Default Is 4" Exhaust overkill on my current setup?

I found a buyer that is going to pay good money for my Thermal, and I will be upgrading to a dual gate T4 setup next year with a new bottom end, my question is will the 4" hurt my current setup as far as power and responce? I do not know if the 4" is too much for what the car currently is, I dont want to go to the tuner and have him say you should of kept the 3" on.

Neukin EL
GE Sleeded 81.5mm
Wiseco/Crower Pro
Tial 44mm
Tial 50mm
Victor X w/ 70mm TB
2.5" Charge Piping
All Ferrea w/ .5mm Oversize
3" DP
T67 H.O. to a 3" DP
Running E85 as Primary Fuel (500-600 whp all day)

Plan on just welding a 3-4" increaser on the DP for now until its time for a true 4" DP w/ the Topmount.....

do u have a .63 hot side now? if so then that turbo isnt big enough to flow for the 4 inch.

I dont see it hurting response to your current setup, that turbo provides plenty of backpressure to the engine. Doubt you will see any sig. power gains though.

if your around 600whp with that turbo, I would say your pretty close to maxing that 3 inch, it should be safe to go to a 4 inch exhaust.
