I guess inner could be the same but doubt wall thikness would make up for a quarter of an inch difference in OD

Andrew any further thoughts on the purpose of the piping being smaller than stock from an engineering point of view or why it was chosen? Or is it alot of trial and error when making an xpipe like this?
Based on our previous dyno testing and the 2.5'' x-pipe is the best suited for the s65.
Like I said before a 3 inch pipe on the racer car made much less torque than the 2.5 that we currently sell. The size comparison between stock and our xpipe does not really line up do to the extreme restrictions of the cats.

We do however switch up to a 3 inch rear exhaust section for better flow.
