Default 3" exhaust with a greddy kit???

Anyone running a greddy kit with a 3" exhaust? Are any of you guys having problems with boost creep?

if you are running moderate to low boost levels which most people are with the greddy kit (under 10psi) i think the 3in is over kill a little. the best thing you can do for the greddy kit is get a 2.5in dp, remove cat, and put in a test pipe, followed by a 2.5in from the test pipe back. and its not always bad to have a little back pressure, torque reasons

I'm going to 2nd the 2.5 exhaust too. I've thought it over a lot ( whether to go 2.5 or 3 inch) and I've found that a 2.5 is more than enough to support 13 psi. It would be overkill to put up a 3 inch.

So youre saying with a 2.5 downpipe and a 2.5 exhaust or less, i wont have a problem with spiking?

Reason im asking about the exhaust is because i already have a thermal 3" exhaust laying around.

odd but my thermal is laying at my feet right now, literally.

i am also interested on the spiking issue. i have a post going on in here mainly for the threat of spike or creep on the greddy kits. i really dont want to have to take off the turbo and port the WG hole
