Is borla true 3 inch
Even though borla haves the two 2.25 outlets is it technically still a true 3 inch exhaust system since it has 2 outlet which equals just as much exhaust exiting space as 3inch if not more?

no i wasnt talking about the tips..the tips are 3.5..the outlet leading to the tips from the canister muffler are 2.25 which is essentially 4.50 of exiting space while true 3 inch is 6..but o well i dont have FI anyway

it's 3" I just swapped my clutch and was playing around with my exhaust while it was off.. it's 3" from the cat back to muffler where it gets split into two 2.25 inch pipes, I would call it true 3"

The X is silent
Because the flanges choke the inner diameter of the pipe, and, as Bernoulli pointed out:
Bernoulli Equation
Also, the way the exhaust gasses exit the combustion side of the engine are so restrictive that you could run a "True" (cough-BS-cough) 3 inch exhaust and gain absolutely nothing in flow. Furthermore, there a LOT more variables to consider than the inside diameter of the pipe when it comes to engineering a good exhaust. So, like I said before - it doesn't matter. Having a "true" three inch exhaust just gives you bragging rights over kids who don't know better. As proof to this concept: there are boosted cars in this club with a stock exhaust, and a lot of ricers out there with obnoxious exhausts - Probably all "true" three inchers.
