Default would you upgrade to 3" exhaust for 6psi?

well i can sell my 60mm super quiet greddy mx exhaust and upgrade to a 3" exhaust w/ an n1 style muffler (and possibly come up ahead $100 or so)...it would probobly be run in the tanabe (jdm) slant style...

just curious on a small t3 (60 trim) on low boost if it will help out...currently running a 2.5" downpipe, but i know a guy in the shop that could flare it out to 3" after the oil pan and make the test pipe of 3" and bolt it up to a kteller8 system.

im scared its going to be loud and obnoxious (im running open downpipe now so i dont even remember what my greddy sounds like...) but im told it could help spool up time and it could also help gain a few ponies throughout the powerband...just curious if its worth the hassle. thanks.

u could buy an exhaust cut-out and remove it at the track. or u can buy an electronic one and open it whenever you want. believe me, it does help spool time and it took off 6 tenths off of my time.

anything ive read on those say they stick and get bad...im not going to be at the track a ton, just driving around the streets and having fun...i just think it would be annoying opening up the e-cutout every time you wanna matt the gas...am i right?
