to only flow through the dp and out the cutout. Just a suggestion, you hear a lot of people regretting removing the resonator and thinking it is way too loud and annoying.

well the stock res is to big and muffles a lot. want my car to be loud. but not that loud. right now i cut out the stock muffler and just have the resonator. its actually pretty loud, loud enough that a saleen stared to mess around with me yesterday. so ill probly get a small res to quiet it down a little. but i do want a deep loud tone.
