just 3" dp will make more power but isnt too practical for the street in my opinion. some do it though.

Obviously just a DP is easier, but do you really want your car that loud? It's cool for about 20 minutes, after that you'll wish you had a complete exhaust system.

Whatever your decision, make sure the engine is calibrated for it. I.E. don't tune it on full exhaust, then expect the same performance on just a DP and vice versa.
