Default question on exhaust

i'm wanting to put the skunk2 mega power catback exhaust on and i have too questions, I'm pretty sure its 3" piping so is that too much for my ep3, and also can i put that after market exhaust on my stock header until i get a new one. does it just bolt-on?

here is the exhaust.

If it's made for your car. It will bolt right on. *eDiT* It should bolt right on.

it is 3" OD. i think that is too big. it'll feel slower when daily driving because you'll be staying in the lower RPM's, where you'll lose alot of torque do to the piping size. btw, its "two" not "too"

ohh thank-you, grammar isn't my best subject, so if i get 2.5" piping, i will feel full power at low RPM's also.

yeah you still wouldn't feel it much with a 2.5" on an EP3, i barely felt any low end torque when i had just CAI and Exhaust. i'd stick with 2.36" unless you don't care about not having low end torque

ok then, i guess i'll search for a different type of exhaust, i just like skunk2 products.
I'm pretty sure the Greddy Ti-c is 2.5, i'll probably go with that then

I thought you planned on doing some kind of forced induction to your car? With that being said...wouldn't the 3" be better?

I dont drive an ep but I am running a 3in apex-i exhaust on my rsx, it lost alot of low end even compaired to stock, but it pulls alot harder in the top end where it matters anyways. But with low compression 2.5 or smaller would be best for your car.
