I am wondering if this is engineered to increase velocity or was it simply a matter of that small of a difference does not matter and 2.5 inch is much easier to get than the wier d2.75 inch bmw likes to use in other applications?

Our X-pipe is 2.5 inches measure from the outside of the pipe. The inside measurement is 2.3 inch.

We made a custom 3 inch x-pipe for a customers race car per his request and lost power. Bigger is not always better...
