Change the piping from the muffler to the tip to a 3"

Cheap way out, change the end pipe diameter (like Casper suggested)

Expensive way out, new 2 1/2" catback with straight through muffler.

Caspers on the money, or go for a full 3inch exhaust ;) lol

You could remove the muffler there, but it will sound crap..

My friend has a Hotdog + Muffler. No extractors, and it sounds loud/mean as.

Won't your setup be just a bit too loud?

GlennAUII has a nice sounding car.

Not sure on what exhaust combo he's running though.

I have a 2 1/2" catback with straight through muffler with twin 2 1/2" tips and it sounds OK.

If you really want to stand out... 3inch cat back with 1 small high flow sports muffler.
and believe me, it screams out... you'll want it quieter lol.
